Re: Pictures are now posted to Shutterfly

[Guest guest]

Christene,

I just went to Shutterfly to our photo webpage, and didn't see

anything new. Did you post them to our site there?

http://.shutterfly.com/action/ (password is

implants)

Or do you have your own shutterfly account?

No Ma'am, I went through the groups link and had them transferred

from my account over to the group. It said transfer successful....

I'll look into it AGAIN...

Christene,

You won't look like a fool, don't worry. Even if the rash comes out

negative for silicone, the silicone could still be causing it.

Better to know what you're dealing with.

Thanks Sis! I guess it's just me huh? What's so strange is that like 2 years before I had this revelation that I was sooooo genetically blessed. I have always been especially proud of my skin. I've been told on many occasions that I have the "China Doll" look or "Porcelain" look. But it was just taking care of my skin and staying ouyt of the sun. Genetically, I never had acne and always had "normal" skin. Never too dry or too oily. When it came to wounds I always healed perfectly with minimal scar damage. You can't even see my implant scars (peri-areolar). Heck, I even got lucky with pregnancies! I have one stretchmark that is less than an inch long on my abdomen. (2 pregnancies 50+ pounds with each)

But now....none of that matters. Now my whole body is so scarred I can't wear a swimming suit in public, no dress, and no shorts because people see my legs and inevitably they ask whats wrong with me. I truly wonder if I will be able to recover from this even after they are out. It's sad, but also scary.

But Sis, what I have is hardly a rash. It's open wounds that I swear leak the silicone onto my skin causing me to itch even more! It burns, stings, and itches. Pretty painful actually. I know I don't help by scratching, but "I wouldn't be scratching if there wasn't something wrong causing me to itch!" That's what I tell the Derms. It sucks to be me. I have to get out of Georgia and back home to SoCal where I don't sweat so much because it's dry there.

Okay, I feel better. Thanks for letting me say my peace.

Christene, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. How long

has this been happening?

I just checked and couldn't find them either. If Christene is having a hard

time uploading them, perhaps she could send the photos attached to an email

to either you or me and we could upload them for her. I uploaded Kim's

quite a while back for her because she had difficulties.
