thinking aloud

[Guest guest]

Do you ever wonder what would happen if you took a perfectly healthy

person and put them inside your body for 24 hours? I've often wondered

what the reaction would be. I sometimes think that because I have been

ill for so long that I have gotten used to it. I mean, I live with so

much pain, chronic diarrhea, chronic gastritis, and so many other

issues... I wonder what my body would feel like to a normal person. I

am dreaming that after explantation I will get to discover myself

again. My mom used to refer to me as hyper before I became ill. I used

to work 3 jobs and go to school full time. Since first becoming ill I

have not ever held down one full time job. I wonder what 10 years of

lost wages equals...

Sorry, I took your post the wrong way at first... If

you were to put a totally healthy person inside your

body, your body would most certainly reject it.. made

me laugh until I realized that was not what you meant.

Ten years lost... seems like alot, it is I guess,

considering that I feel blessed to have only lost

three years of my life and I think three years is ALOT

to lose. BUT, I just had those poison bags taken out

one week ago and I feel it, I have a new lease on

life. You will too. I am completely overwhelmed with

gratitude for having the courage to take the leap and

get them out and for the ability to see in plain view

what my life was and what it can now be.

Getting those implants out is one of the best things I

could have ever done for myself. It will be for you

too.

Hugs,

Dawn

that was very much me, before implants I was healthy & young, 24, I

got salines & 2wks later starting having dizzy spells, panic attacks,

burning zaps thruout my body, fatigue etc etc I could go on forever

with my symptoms, but I had them removed 6 months later & now 7

months

post explant I'm almost back to 100% healthwise. It was a 6 month

nightmare.

ktitko, I used to focus on all that I had lost with these horrid

diseased implants. Be encouraged. Think positive; instead of what you

have lost, and we've all lost some time and goals and dreams and

health, think of what you have gained. You are one of the fortunate

ones, one of the few women in America who have found the gold mine - a

group of women who've experienced the same or similar losses and know

solutions. Now I am focused on the present and future; I respect the

past and my illness, but I refuse to let it dominate my thinking. I'm

explanted now, less than one month, and the miracle is beginning for

me. I know it will begin for you too! Jackie
