Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 - J I know this waiting period is hard. It is hard not to dwell on all the issues and wonder about the outcome. I guess I was lucky because I had my surgery about 2 weeks after I scheduled my first appt. Not much time to give it more thought! But like you, I already knew it was the implants no matter what anyone said, and believe me my sister and mom were somewhat discouraging. They didn't believe that the implants were causing my symptoms. But I had prayed and prayed for God to just show me what was wrong --for months---and then one day here was this article talking about saline implants and sickness and gave me the contact I needed to at last find this site. As soon as I wrote, several women wrote back all with very similar symptoms. One lady had even a very strange symptom I had where my chest felt tight like I was wrapped in saran wrap! I knew God had led me here. Just hang in there, keep believing that you are doing the right thing, and know that we all care and are supporting you in this. Post anytime about how you feel. kathy -- In , " crazycanoe1 " <crazycanoe1@d...> wrote: > > I am so tired this evening that I can't even open the dryer to get > one load of laundry out.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Dear J: so sorry you are having such a blue period. I've certainly had them. I know how hard it can be to get motivated. Its not fair that your husband won't support you. That is part of it. Some of us have not had much support from family members because drs. don't believe it and we don't have a whole lot of support out there for this unknown illness. Its ever so hard when you have to live with a negative influence. That must be ever so draining. But in time he will come around. He is affected to and it is wearing on him. But eventually he'll see you getting better and understanding your illness better and it will all just be more accepted. Is there anyone at home, family that is supportive of the fact that the implants are making you sick. Hope you'll feel a little better tomorrow. He will come around though, its not something he can ignore. I had family member too that weren't supportive but serprisingly most came around and believe the implants made me very sick. Take Care, K. > > I am so tired this evening that I can't even open the dryer to get > one load of laundry out.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 J, You may not be able to think your way to good health, but anyone can think their way to BAD health. Anxiety, stress and worry take a toll on the body as well as the mind! . . . Please make every effort to find pleasant things to think, read, watch or do . . . . When a negative thought crops up, find something positive to replace it with as quickly as possible! The time for your explant will soon be here and you will be on your way back to health. I wish there was something more we could do to help move things along faster . . . I know that, right now, it seems like an eternity. Please take extradordinarily good care of yourself in the meantime! I know you'll feel much better soon! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
