Re: 1-year, Rogene and Lynda

At the one year mark, my doctors and my

Naturopthic Doctor did not know if I was going to

live. I was extremely ill, a great testament for

having your implants removed en bloc, which mine was not. 1990.

Lynda,

How are you doing now? Have you mostly recovered? Thanks for sharing.

I didn't feel ready to return to work for two years. but I had no support group to help me find the way.freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: Rogene and Lynda, As both of you are several years further down the road on your recovery, I was wondering if you might briefly tell me how you were feeling at the one-year mark, and how it compares to your health now.

Lynda dear...

I do remember now your telling me about that, when somehow I got your name and

called

you after I discovered my implants were ruptured. I don't even remember now how

I got

your name. But that is why I agonized over what to do and what doctor to use,

and did

everything I could to make sure I got a good surgeon.

I look back now and realize how sick I was - sicker than I realized at the time.

I do not think I would be alive today had I not had the implants removed when I

did.

A little after the fact, but thank you - your words started me on the right

path.

Rogene and Bindi... and all...

It was a little over two years for me, that I started working part time again.

At one year I was still pretty sick but better than I was at expant. I was

still very

depressed, fatigued and in pain (joint and muscle pain).

By two years, though, my health had substantially improved. I know that I have

said this

until some of you are probably sick of hearing me say it, but my blood tests are

now

normal. NORMAL! They had been abnormal consistently before my explant, and not

just

my ANA. It seemed every week something worse was happening, and some new

antibody

showed up.

By the time I had my explant, my health was declining exponentially.

Rogene and Lynda,

was

wondering if you might briefly tell me how you were feeling at the one-year

mark, and

how it compares to your health now. It would really help me in on my own path.

Thank you Molly, it is always good to know that

we make a difference. I think I was the first

one Patty contacted also. And look where she has taken this now.

We never know the importance of a single contact,

so I tell all women to just keep helping others, pass it on.

That is the most important thing we can all do

with the information we have learned from each other.
