Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Shari, You are so right. I tell everyone, even store clerks,I will bring it up. About six months ago I was telling a sales girl at a store about what had happened to me and she told me that a friend of hers had been so sick for over a year and she had implants. You know that she called her right there on the spot and had me talk to her. I always met a man on a blind date and I even told him. Would you believe he had a friend at work who he thought was sick because she had gained so much weight after getting implants (over 50 pounds in a year) that he asked if I would talk to her. (which I did). You never know how your illness will help someone else. We all need to spread the word. Let everyone we know and meet learn from us. We are planting seeds in the minds of the furture victims. Love Cricket > Hi again > > Another thing I wanted to point out about your explant issues.....

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 -I find that happens to me too. If I mention I got sick from the implants, it is like 'someone always knows someone' who is sick. BUT I feel like I do not mention it to enough to people. Like none of my boyfriend's friends know, or anyone new I meet. It seems like it is too hard just explaining what this illness is to people. I usually say I have a 'Lupus type condition'. Even then, half the people look at me cock-eyed. Maybe I should just start telling everyone about the implants? What do you think? On the other hand, I dont' like people knowing my personal business. Just some thoughts here. TERRY -- In , " cricket5643000 " <cricket5643000@y...> wrote: > Shari, > > You are so right. I tell everyone, even store clerks,I will bring > it up.
