> Hi Donna,

My name is Liz and i'm also new to the group. I found

the support group a little over a week ago by

" accident " when i was going crazy searching for

answers to why i had become sick. I had saline

implants put in about six months ago (first time) and

started developing symptoms after 3-4 months. i know

what your going through. I've run myself ragged and

have put myself in debt ( no insurance) trying to find

answers, but to no avail. All my blood work came out

normal and the doctors tell me the same thing stress

or depression. " Not implant related. " But i knew i was

a perfectly healthy person until the surgery. I

haven't even had a cold in 2 years.

I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone

and you should be proud of yourself for not giving up

and believing those doctors. God is leading you. And

thank goodness he places people beside us to get us

through. Feel free to email me anytime.

God bless,

Liz
