RE:TO LYNDA, SHARI, PATTY OR ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO LISTEN

[Guest guest]

MY IMPLANTS ARE IN AND HAVE BEEN SINCE MARCH OF 2000-I JUST NOW PROBABLY A MONTH AGO FOUND ALL OF THIS STUFF ON THE INTERNET. UP UNTIL THEN, IT WAS JUST A HUNCH. AN EVER PRESENT THOUGHT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND AND ALSO A VERBALIZED THOUGHT AT EVERY DRS. APPT. I HAVE INJESTED SO MUCH INFO. OVER THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS THAT I AM PRETTY OVERWHELMED AND CONFUSED AS TO WHICH WAY TO GO. I AM SO AFRAID THAT IF I WAIT TOO LONG THAT I WILL GET EVEN SICKER, BUT I WANT TO PERSUE MY SUSPICIONS IN A CAUTIOUS MANNER- I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH DRS. THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OR CHOOSE NOT TO LISTEN, SO I WANT TO MAKE WISE, PRAYERFUL DECISIONS. I REALLY SCARED OF BEING SICK AND I REALLY SCARED OF HAVING MY IMPLANTS OUT AND STILL BEING SICK.

LYNDA, SORRY I GOT DISTRACTED-MY ZIP IS 42431-THANKS.

SHARI-MY PRIMARY PROBLEM AT THIS POINT IS AN AUTOIMMUNE SKIN DISORDER SO I AM NOT SURE IF DR. VASEY WOULD BE HELPFUL, DO YOU OR DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER DRS. TO SUGGEST?

TO ALL WHO HAVE WRITTEN ME IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS-I WANT TO TRY AND EXPRESS TO YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING, ADVICE, AND SUPPORT. MY FRIENDS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, NOT EVEN MY HUSBAND. THEY EXPECT IT TO JUST GO AWAY OR THEY THINK I'M A CHRONIC COMPLAINER SO I'M GLAD YOU ARE HERE FOR ME! BLESSINGS, LISALynda <coss@...> wrote:
