,

you have the same exact symptoms as a lot of us have, not only do you

have the symptoms but you have also gone through the problems that

are experienced with Doctors after the fact.m It is very common to be

treated that way by family,doctors, and of course PS. We are here for

you to walk with you and help you. Alot of women here have gotten

their life back some of us are still working at it, it doesn't just

come back like magic, but with explant and detoxing and choosing a

healthy eating plan you can get better, I wish you well, we are here

for you,

The rashes you have are classic, at least for silicone implants.

I had them, and many women I have talked to had them.

I can tell you they went away when I had my implants removed.

Of course, I am not a medical doctor and even if I were, I could not tell you

what they are

without seeing you. But I do know my experience, and that of many other women.

I'm so glad you wrote Ilena, and are here.
