Hello, patty you can post this story on the saline website, or wherever you like......What is the link where this will be posted, so i can read the other stories?? thank you Hello..my name is , I was 29 years old when i got my SALINE-implants Aug. 1998..one week before my 30th Birthday, I lived in Fla.)( a present to myself.).Little did I know it would ruin my entire life. I was a bartender for years-former flight attendant-photographer..I loved to work out(for 9 years), and was getting into lifting weights, I was Very active, a ball of energy, not too many people could keep up with me...In my type of job ,implants were an everyday thing...Everyone had the implants. I swore my whole life i would never get them. "that it was shallow". I spent alot of my time at the beach and owned 20 bikinis, i was bueatiful, inside and out, if only i knew that now..After many physical and mental abusive relationships, i was feeling down about my body, and esteem...3 more friends i knew got the implants..wow they started to look good..and a good price....My family tried to talk me out of it, and some good friends...no you are too natural , don't do it..would if they make you sick??? No...not me...I have met OVER 100 women with them, and they were not sick(maybe they are now)..Well let me get to the point..the self esteem thing...yeah i was SO nervous and unsure, but did it anyway,,,EVERYONE in the surgery place had implants..they looked GREAT.....why not me??? Doc....could they make me sick?? could i have an allergy to them..NO .....I have been doing this 15 years......NEVER seen anyone sick, and besides silicone" is made from the earth the sand , it is all natural", the nurses nodded their head and agreed.....I was going..cancelled my 1st appt...then went..well one month later the coughing began..and coughing.....and weezing...for 7 months on and off...ok...my dr. said it was allergy(YEAH NOW I REALIZE TO THE IMPLANTS!!?),was still working out..but sucking on a nebulizer every other day....Then that went away.....during this time, i was having MAJOR trouble sleeping, and my heart was always racing(look back, coincidence..Maybe i was over training-NOT)..Later on , when something made me nervous, my whole body would tingle, like i had an electric shock..Life was good, after Christmas i was going to become a personal trainer. My last good memory was going to a few Christmas parties, dancing the nite away, and saying to myself, 2000 is going to be a great year, i can feel it. .Low and behold, two days before christmas Dec. 23rd, 1999.....IT HIT ME LIKE BRICKS......IT STOLE MY WHOLE EXSISTANCE, i went to lay down to go to the gym, and never got up...wound up in the er...well you have mono.....I felt like i was dying...WEll the "MONO" never went away, because I NEVER HAD MONO..I HAVE IMPLANT DISEASE!!!!!!!!! I could not shower for a week sometimes longer.....I would not eat, because i could not make it to the kitchen.I am dying......i am scared....Wish i were dead....this was about 16 months after implants..Fell upon a book about the dangers of implants ..then got on the net..almost fainted when i saw all the women WITH the SAME symptoms as me(even the ones with the SILICONE GEL)...NO COINCINDENCE>>>KNOWONE CAN TELL ME DIFFERENTLY)..At this point here are my symptoms(and i still have them-I am disabled now for 17 months) I am desperate,sometimes i feel suicidal: Extreme dibilitating fatique, ringing in ears, lost 75% of hair(still falling out-getting ready for a wig), had multiple chemical sensitivites(they are gone now)-at one point i could not leave the house, i was allergic to EVERYTHING-,Bowel problems(Ibs), Extreme body aches and pains, headaches, Memory loss, mental confusion, blurry vision(never wore glasses before), can't remember what i did yesterday, yellowing of my skin, EXTREME weight loss, anxiety, panic attacks,fevers 99-100,rocking feeling, depression,sleeping disorders,. So I got the implants out 2 years after implantation,and 9 months after being sick.....Well now my breasts look deformed, with HUGE scars, the mental anquish of that operation was like i gave myself a mastecomy..I ruined god's body. It was the worst experience ever. I look like i have aged 15 years...the guilt and self blame is unbearable..I lost everything, the money i had saved to by myself a condo,my lovely apt, every cent gone, everthing i busted my but for scince i was 15 is GONE,had to move back to ny with my dad,my health, my looks, my pride and esteem, have to rely on others to help me, and believe me when you are sick like this,,most people, even family members bail out on you..Having major problems getting disability..Dr.s will not even admit it could be the implants........I know better....they are salesman, like when you buy a used car...are they going to say well this car is a hunk of junk..no...they will tell you anything to make you buy it, so they can make money...I am still disbled with the same symptoms even7 months after explantation, i am trying to accept that my reality is I probably will be stuck like this for the rest of my life, never to dance, fall in love, work, walk more than two blocks, take care of myself, be able to think clearly, look myself in the eye and be happy with myself for doing this, my chest will always be a reminder...By the way, the dr.s are trying to tell me this is "all in my head"....and even people i know...it has been a long tough road..I know people are saying"well if it is the implants-how come when you take them out, you don't get better"..well my theory is when someone smokes cigarrettes for 10 years, gets lung cancer, and quits, it 's like saying why doesn't there lung cancer go away??WHy because disease does just not "go away once it is here, you are stuck with it. ....I know this is leagthy, but if it stops one person from getting implants, that is ok...But if you still want to get them after this story, you are out of your mind!! It could happen to ANYONE..don't ever let anyone put you down, feel good about yourself, the way you are, someone will love you for that, and thank god for your health............That's all there is to know about life........MissBoop0827@...
