Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hi Fiona, And welcome, although I am sorry to welcome you to this whole world of implant hell...yes, we saline girls have had the same problems as our silicone gel sisters. The symptoms are the same, so it does seem to point to those silicone bags, doesn't it? I know the thought of explant is hard, but we come out stronger in the end for facing up to, and accepting our real bodies for what they are...beautiful, naturally. If you go to the files section, you will see that so many of us explanted girls still look breast beautiful after explant! If you use a plastic surgeon who knows what they are doing, you can have beautiful results, and you will be doing your body, your future health, and your soul an incredible favor. I liked the way you put it....major mental recalibration! That sounds about right! It was a huge step for me, as I had longed for breast implants secretly for many years. When I finally got them, I thought I was complete. So you can imagine how I felt when I became strangely ill, and then utterly confused as I realized my treasured implants may have been the culprit, even though I had been told how safe they were. Talk about major mental recalibration! My feelings toward my plastic surgeon went from high regard to utter disgust. He had lied when he told me they would go with me to my grave. I cried for days, I was just heartsick, but then I put on my strongest mental armor and vowed to do what needed to be done to get my health back, and take back control of my own future instead of being led around by those in the medical field who thought they knew the truth. I hope we can give you some encouragement, knowing that we do get better over time, with patience, detoxing, and lifestyle changes. For me, that meant totally believing that God can do what He says He can do, and I believed He would heal me. He has. You didn't mention what health issues you are dealing with, but we do list many of the symptoms in our home page paragraph. Let us know how we can help you, Fiona.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 --- Hi Fiona, and welcome! I had saline implants in four years ago, during that time I was studying for my RN degree, and I was a full time caregiver for Alzheimers patients and hospice, and a mother and a wife, always handled everything well... w/in a few months of the implants fatigue set in, I thought I was over doing everything, I was falling asleep in Biology class, it was embarassing... then widespread body pain set in, then restless legs syndrome, CFS, FM and mycos stealth infection.... I can barely catch my breath... I am now disabled I cant work or finish my degree.. my explant is scheduled for FEB 11 in Ohio w/Dr. Feng, My rheumotologist diagnosed me w/all this, I never was a sick person... I pray for a recovery after explant...Fiona, I am so sick w/pain and fatigue I think I am sometimes dying! I just need to keep my head straight and know that after they are out, I have a great chance of recovery!!!! I hope to chat w/you soon, and take care!!!!
