Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Amen Lynda I agree and would never file a claim unless absolutely necessary which really bites as we pay sooooo much for heath home and auto.... I was recently denied for life insurance which of course is not unusual for implant victims but my hubby's company went w/ a new insurance co and I applied for more life... They called me two weeks ago w/ very weird questions. I understand most of them but they asked me if I had ever attempted suicide which floored me. Everyone knows that any life ins co has very strict rules of not paying out if it is a suicide - it is spelled out very clearly so the fact that they would ask that is weird. Of course I said "NO" which was the truth but I guess they asked as I have taken antidepressants for the last few years for depression as well as pain, etc. I have stopped taking them about a month ago but they sent a letter later regretting that they were denying my coverage. It is sad.... 34 year old mom of a 4 year old with a hubby, etc., getting better and better and I can't even pay to get life ins in case something bad happens to me to insure my son and hubby don't have to sell our home and he can be raised in a decent community. It actually made me cry. As so many silicone sisters know I guess I am screwed for life from having had implants even though they are gone and supposedly "completely safe" according to the FDA. Sorry but that makes me even more pissed than ever. I actually wrote that to the command trust network on one of my "many" emails to them and copied my local state reps. If they are safe and not bad for you why can I not get health ins at 34? I do not smoke or use drugs - I am a house mom from a decent family. My hubby and I want a baby more than anything but I am scared to do that too, due to those toxic life ruiners that affected my little one... Pretty soon I will be too old then regretting it even more. It is very sad and confusing trying to make that decision hoping to spin the wheel.... Sorry - had to vent there. didn't mean to use the language but it is how I feel now. love shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Well, another strike against insurance companies. Have to have them, but don't have to love them.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Shari, You don't need to apologize for airing your very valid feelings about all of this. That is what a support group is for. We have all suffered in many different ways, and this is just one more way that implants have ruined our lives. It affects not only our health, but our relationships, our financial security, our earning potential, our insurability, our children, and on and on it goes. It's a nightmare, it is like a cancer that invades everything in our life and taints everything that we do. Is there anything that implants don't touch in our lives, once we've made the mistake of getting them and gotten sick? I pray that you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and that your healing will someday soon begin to go forward in leaps and bounds. Mine took off after the 4th year. Hopefully in the next few years you will be able to finally put most of this mess behind you and not look back except to be a source of hope for other women just getting on this merry-go-round from hell. Implants destroy lives. It's just the plain and ugly truth. Your feelings are valid, so don't ever apologize for them! Stay hopeful....you have much to look forward to in your future!
