Re:Was: I can't stand it ! Now questions

[Guest guest]

--- Hi Fiona, Yes I only had saline implants, thats all, and I have

all the symptoms, and more and to the worse degree... Im not sure

what you mean my ITO prostesis , whats that?// I know these saline

bags on my chest are rancid and very toxic, cuz this is not me, and

one does not progress w/CFS and FM, and I am progressing rapidly and

declining in health... you will see my pics when all of this is

done,, until next week!!!!! Im so excited to get these bags out, and

get my body and life back... I use to model and exercise, I was so

fit, now my metabolic rate is that of a turtle, I am 2-3 sizes

bigger, never been this big before.... and Im just like swollen, and

stuff, I do not even eat, I feel too sick, im lucky to choke down a

protein bar and oyster crackers per day... so go figure.... It

just scares the hell out of me knowing that young girls are risking

their lives to have boobs, like I did.... This weak sick dying

feeling is sure not what young girls are prepared for... also, the

depression of losing yourself is almost unbearable... this can leave

any young lady open to wanting to hurt or kill herself.... Yes it

does get that bad, if I did not have my support here and my husband

and the Lord, I might of done something crazy, cuz of this horrible

dying feeling.. I know I will heal... praise God....... My PS did

not tell me that these were the risks, only capsulation was a risk or

infection.... YEA RIGHT!!!!!!!!! take care, everyone here will

answer any thing you need to get answered... Love and blessings, Iggy
