I would love to have another gathering of women, like what we had in

Idaho several years ago.

We'll make it happen someday!

I thank you for your thoughts and prayers!

I know that I am not alone... and that there ARE positives to be found in every situation. I'm having an INCREDIBLY difficult time trying to find those positives right now. I go through phases appreciating lessons learned, etc...

but that positive thinking never remains.

I tend to have flash backs of my " old life " . Days when I didn't have a care in the world, except what I was going to wear, etc. I'm only 28 years old!!!

Most of my friends still go out, travel, experience LIFE! Not me... I'm too scared I'll pass out, or that I'll have an " episode " (my name for my attacks... WHATEVER they are!)

Ahh... I do thank you ALL for your replys! It truly helps for me to speak to all of you!

I WISH that there were a day that we could ALL have a gathering... a " get together " , to meet one another in person!

Sweetie, you are not alone!

I thought the doctors knew what they were talking about when they said I was bipolar and not really sick. I was on so many anti-depressants and psycho meds that I was crazy!

I stopped all meds back in Oct. 2006 and I am finally thinking straight again. They had me believing I was crazy.

I can understand your feelings about being so unhappy although you have beautiful things in your life. I have 4 beautiful children that are my life, but at times I thought my baby girl would be better off without me because I didn't think I had anything to offer her. Sick and in bed all the time not being able to play with her was getting to me. When she started pre-K this year they said everyday how smart she was and I realized it was because we stayed in bed and read books, played games, and put puzzles together. I had given her the gift of early learning.

We don't always know what God's plans are for us, but I have to believe this illness is a part of my journey and it has a purpose for the good in the end. I have to be patient and learn what I need to learn. I will meet people along the way, such as yourself that are now apart of my journey. We are not alone, we have each other ! I will continues to pray for you and send positive healing energy your way.

I totally agree with you on this. As much as I hate that other people are suffering as I am, It means the world to me that I am not alone.

I have you wonderful ladies, and a wonderful husband. At LEAST I KNOW i'm not crazy...

However, at this point I don't feel as though it is enough. I am just so unhappy.

I have been blessed with so much, and yet I can't even enjoy myself b/c I am so sick... and then MENTALLY SICK of BEING SICK!

I just don't know what to do anymore...

I have tried every diet, detox, etc... and nothing has worked. Some have made me a " little " better... but I'm still sick.

Now I am 10 weeks pregnant, and I'm dealing with those symptoms on top of everything else. I work, and think I'm going to lose my job any minute. I'm so tired, and I feel like i'm living an anxiety attack 24/7. I'm constantly out of breath, shake ALL the time... to the point that I drop things. My blood sugar levels rise and fall with NO stability... and i'm dizzy and lightheaded. Driving is difficult, even SLEEPING is now difficult. I wake up in the middle of the night b/c my heart is pounding so bad, I'm shaking, and I have to take a sugar pill...

I'm quickly losing hope... I don't know how much longer I can take this...

I THANK GOD that you women care!

God bless you ! I have also prayed for this, heal me or take me.

When I have my explant done I pray they get every bit of scar tissue and any lumps they find as well. I want this mess out of me, all of it.

I pray you get better. I hate knowing that you feel you're life is not worth living being so sick.

Last year I was so sick of being sick I went to the hospital. I told them to keep me because if they let me go that sick I wouldn't come back - ever. They backer acted me and sent me to our local nuthouse. I had given up the fight.

Well, I'm still here and I'm still sick. I have something now that I didn't have then, women like us. Although I am still sick I am not alone. This group has been my reason for getting out of bed most days. I love my new friends and I can do almost anything with their support, this includes you. Just knowing we feel the same pain gives us a bond of caring for each other.

Shoham <resultsbyrachelgmail> wrote:

Wow! So you're not explanted yet?

I'm very curious to see how you heal. I've been explanted for a little over 1 year... at first I started feeling a little better, now I feel the same as I did WITH the darn implants, EXCEPT that I have better peace of mind!

I feel as though I have no hope... no future... EVERY SINGLE DAY I am so miserable. As bad as it sounds, I pray that God will either heal me... or TAKE me. This is not living for me.

I pray that your recovery is AMAZING! It will give me hope!!!

With love,

Hi ,I got my implants 2 months before my 19th birthday!! I was so young, I can't believe the surgeon did it for me... I suddenly came into a small inheritance and was living on my own and hastily got the implants:( My first symptom was a lymph node behind my ear that became chronically inflammed (now I have about a dozen of these). This happened in the first year...Then I began having major digestive issues which have been diagnosed as " IBS " and my thyroid levels were low. My symptoms crept up on me over the years and it took me so LONG to connect the implants. Besides the lymph nodes and digestive problems, I've had lots of the usual ones like " panic attacks " , vertigo, frequent colds and flus, allergies/sensitivites, low energy and fatigue, hypoglycemia, DRY eyes, hair loss, pallor, mouth ulcers and menstrual problems. In the first few years I actually went back to the surgeon who did my implants with worries about them and my health. Of course she told me it was all ridiculous and convinced me that they were completely fine. I think I felt " ok " enough because I was so young. I knew I got sick WAY more often than anyone else I knew and that was confusing. I went to specialists, naturopaths, chinese doctors, chiropractors and tried all kinds of treatments. Then I figured it out and I found this group. I'm on my way to getting my explant done and my health back! Katy:) Shoham <resultsbyrachelgmail > wrote:

Thanks, Katy!!! =)

I hope the same for you! I didn't know anyone on here was my age! Gosh, so good to know (not that it MATTERS! lol!)

How old were you when you got yours, and how did your symptoms begin, etc.?

I hope you continue to heal and feel better as time goes on. Katy:)

Shoham <resultsbyrachelgmail> wrote:

Laurie,

I truly understand your mentality. Before I got mine done, I had those very same thoughts and wonders...

That was about 9 years ago when I was just 19 years old. I was super healthy... was a trainer at a gym, competed in fitness competitions, (played soccer, basketball, track, and cheerleading in school) and was even FINE for the first 6 years being implanted! When I started to get sick, I had NO IDEA it was due to my implants!!! Why WOULD I??? I had had NO PROBLEMS for SIX YEARS!!! Besides, it did not SEAM linked!

I started getting very weak and tired, stomach problems, burning/tingling sensations, dizziness & lightheaded, shaking & trembling, cold sweats, blackouts, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat & racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, low blood sugar... and this went ON and ON and ON! NOTHING seemed linked to one another and Dr's thought I was CRAZY!!! WHY? B/c I LOOKED healthy! Here was this 25 year old, 105 Lb., blond female who has a LONG LIST of symptoms! Know what they told me? To see a PSYCHOLOGIST!!! Do you even KNOW how difficult that is to hear when you KNOW you're NOT crazy??!!! Of COURSE there's been no scientific link... BECAUSE they won't spend the MONEY on it!! WHY? B/c it's political. It makes a LOT of money!

I've been explanted for an entire year and have gotten a LITTLE better, but I fear that most of the damage has already been made! I'm only 28 years old, and YES! I was PERFECTLY healthy before this!

I had SALINE implants... during explantation, they removed an enlarged lymph node to be biopsied and found FREE-FLOATING silicone spread throughout my lymphatic system! That's right! I have poison floating through my body. WHY?! B/c my body was eating at the shell... in hopes to get rid of the " foreign object " !

They ALSO found strange substances inside the saline (bacteria, mold, etc.)

And THAT is healthy?

What I fear is that some of the people you know DO have problems with their implants and either 1. Don't KNOW it yet OR 2. Problems haven't started YET.

True, there are people that I know that have had them for YEARS and have had zero problems. Do you REALLY want to take that risk, all in the name of VANITY???

After having them, I think they are entirely over-rated... and I LOVE having my old chest back. FINALLY, nothing foreign in my body that can " pop " at any moment.

The only reason I am very aggressive about this subject is b/c it is the ONE and ONLY thing in my life that I TRULY regret doing! I have to live like this for the rest of my life! I try and figure out WHY I haven't been healed, or WHY I was sooo stupid to get this done. The ONLY thing that makes it seem even at ALL worth it, is to have someone else learn from MY mistake.

