Hi,

I will apologize in advance for this post being very long.Please be

patient with me as I am barely computer literate and have come to

this site feeling desperate.I am 29 years old and have had saline

implants for the past 7 years.Before the implants I was definately

overly active.Almost immediately after recieving the implants I

began to feel really tired all the time.I am not the type of person

to see a doctor frequently, in fact I do not even have a family

doctor.Immediatly after surgery I experienced numbness in my arms

and hands that has continued to come and go.My right breast began to

noticably harden about 6 months after getting implants.As time went

on I also started have sharp chest and rib pain.Muscles on my entire

upper left side feel tight.If I lift or move the wrong way I am

often left with debilatating neck and back pain that has lasted for

as long as a week leaving me bed ridden.My joints are incrediably

sore and stiff.My muscles are weak.I have swollen lymph nodes in my

neck and underarms.My memory is terrible and quite often I can not

remember what has happened the day before.One implant is noticably

higher than the other and seems to continue to climb upwards.I pick

up every cold and flu that comes around.Even after hours of

ininterupted sleep, I am never refreshed.I also have frequent head

aches.I was never sick before the implants.I have for a long time

attributed my poor health to the implants but have been too

embarassed to see a doctor.I have decided now to do so as I am

frequently too tired to function.I am also terrified of having

another attack that leaves me stuck in bed crying in pain.My

questions are as follows;

1.Is removal covered in Ontario, Canada?Also is any reconstructive

surgery to remove excess skin ect covered?

2.Is there information I can print out to show my doctor linking my

symptoms to the implants?

3.My implants are above muscle 375cc, will I be deformed after

removal?

4. What have your personal experiences been after having implants

removed?Has your health returned to normal?

5.What is the recovery time needed?

6.Is there a site where I can view realistic pictures of explants

without replacement?

7.Are there things I can do now to help my body prepare for surgery?

8.Are there things I can do now to feel better before the implants

are removed?

Thank you all in advance.
