Subject: Women with implant problems need someone to talk to

I have heard from a woman who took her implants out after 20 years of problems, and feels badly about her body and her life (divorced, etc) and would like to talk to some women with similar experiences who can help her move forward with her life. She doesn't want to dwell on how badly she feels. She lives in Tampa, so if anyone is nearby that would be especially good. I also have heard from a few women who are considering explantation and need advice. Who is willing to help? I will give them your e mail address. One woman has only had her saline implants less than a year and has a rash, joint pain, hair loss, fatigue, etc. It would be great if she could get advice from someone with similar experiences who had a good experience with explantation. Another woman has had implants for 10 years and her problems have gradually gotten worse until she realized it might be related to her implants. Please let me know if you'd like to talk to any of these women. Thanks.
