Hey girl,

Always is good to hear from you. I remember when we first met, and

were both so ill, I had just been explanted, and was so sick and

upset and having such a hard time adjusting to being flat again. You

were always there for me, and we would talk on the phone or chat for

hours on AOL and it helped me so much. Your a total inspiration, I

wish you could get on here more, but then again I am not on here much

lately either. I am so happy to hear that your symptoms are going

away and that your able to live a normal life again YIPPY is all I

can say. WOW taking a computer class too right on girl! I am also in

school, it is tough, and fun, mostly tough ha ha but something I

could not have even thought about doing a few years ago, now I am

doing it! We both are LIVING PROOF that things can and do get better.

We both are survivors and we know that implants did this to us, there

is NO DOUBT in my mind, and it is a shame that so many more young

women will be going through this because the DR's out there are too

greedy to admit what is really going on. THEY HAVE TO KNOW, we are

not the only women who go to them with these crazy symptoms, I am

sure they know, they just don't want admit it. It is insane that

people who take an oath to do no harm, can lie and abuse us and deny

us! Any way, i try not to be too angry but sometimes it can really

get to me.

You have to tell me, because you did not mention it in your post, how

is your hair loss situation doing? I know that was a big time issue

for you, so I am curious how that is going right now. My hair is

still thinner than I would like, but it is no longer falling out

much. I wonder if it will ever be thick like it used to be? I mean NO

ONE could tell by looking at it, that it is thinner than it was, it

looks nice, like a nice head of hair, but it is thinner to me. SO I

am wondering if yours has stopped falling? I wonder how long after it

stops shedding that it starts growing back in. I guess i will find

out.

Anyhow girl, so good to hear from you. Please try to keep in touch,

your missed!

hugs

Dimonds,

You are such a sweetheart, and I am so glad to hear from you! I am just ecstatic over your improvement!

You are a great testimony to the fact that women can get better after getting implants removed, even though you were one of the sickest women, being bedridden for two years. I know your testimony to getting better is a great encouragement for all the women here now hoping to feel better in the months to come.

Thanks so much for posting....it is so good to hear from you! Stay in good touch!

Love,

Patty

Hey all. I come here and read the posts once and a while. For those who do not know me, I was sickened by SMOOTH salines 14 months after implantation.Implanted in 1998 and sick in 99. Two days before Christmas 2000 I collapsed adn was completly bedridden for almost 2 years. I could not shower at times for 10 days. I could not walk down the stairs, I was suicidal.I LOST everything I had, including my life finances and health. It will be 3 years explant this month. Although I am NOT completley well, I am NO LONGER bedridden. I can drive, clean, shop, and am now self sefficint. I can think again! I am taking a computer class at the moment !!! In the begginning I had over 35 some odd symptoms and are down to like 5 or 6 that fluctuate. I remember I had brain fog so bad, I could not balance a check book, add numbers and would get lost 2 blocks from my house. Also I had MCS(Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) so bad I was completly house bound(room bound) for 6 months. I have come a long long way To all of you who are where I was....give it TIME. IT was the key for me. I do some alternatives now, but did a dextox for 8 months in in the beginning.Hang in the all...you can improve and some do get better. I am an extreme case and have come so so far ! I am making a life for myself. I have learned so much, and wish I found these women BEFORE implants, but I cannot change back time. Good luck to you all. It may be a long road, but you can get there!Here are my symptoms that are gone Multiple chemical sensitiivites/allergic to everything!!!this stopped as soon as I got implants out dry eyes and mouth Color changes/ a white wall would be pink/yellow.ect Nausua sore throat like strep/had this 2 years non STOP! diahrrea-6-7 times a day(I was down to 102 lbs...I am 5' anxiety/ severe panic attack severe racing heart beat HORRIBLE BRAIN FOG..comes and goes slightly now painful feet/couldn't wear anything but sneakers could not go outside at all because of the heat or cold!
