Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I wanted to share some good news! Today I received a letter from the Board (for my law license) recommending admission. This means I should get my license very soon. I went to law school in my late 40s, but then became very ill from my ruptured implants. I deferred taking the bar exam because I was too sick to take it. Two years ago I was explanted by Dr. Kolb. For well over a year, I was still very sick. Gradually, though, I began feeling better and was able finally to take the bar exam (and passed it). I still had to go through the background check. I had to explain why I had not worked for this time, and so I did - I explained how ill I had become from the implants. I described how sick I had been, and that I was diagnosed with lupus, mulitple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroid disease (and depression as a result of the other illnesses). I explained that now, three years after graduation, my health has improved and I am working part time. And now I will finally become licensed. I can tell you that two years ago, I never thought I would be able to take the bar exam, get licensed, or work again. Every lab test I had came back abnormal, until after my explant. For 5 years before my surgery, I had a high (not borderline) ANA. Now it is normal. And, I feel so much better, and as a result, I no longer am depressed. I hope that this gives someone some hope, who may be wondering if removing implants will make any difference in their health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Molly, Congratulations!!! That is such incredible news!! I think only those of us who have been ill because of implants can truly appreciate what a struggle it was for you and what an amazing accomplishment this is. I don't think any of us realized how strong we truly were until our lives fell apart because of implants, and it's so encouraging to hear that life can be good again. I know there are many women coming here who haven't explanted yet, or who are still recovering - and who possibly had to stop studying because they were too sick, so your story is an inspiration.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Molly, Congratulations again!! I remember how very, very sick you were beforehand. I also remember how depressed you were, so worried about taking your exam and if you would even be able to do it. I remember slowly you getting better and the day that you finally PASSED! This is the fruition I am so happy to see. auntsisnj <auntsisnj@...> wrote: Molly,Congratulations!!! That is such incredible news!!

When you do get your license, whatever law firm gets you, will be most fortunate. It is the fine women like yourself that keeps my hopes high. Wishing you health, happiness and the pursuit of a wonderful career.Sis >> I wanted to share some good news!> Today I received a letter from the Board (for my law license) recommending admission.> This means I should get my license very soon.> > I went to law school in my late 40s, but then became very ill from my ruptured implants.
