The very first time I ever got really sick after having implants was on the

fourth of July. The sulfa, smoke, that comes off the fire works is deadly

toxic. Because our immune systems are so busy fighting the silicone in our

bodies they don't have the strenght to fight off all the toxicins that are

breathed in on a day like the fourth. I have been on the ground three years

in a row on the fourth of JULY and this year I am stying home and inside the

house no matter what. Funny isn't it that one of the biggest things that the

effects of the implants has had on my life is it has taken away my

independence. When your as sick as I've, or we've been you become more and

more dependant all the time. Lana

,

I'm so sorry you had a problem . . . I suspect it was

as much stress as anything else. . .

Since having implants, I find it stressful to be in a

crowd, with all the smells and noise . . . To add your

situation on top of that would make me panic too!

I hope you're feeling better now!

Love,

Rogene

I think we women definitely try to do too much. If it was a man, he would still be lying in bed crying for a drink and the remote!

Wow, that had to be awful. Ithink I would have felt the same way.

But its over, and I am sure that you are right--the events of the

day were the cause. Unfortunately, though that time of the month

will bring out flare symptoms in anyone who has been sick with

autoimmune type illness. Even those without will get weird symptoms

sometimes. Our entire body is affected by hormonal shifts. Hope

you are feeling good again by now. Happy 4th of July everybody!!!

Hugs, kathy
