Dear Patty,

Thank you as always for your kind words. It is always wonderful to

re-connect.

I am not doing well. I hurt my back moving furniture in April and have

been dealing

with alot of pain as well as the usual symptoms. I was unaable to climb

stairs and then unable to walk.

We did a MRI and found that I had a bulging disk. It suddenly got worse

about 6 weeks ago

and I have been in bed on ice and pain pills ever since. I have had 2

epidurals .

Sometimes the pain is sooo unbearable I can bearly take it anymore.

I feel like such a burden to everyone in my life.

Between the pain and major pain medication I am very depressed.

So...I find it difficult to write. Sometimes I just delete all messages

because it's too much to read and respond.

I hate feeling this way...but its the truth.

I am so glad you and others are doing so well . I send good wishes and

a hug to those that continue to stuggle.

I wish you all could come out here to Hawaii. It's always nice to know

I'm not alone.

Thank You to all of you that share your stories of the good the bad and

the ugly.

Happy Holidays to you all.... Love, Holly

Holly,

What a joy it is to hear from you! Thank you for painting these touching images for us of your precious relationship with your dog! It makes me want to have one to cuddle too! There is nothing like the pure love of a precious pet.

I hope that you have seen some great improvements since doing your detox therapy. I know sometimes it seems terribly slow...but maybe my experience can let you know that you can have hope...I didn't start feeling really good until several years after explant. I can't remember how long it has been for you, but I am thinking less than a year since total capsulectomy, so be sure to not lose hope that things are still getting better and better for you.

Thanks so much for your touching post. I've wanted to hear from you about your Gerson experience, so each time you write, I am delighted.

Happy Holidays to you, Holly. You are a precious one, and I pray you feel blessed in many ways.

Hugs,

Patty

We are all so blessed to have our animal friends, so.....

I have to put my 2 cents in here and tell you all about my

precious

golden retriever Nikky.

In March, I went to the Big Island for 2 weeks for Gerson Therapy,

a

wonderful way to detox

from all the breast implant toxicity and to get ready for

explantation.

I was lucky enough to be allowed to bring Nikki with me. Although

she

was not allowed inside, she

sat my the door each night. I often slept on a bamboo mat with her.

Twice per day, as part of the therapy, I had to take an enema to

help

detox. Nikky was my "midwife"

She would follow me downstairs and lay next to me. It was a

difficult

time as it was painful

and I would often cry. She was so present with me. She allowed me

to

hold her tightly as

I would cramp alot. She was so sweet, never wanting to leave my

side.

Later as I felt better, she accompanied me to the " warm pools",

which

are naturally heated ocean

water (by underground volcanos). She would swim next to me as I

floated

or swam.

She was my ever constant companion.

Animals have a wonderful way of being there when you need them

most and

I am forever grateful for Nikky

my sweet animal companion and dear friend. Holly

Holly, I am so sorry about your back and what you are going through. My mother in law has bulging disks and has had surgeries for them. I feel for her, to this day. My husband has a troublesome one, as well. Not real bad, but the pain comes and goes. Have you been to a chiro or a napropath? A weekly visit, helps him immensely. I am sorry you are in so much pain and am praying for you tonight. I am sure you are a burden, just wanting to get back to normal, which is understandable. Soak in some of that sunshine .

Make sure to take a good omega, to keep inflammation down, strengthen your immunity, lubricate things a bit, and also to help with depression. Fish or flax seed oil ,fish is better, but whatever you choose is better than nothing. Love you, ---- Original Message -----

-HollyI am sorry to hear that you are not doing well. Being in pain is a very hard way to live and it certainly contributes to depression. What can you do about the bulging disk? My husband had one years ago and I can still remember all the pain. He was constantly wanting to lie down. Sitting really was hard for him. Would physical therapy help? Have any of your symptoms improved since explant? Have you done any more detoxing? Sometimes it can take a really long time to see a difference. I remember that dimonds tried alot of detoxing at first and got very depressed when she got no results. She quit posting on this site for a long time. Then much later, she came back and she was actually improving. I think it had been close to two years. Though not in perfect health, she has made great strides in getting back a life. I will be praying that you will too. I can understand your depression though, It has been one of the hardest foes I have ever fought, much harder than any of my more physical symptoms. And like my other symptoms, it waxes and wanes and I often don't even know what triggers it. Until I got sick with these implants 3 years ago, I was never chronically depressed. Depression is a vicious cycle--it is caused by our illness and the illness itself further depresses us. In other words, it is both part of the illness, and a reaction to our loss. I bet your Nikky is there for you. I know there have been many days when I cried and my smokey jumped right on me and stuck his little face right in mine to try to get me to stop! It always made me so aware of how loved I am and that in itself made me feel just a little less down. God bless you as you seek relief from your pain.Love, kathy-- In , seabrez@a... wrote:> Dear Patty,> > Thank you as always for your kind words.
