hi new to group

[Guest guest]

Hi and welcome. I had my implants out in October and have not

recovered yet,but haven't given up hope. How did you come to the

conclusion it was your implants that were making you sick? I

haven't heard of Dr. Vasey, but have started treating via the phone

with Dr. Leu, an ND recommended by Kenda in this group, who has

helped other women with explants recover. I too had sleep

disturbances - just couldn't fall asleep night after night. My pain

was (is) in the form of arthritis in my sternum/clavicles and

chronic inflammation between my shoulder blades and neck area. I'm

really glad you found this group - it must be very hard to go

through all that you have without the fellowship of others in the

same situation. I know you will find tremendous comfort from all

the wonderful women on this site.
