So I recently moved into a new apartment and I've realized that I am super allergic to black mold. I wish I noticed that the bathroom is poorly ventilated and has black mold growing in the drywall-by poorly ventilated I mean no Windows and no fan. I contacted my landlord and they are planning on gettting it fixed, but it will obviously take some time before it is completely better.  
So what can I do in the meantime to make sure I don't get too sick from the mold (over the counter allergy medication isn't helping)?  
I've been looking into a dehumidifier or an air purifier, but I have no clue if that should help. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  
 
Thank you in advance!

I lived in a townhouse that had a poorly vented bathroom. It didn't have a ceiling fan but just a vent that was connected to the air exchange. I don't think it worked well becauase I too ended up with a lot of issues with my bathroom. Anytime I brought it up to my landlord they would come and take pictures of the problem but would never do any repairs while I lived there. Instead they just kept asking me how long I planned on living in said unit. I got sick of going a couple of years and still not having the problem fixed and only watched it get worse. I eventually got myself and my kids the heck out of there and found a way better place to live.  
 
I should have taken a friends advice and took my problem to the Residential Tenancy Branch but never did because I assumed it would be fixed when the landlord was taking pictures of the problem. My fault for being so naive and thinking there are decent human beings in the world.  
 
I bet if it was their family living their it would have been a different situation and it would have been fixed asap.

I lived in an apartment and we didn't realize the roof was full of black mold and I have never been so sick in my life!

A reaction to black mold isn't like a typical usually benign allergy, like for example to pollen.  
 
Did a bit of research, Black mold, known as Stachybotrys chartarum, release mycotoxins which can cause permanent health issues with prolonged exposure. Here's just some of the symptoms:  
 
Respiratory problems  
Skin inflammation  
Hemorrhage  
Irritation of the mucous membranes  
Damage to internal organs  
Mental impairment  
Tiredness  
Nausea  
Immune system suppression  
 
Taking allergy medications will just mask the symptoms, but won't stop the damage from the toxins.  
Mycotoxins are so small that even HEPA rated air purifiers and vacuums can't fully capture these particles and they stay toxic for years, the problem here is the toxins are going to be present even after the mold contaminated drywall is (carefully) removed, the entire apartment and all your possessions will still be contaminated. Thankfully the toxins can be deactivated by a commercial ozone generator, used by mold remediation companies, either that or throwing out every unwashable possession, stripping all carpets and washing apartment top to bottom.  
 
You should really press this issue to your landlord, that it needs to be professionally dealt with ASAP  
In the meantime you should either:  
 
A. Stay somewhere else until it's professionally remedied  
B. Spray the affected area with Concrobium(a fungicide, available at most hardware stores) so it cant produce anymore mycotoxin spores, wash everything washable, vacuum when all the windows and doors are open, and ventilate the apartment as often as possible (daily) (open all windows and doors) until your satisfied that there's been a complete air change.
