crystal...post explant!!!!

Well, I am now 2 days post explant!!! My surgery went wonderful & as far as how I am feeling from the surgery...I feel great. I don't feel like I ever had surgery, except for a LIGHTER feeling in my chest!! Dr. Melmed was wonderful as well as his staff & everyone at the hospital (by the way... it was the prettiest hospital I've ever seen, it looks like a hotel!!) My breasts look great & I still have lots of breast tissue. As far as my symptoms, I still have them. I know they don't go away over night (although I thought they did the morning after surgery... I felt so good). Now I guess starts the beginning of my next journey.I know the most important part is over, i am just praying I'll heal & that not too much damage is done to my immune system.Also, I want to thank you all for your prayers, support & concern!!! Love,Crystal

I am so glad to hear that your surgery went so well! And that you

feel good after surgery. What a relief to have it over with! Now

you can concentrate on the healing. I have been behind on reading

the posts so I was too late to pray for you prior to surgery. but I

am praying for you now!! I read your posts where you said that you

were diagnosed with scleroderma. I am thankful to hear that you are

on minocin. Are you aware of these two websites? They are both

totally dedicated to the use of antibiotic protocol for autoimmune

disease especially scleroderma. There are several people who have

it who are doing wonderfully. ON the www.roadback.org site, ritchie

had terrible scleroderma and is doing wonderfully on minocin. He is

in remission 3 years now. There are also books on scleroderma and

antibiotic protocol. I have the one by Henry Scammell called

something like " what you don't know about scleroderma could save

your life " I am on the antibiotic protocol and I have many

scleroderma like symptoms. Three years ago I thought I was

developing a fullblown case of it. I was having skin changes on my

face and many other symptoms. I really feel the antibiotics helped

me immensely. The other website is www.rheumatic.org. Please join

these sites. They are every bit as informative as this one with

lots of support and ideas. I also feel that detoxifying and trying

to eliminate candida is a big help. I was found to have mycoplasma

fermantans and mycoplasma have been implicated in scleroderma. Keep

us informed of how you are doing! Blessings to you
