New To All of This... But In serious need of HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I am posting here with a prayer that maybe the right person reads

this!

I bought myself Saline Mghan Textured implants for my 30th Birthday

in 2000. They changed my life and the way I felt about my body in a

dramatic, fantastic way.

Today things are different. As I look back, the problems started

shortly after getting the implants, and have peaked as of now. I am

no doubt disabled, but unable to file for benefits since the Drs I've

seen are all still unable to agree with a Diagnosis now. One says

Fibromyalgia..the other Systemic Lupus..Now I learn about all of

this, too. I don't know whether or not to even mention my implants

now for fear of losing my health coverage!

I've live with all of the following: Migraines, Severe joint pain and

swelling, (MRI's showed I have bursitis, arthritis, and degenerative

disk disease.)

I have extreme fatigue no matter how much I'm able to rest. The less

I rest, the worse my pain becomes. The pain is so unbearable

sometimes, yet no-one seems to understand or is able to help.

My hair has fallen out in clumps, and then grown back very fine. My

hair thickened and my pain and inflammation has only responded to

prednisone.

My fingers and toes are numb, and my legs and feet also become numb

often. My ankles swell periodically and look like they are sprained.

(However, My rheumatologist ruled out Rhematoid arthritis)

I get sores in my mouth, and have even gotten sores in my nasal

passage. I try not to complain, but it is near impossible at times.

Some days it is a struggle just to do the simplest things.

I hate the idea of removing my implants, but if I knew it would end

some of my suffering I'd do it in a heartbeat. It just seems to me

that most people do not improve after having them removed, plus they

also have severe psychological issues over it.

I am just praying for some answers...at least a diagnosis if not to

get better.

Thank you all,

in Arizona

I'd suggest getting those implants out ASAP! . . .

Believe it or not, things can get worse. If you still

have job and insurance, you are well ahead of many

women.

Chances are, fibromyalgia is why you hurt worse after

not moving about . . . You must keep moving,

stretching, regardless of how badly it hurts. The

alternative is to hurt much worse. However, do not

overdo it. Stretch gently . . . exercise moderately. .

.. even if it's just a few minutes at a time.

Most women who have had implants also have a systemic

fungal/Candida problem . . . Learn everything you can

about it . . . Suggested reading " The Yeast

Connection " . There are supplements that help, but diet

is critical. NO sugar, refined grains, processed

foods.

You will need to find a doctor who will remove your

implants properly. Most will take the easy way out

while telling you that removing your implants won't

help. . . They need to be removed " en bloc " . . . We

have a list of doctors who know how to remove them

properly. . . But that doesn't mean there aren't

others!

If you have any questions, you'll find this group well

informed and very supportive. We really want to help

you get well!

Hugs and prayers,

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. You are one of so

many women, myself included, who thought they were doing something

good for themselves---and were deceived by doctors telling us how

harmless implants really are. Your symptoms are so common among

implanted women.

YOu definitely have reason to hope. You are wrong in your statement

about most women not getting better after explant. As a matter of

fact, most women get majorly better after explanting and detoxing.

Some women get completely well. Even those who don't are very glad

to have their lives back. If you read the archives, you will see

the vast majority of women improve. And the overwhelming majority

of women are not psychologically distressed. In fact, many women

here are very happy with their perky smaller breasts which feel soft

and normal. Even those who have had to deal with small or flat

breasts again seldom regret having the implants out. I AM ONE OF

THEM!! I was the most flat person I have ever known. And believe

me, I have seen alot of other women to compare with. But I am so

happy to have my implants out and be well again!! I don't care so

much that my breasts are flat again--I am filled with gratitude for

life! Like you, I had many symptoms. I thought I was dying. I was

diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease with lupus and

scleroderma symptoms. I also had fms. I had joint pain, rashes,

tight skin, dry skin, numbness, tingling, severe hand and arm pain,

altered sensation in my fingertips, raynauds, tight tendons

everywhere, severe persistent dizziness and brain fog, heart

palpatations and high heart rate, extreme fatigue, eye flashes, dry

eyes, severe constipation, stomach pain, nausea, weight loss, and

the list goes on and on. Within 2 weeks of explant my heart rate

dropped to normal and the weird brain dysfunction left. I have

tried many things to detox, get rid of candida, and mycoplasma which

I tested positive for. Most of my symptoms are gone. Those that

are left are manageable and I am still working on them as I know

that I will get completely well. Before explant, I couldn't go

shopping or even sit through a movie, today I walk 4 miles with no

problem, shop the whole day, etc. If you want your life back, you

will have to get the implants out. And you will probably have to

detox, take supplements, cleanses and change your nutrition. But

life is not worth living when you are in pain all the time. Do not

let anyone convince you that it won't matter if you get your

implants out. The vast majority will tell you that it does!

Hugs, kathy

Statistics have shown that most women DO improve after explant.

Hi Kathy,

What is mycoplasma?

Oh ,

Your letter whisks me back in time to the days when I had those

coveted implants in my chest. Yes, they also changed my life in a

dramatic, fantastic way too. Hmmm, I'd forgotten the euphoria I had

felt when I was finally able to fill out a " D " bra. It seems eons

ago now. I got sick so fast, it seems a blur, those few months that

I was still a healthy, vibrantly strong woman with implants.

So, now you are at that horrible place that I found myself so

suddenly. Sicker than sick, unable to enjoy life anymore, wondering

what on God's green earth was going on with my body, why nobody knew

what was happening, why I couldn't' function anymore, why I could

not feel rested, how I was going to take care of my family, and on

and on the questions in my mind loomed. It was a nightmare.

I am so sorry you are at that place. Let me give you some hope. I

think we have some answers for you. Maybe not a diagnosis of

disease, but we can at least get at the root of your problem, which

is toxicity from the implants, and once you take care of that, your

chances for healing are much better.

So, there is a good chance that you can get better. So many of us

have done so.

Are you still on prednisone?

The bad news is that you are going to have to do some leg work and

looking outside the box of traditional medicine to find a path of

healing.

The good news is that with some effort, education and a little bit

of spiritual strength and resolve, you may be able to slowly climb

out of this pit. Prayer and faith help tremendously, but good old

fashioned common sense in using natural healing methods are

invaluable.

I hope this helps you. Yes, you have to remove the implants. None

of us really wanted to have to do that either. Psychologically we

all deal with it in our own way, but it really helps if you can view

yourself the way God sees you. He made you. He loves you just the

way you are. He adores you in fact.

Breasts do not make us who we are, but even so, I realize that we

all stress about how we look. It's part of our human nature. There

are excellent plastic surgeons out there who can do a skillful job

at removing implants and leave you looking fantastic. So, you

really don't have anything to fear about explant, especially if you

learn to appreciate your body for the wonderful incredible thing it

is.

Please continue to share your concerns, and we will be here to help

you however we can!

Hugs,

Patty
