Re: My story/to

[Guest guest]

Hello there , and welcome to the group. We are all here

for you to help you through this. SO, you have not found an explant

Dr. yet?? Maybe someone here can reccommend a good Dr. from

experience for you. Being scared in natural, and fearing the

unknown. From my own experience I have improved ALOT after explant,

although it took me a few years and lots of detoxing and alternative

methods to get to where I am today. I was an extreme case, bedridden

for 1 yr and a half. I have come a long way. I am doing things I

never dreamed of doing, although I am not totally well. Don't give

up hope, some woman here are almost 100% better, and most have

improved after explant. Welcome and I hope I can help you in any

way. Hang in there! Peace, hugs and health! TERRY/dimonds

Hey there , it is not all in your head. I think most of us

here have had that problem with doctors, loved ones ect, saying it

is 'all in our heads', or it is not our implants. Most,Dr.s will

tell you it is NOT your implants. But on this board we know the

truth. I did not get too much help from the medical field(just used

them for blood work), but turned to detoxing my body,researching,

and using alternative stuff. It took me few years, but I have a

life now(although I am not 100% well), and you CAN get better too! I

thought I would never make it this far. This is why I come to this

group, to give woman like yourself some inspiration that things can

get better!! You are not alone. Do your research on what Dr. you

would like to choose. Look at alot of explant pictures, and then

decide what is best for you. Go to a surgeon who removes

them 'enbloc'. Which means that they remove the scar tissue that has

formed around the implant. Try not to stress yourself out too much(I

know it is easier said than done). You need to get rid of any Dr.s

or psych. who think you are nuts. Find new ones! Anyway, hang in

there. Hugs. TERRY Dimonds6881@...
