Still Suffering

[Guest guest]

I hope more people will post here with some different ideas and

insights. I still have my saline implants, and though the last year

of

my life has been filled with much suffering, unexplained and bizarre

symptoms no one can explain, I still have not yet gotten up the

stregnth to go get them taken out. I know it may sound stupid, or

whatever, but I struggle with this daily. It seems I will have a good

day or two and think the nightare is ending only to have the feelings

of sickness return. No one really seems to believe me, because they

think that they are safe. People have told me it is in my head!

People

have told me it is a coincidence, that I was probably going to get

sick anyway, if this were true however why can't they (dr's)figure

out

what the hell is wrong with me! It is so frustrating, life is so

hard,

everything I do I must push myself to do. But the stories of other

women with the same or similiar problems aren't what I consider very

encouraging. I mean they still have so many problems, it seems to me

maybe they were also going to get whatever they got anyway. This is

my

stumbling block, but inside I know it must have been the implants

that

started all this. Will it go away now? that is my question.

Hi ,

I know you have heard me say this before, but there are people who have

gotten better and gone on to lead fairly normal lives after this nightmare.

I know several, (and hope they join this list!) but it seems that after this

kind of experience, most of the women want to just get on with their lives

and forget about this forever.

We know it is not a fun ride.

I think we will still struggle with certain health issues, because let's

face it, we have allowed a foreign object into our body, and it is fighting

it. The chemicals or whatever is in the implant shell may have leached out

products that are eternally detrimental to certain enzyme functions in our

body. For instance, we know that the manufacturer's are using platinum in

the shell, right? Heavy metals can cause very detrimental effects to the

enzyme systems in the body! This is well known from mercury poisoning, and

I can post some references if it would help. Those enzyme systems may be

forever altered. We don't know. There hasn't been enough research into

this issue from the implant standpoint, and I seriously doubt if it will

ever be done. (Not if the manufacturer's can help it!) Some people

recover from mercury poisoning, BUT not completely. Some effects may be

forever, but there is an improvement that is unquestionable, and well worth

the effort.

I know how hard it is to not know if you will recover, and try to make a

decision to give up the implants. For me, it was the very hardest decision I

have ever had to make in my life. No question there.

But it was also no contest for me to answer which was more important to me:

the chance to regain my health, or to keep the implants and continue to

suffer. It took me about one day to make up my mind. I cried, and cried,

and cried, but I took each step one at a time (with a kind of fast walk,

too!)

I know I wouldn't be where I am today if I had not gotten out the implants.

I may not be totally better, but I can certainly feel good about functioning

again.

Will you get better? No one can say for sure. One thing we do know for

sure--it will take time, and you'll have a much better chance at getting

better without the implants in you.

God bless, !

Hi, : I was very lucky to found this support 2 months ago, and

I got my implants out en bloc way on 8/15/05. Why I felt lucky?

because I am Chinese, and it's hard for me to read all these messages

and understand them right away. Anyways, I was like you suffering

with a lot different symptoms. However, as soon as I found out these

saline implants might be the resason cost my illnesses, I found a

doctor from RECOMMENDED SURGEON'S LIST on this support's group and

had them removed within one month. I know it might takes a lot of

courage ( I was worry about my image )and money ( $ 3,800.00 for

removal on my case no lift, Dr. Li said my original breasts were very

flat - cup A )to have them remove, but choice between a pair of big

breasts or a health body, then I knew my health is way more important

than anything else. I feel much better right now, even though my

chest is flat again and with 3 " incisions under my breasts side by

side(still recovering from the surgery, and my implants were big

300cc Mcghan), but my headache is gone and no more night sweats. I

contacted with Rogene S. and research on internet before I had made

my final decision - Rogene S. posted a lot messages in here, she

emailed a lot of information and helped me through with my surgery. (

THANK YOU) An old saying " what goes in must come out " Good luck.

Please just get them out. Believe me you will be better off in the

long run. It is your health. I was so worried about all of this

before I had mine removed this summer. I was worried that my breast

would look small and saggy. But I could not justify keeping them if

there was any chance that they were making me sick or could even

triggor it to get worse as mold grew inside them. It was a hard

lesson for me to swollow having to pay 3 times as much to remove them

as it was to get them, but it was worth it. You will gain your peace

of mind. People will still tell you it was in your head, but you know

what let them think what they want.

Good luck and keep strong!