I do not know you. I have NO reason to nor motive to keep you from being " happy " with your breasts. I am being truthful with my story, and hope you take it to heart. Whichever way you choose to go... remember, Dr's DO have motive. It's how they earn their money. Us ladies are earning NOTHING from sharing our stories...

God Bless you!

I have been contemplating implants for at least 10 years now so this would not be a spur of the momemt decision.I have read all kinds of horror stories about autoimune disease and such but to be honest everyone (at least 20 people) I know has had implants from ranges of 1-20 years and not one of these women has had any kind of complaint whatsoever. They feel perfect as well as looking incredible. I feel very bad for the woman who have had problems but I am wondering if they would have eventually have gotten sick even if they did not receive the implants. The surgeons I spoke with told me that there is no scientific link at all between the two. (and the friends I have who are in perfect health seem to be evidence that they are correct in that statement.I am seeing a very well know surgeon next week and may just decide to bit the bullet.Thank you.Laurie

,Those 'episodes' you describe are really familiar to me too (I think MANY women here have them). I don't know what they are, but I suspect they are connected to adrenals? I have been having them for many years now. I am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time right now and dealing with all the things from pregnancy as well:( Try and nuture yourself as much as you can. I have 'positive mantras' that I repeat to myself when I feel like I'm going to lose it. They may not help me physically, but they help mentally. I will say over and over something like "I'm going to be fine, this will pass. I am strong and my body wants to heal" either in my head or out loud while I am walking or in the bath. It may sound silly, but I swear it helps me cope mentally when I am having a flare up. I read or watch The Secret when I am having a hard time and feeling hopeless.

Thanks, Katy!

I've heard so much about " The Secret " , and have yet to watch it...

Maybe that should be my next purchase (along with Allergy tests)...

Rather than purchase it, why not borrow it? I'd hate to see you

spend money on something that you don't have to, especially with

money so tight.

I have never read or seen " The Secret " and don't plan to, for my own

reasons. The following articles might help.

You can get it on ebay cheap.

Many, many Christians are using this book and

tape to help themselves. It is basically a very

spiritual tape. I have heard some of the

arguments against it, and personally do not think

they hold any real logic. The people on the tape

are very religious and spiritual. I personally

found it very uplifting and Christian oriented.

YOu can also borrow " The Power of Positive Thinking " by Norman

Peale, which has a similar but more scriptural basis.

,

I can't recall but I thought you posted earlier and said you were

taking meds before you got pregnant? Or am I thinking of somebody

else?

I am sure your body is adjusting to pregnancy right now and it must

be difficult. I have never been pregnant but I know it messes with

your hormones big time. When hormones are out of whack, you are

going to feel like crap.

I am so sorry you are feeling well. Hopefully after you get past the

first trimester or so, you'll feel better?

I would give ANYTHING to get pregnant!! We have tried for over 4

years. I will be 35. I know I am still sick but I still want a

baby. Is this your first?

I was also diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. They had me

on klonopin, celexa and remeron to combat my blues and anxiety. All

along it was the implants. Makes me so dang angry. Nobody would

believe me, I knew there was something wrong but they chalked it up

to me be a mental case. I am trying to wean myself off of the

remeron.

I agree . Wouldn't it be nice to all meet and chat.

Also, this board helped my anxiety the most. It is like therapy but

much much better because I have gained so many new friends. But

whenever I felt anxious, I logged on and it calmed me down.

I had a blues day last Friday though. I was doing so well and then

bam - down and out. I describe my sickness like a rollar coaster.

One day I am feeling great and then back down in the dumps. Good

part is that my bad days are getting further and futher apart.

Hi Lynn!

I was taking meds for a total of 2 weeks, about 1 year ago. It was a prescription for yeast.

I WAS, however, taking primal defense, etc.

Yes, this is my first pregnancy... and I was NOT trying. My husband and I got pregnant on our HONEYMOON!!!! About 2 YEARS sooner than expected!

I was SHOCKED 1. because I am considered underweight 2. because I am soooo freaking sick AND 3. because I've never been pregnant before when I VERY WELL could have/should have been!

