Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Hi , I was the same way...very health conscious before I got implants. I was called a "health freak" (still am) because I am always making little reminder comments to my family about eating their veggies and staying away from partially hydrogenated oils and junk foods. One of my friends from Tucson, when I finally revealed what I had been through, said to me, "Patty, I don't understand one thing. Of all people, YOU GOT IMPLANTS?????? YOU???" I guess I just didn't fit the mold. But, it was all about self esteem, and wanting to look and feel good about yourself. , there is nothing wrong with that. You are still a beautiful person, and even though you have some new symptoms, have faith. I had new ones after explant too, and I kept thinking, I should be getting better now! It took me about 18 months after explant to begin feeling good. And your multiple chemical sensitivities are gone--hey! That is a great sign! A milestone for you! I love to hear from you , so keep on sharing with us. I know this dark valley can seem overwhelming, but this will pass someday. You'll be able to look back and see how far you've come. Be patient and enjoy the beauty that you can find around you each day. Love, Patty ----- Original Message ----- From: MissBoop0827@...
