Oh Iggy,

I know what you are feeling. I felt like that before my explant too, just very poisoned and so sick, I didn't know if I was going to make it or not. It is the worst nightmare of our lives, so I hope you can know that so many of us have gone through exactly what you are, and that you are not alone at all. I can understand your doubts, too, with all the crap that goes on in the medical field regarding implants. For me, I know it was the implants for sure, there is no doubt about it in my mind, and any doctor who tries to tell me otherwise gets a mouthful of blistering words from me, I am that positive. Otherwise, how could I have gotten sick so fast, (relatively speaking, it was 8 months, and that is fast in the implant world), and gotten better afterwards....for sure it took a long time, but look where I am...I live a totally normal life again, finally! Look at Rogene, living again, finally! And , the best she's ever been, after being so sick from implants she thought she was dying. And so many others....just hang in there girl, I know it is so tough, and even after explant life is still tough. This thing just takes time...healing will come...hang on to your hope that you are going to get better girl. You have to believe that, because without that hope, you will shrivel up. Take this to God and lay it before Him, He knows what you need even before you ask Him, and trust Him to provide for you what you need for the day. There were times that I thought my healing was taking too long, and that I wasn't making any progress, but I was. It was just such small steps I didn't realize I was moving forward.

Maybe your body will breathe such a sigh of relief when those things are gone that you will feel alot better right away...it may or may not happen, but just know, just KNOW that you are doing the very best thing possible for yourself by getting these things out, and that healing will begin on that day. It is a journey, but a road you must travel to get better.

Do you trust your doctor? Can you ask for your surgery to be rescheduled if there is a cancellation that is sooner? He/she must be good if it takes that long to get in....is it Feng?

I'll be saying prayers for you...God bless you Iggy.

Hi, Iggy...I have to tell you that I had doubts before my explant too. I was in so much pain and fatigued and I was so scared that I would go through the surgery and not get better....but since my surgery, the incredible pain in my hips, knees and ankles is completely gone. I still have a little ache in my shoulder if I do too much, but other than that, the pain is GONE. I lived with it for over 3 years and now it's just gone.

I had horrible cognitive problems. I couldn't drive because I'd forget where I was going and get lost (this happened twice before my family took my keys from me). My mind is so much clearer now and I've been doing things I couldn't do before like read and, yes, drive!

You will get your life back. Don't listen to doctors who make you second guess your decision to explant. I encountered a couple doctors who actually laughed at me when I told them what I thought (what I KNEW) was wrong with me. You know your body better than any doctor.

I will pray for you. Try to rest...if you ever need reassurance that you are doing the right thing, feel free to email me.

Love, Colleen

Iggy I have told you my story before, about how ill I was from my

implants. I live a normal life now, including working full time,

having a family, shcool part time, working out almost everyday,

things got better for me, there is no reason to believe it can't get

better for you, it may take time, it took me time, but you will get

there. If I had listened to every ignorant Dr who told me it was not

my implants I am sure I would still have the implants and be on ten

thousands drugs and sicker than hell and basically dying. I do not

know why this does not happen to everyone, but it happened to me, and

your symptoms are so common and so much like all of ours that it is

unlikely it can be anything else. there is always a chance but even

if you do have something else, the implants still need to go, they

will be a burden on your system all the time till they are out,

either way you are doing the right thing just make sure you go to a

good surgeon, this is almost more important than explant itself. Who

is your surgeon by the way?

love