Soooo... I'm guessing this was definitely GOD'S timing! (at least that's what I'd like to think).... It most certainly wasn't MY timing... although I'm learning to be happy with it. I LOVE children, I just wanted to be healthy first.

I just pray that he/she is completely healthy! My first ultrasound is July 26th! Can't WAIT to make sure everything looks normal!

Lynn, I'd like to go crazy on all of these doctors that think just because they can't GUESS what's wrong with us, they should diagnose us as being crazy. I'd like to put them on a bunch of s*** just for GUESSING what was wrong with us in the first place, now that's crazy !!! spinkscl <spinkscl@...> wrote: ,I was also diagnosed with major depression and anxiety.

Ahh... I do thank you ALL for your replys! It truly helps for me to speak to all of you!

not alone! I thought the doctors knew what they were talking about when they said I was bipolar and not really sick. I was on so many anti-depressants and psycho meds that I was crazy! I stopped all meds back in Oct. 2006 and I am finally thinking straight again. They had me believing I was crazy. I can understand your feelings about being so unhappy although you have beautiful things in your life. I have 4 beautiful children that are my life, but at times I thought my baby girl would be better off without me because I didn't think I had anything to offer her. Sick and in bed all the time not being able to play with her was getting to me. When she started pre-K this year they said everyday how smart she was and I realized it was because we stayed in bed and read books, played games, and put puzzles together. I had given her the gift of early learning. We don't always know what God's

plans are for us, but I have to believe this illness is a part of my journey and it has a purpose for the good in the end. I have to be patient and learn what I need to learn. I will meet people along the way, such as yourself that are now apart of my journey. We are not alone, we have each other ! I will continues to pray for you and send positive healing energy your way.

I have you wonderful ladies, and a wonderful husband. At LEAST I KNOW i'm not

crazy... However, at this point I don't feel as though it is enough. I am just so unhappy. I have been blessed with so much, and yet I can't even enjoy myself b/c I am so sick... and then MENTALLY SICK of BEING SICK! I just don't know what to do anymore... I have tried every diet, detox, etc... and nothing has worked. Some have made me a "little" better... but I'm still sick. Now I am 10 weeks pregnant, and I'm dealing with those symptoms on top of everything else. I work, and think I'm going to lose my job any minute. I'm so tired, and I feel like i'm living an anxiety attack 24/7. I'm constantly out of breath, shake ALL the time... to the point that I drop things. My blood sugar levels rise and fall with NO stability... and i'm dizzy and lightheaded. Driving is difficult, even SLEEPING is now difficult. I wake up in the middle of the night b/c my heart is

pounding so bad, I'm shaking, and I have to take a sugar pill... I'm quickly losing hope... I don't know how much longer I can take this... I THANK GOD that you women care! - On 7/9/07, cynthia pyne <pynerone@... > wrote: . God bless you ! I have also prayed for this, heal me or take me. When I have my explant done I pray they get every bit of scar tissue and any lumps they find as well. I want this mess out of me, all of it. I pray you get

better. I hate knowing that you feel you're life is not worth living being so sick. Last year I was so sick of being sick I went to the hospital. I told them to keep me because if they let me go that sick I wouldn't come back - ever. They backer acted me and sent me to our local nuthouse. I had given up the fight. Well, I'm still here and I'm still sick. I have something now that I didn't have then, women like us. Although I am still sick I am not alone. This group has been my reason for getting out of bed most days. I love my new friends and I can do almost anything with their support, this includes you.

Hi Lynn!

Today was a little better... I felt less anxious at work.

I've also cut out my cheese... I'm going to find calcium from other sources than dairy (b/4 I was pregnant I NEVER ate cheese).

I TRY to remember that God will never give me more than I can handle... it's just that I've felt that way my whole LIFE! It seems as though there's ALWAYS been SOME sort of struggle in my life. I just want it to END. I just need a freaking BREAK already. The worst struggle of all is this health issue though. You ladies gave me hope... so I will continue to believe that I will heal (with God's help)... even if it DOES take four years!

Yes, we will most DEFINITELY find out the sex of the baby! =)
