All you beautiful wonderful Sisters

[Guest guest]

Cherie ~

Your story is suposed to be just that........

YOUR STORY........

a story in progress ! !

These stories are suposed to be telling the truth

of your implant journey. Right now, you are at the

part where you have been explanted and are detoxing

and eating healthy, and praying alot. You also

have started your daughter on healthier foods, and you

have started a home business. You feel really horrible

but you are on the road to recovery. You not only feel

bad due to what the implants have done to you,but added

to that, you feel the herx of the detoxing.

Your story is a work in progress. and you can leave it

right there, and add to it. Ilena's site is one of the biggest out

there and gets lots of hits, so it is education, and true stories.

I think all stories should also be on all the other sites too,

so that the word is out there. That is up to the web page

owners. But when we announce our day again for Breast

Implant Awareness Day, it would be good to have as many

stories out there as we possibly can. Our POWER is in

numbers of people that have been ill, their power is in money.

So, if we have our numbers out there, it will show our power.

As your journey heals and you become well again, and it will

happen, your story can reflect that. It can change along the way.

But the truth is what we need out there, even if it is in progress !

Love ya honey, and you can do it and mail it to me or to Ilena,

how ever you want to do it. ( ilena.rose@... ) My story is

an in progress one too , that is just how it is. I hope to be able

to write of my miracle one day,who knows when that will happen,

it is my goal, and I am sticking to it !

BTW, your story is a true story of your BI venture and struggles

and your road to recovery, it is not a downer, ( although it may feel like one) , its real. Before implants, I would have loved to read the truth..

Real women with their real journeys ! ! Thank you Cherie, I know how

hard it is to get it on paper, and see it, but when you do, you no longer

own it, it no longer defines you, its a journey you are experiencing......

Dede,

Where do I write my story? I have not had the desire to write mine

especially since I have had no improved, I've actually gotten worse

since explant. I feel that I have nothing positive what so ever to

say. I am the kind of person that when I really have nothing positive

to say, I really do not like to say much at all. I like to be

positive, I however have lost that part of me for a little while. I

want to be an inspiration.....not a downer. I want a woman to read

my story who has implants to be encourged to have them removed, not

to feel as though having them removed may not help her. I really

want to wait until I can say that " yes you can get better " , I'm am

not at that point yet.

Hugs,

Cherie

Hi Cherie,

Boy can I relate! What you wrote were my EXACT feelings several

months ago when others were urging me to write my story. I didn't

want to write it because I was waiting for the happy ending. I

didn't want to sound like a whiner or look defeated because that's

just not me.

I remember Krista telling me that I needed to get my story out there

because who knows how long it could take to recover. At first that

scared me, but you know what...she's right. I thought about all the

women who may not get a chance to read my story while I'm trying to

recover. So I wrote it and honestly, I felt a sense of relief. I

sent it to Ilena.

I've since added a lot more to my story and it will be posted on our

website in the near future. For me it was healing in a sense because

it entailed acknowledging what had happened and accepting

it...although even today I had a moment where I was like, " God, I

really can't believe I'm in this situation! "

I know it's hard getting started but once you do I bet you'll be glad

you did. Love, PH

Thanks Ph,

It's always soooo helpful when I feel that I'm not alone. Your a

sweet angel my dear! I just ready your story on Ilena's site and you

did a great job! You are so blessed to have a loving husband and

children. I just went thru a divorce almost 3 years ago and I am

raising an autistic daughter by myself. I am so alone and my

daughter has very limited speech and really has no idea what's going

on with me. I live with my mom and she has been there to listen but

it sure would be great to have someone to really be there for me on a

daily basis. I have been so alone throughout this illness and I'm

someone who really hates to be alone. I was a only child, that's

probably why. I sometimes feel with this illness that I will be alone

for a very, very long time. I guess I am on no shape in trying to

date again or start a relationship. I keep praying that God will

bring someone in my life who would support me and love for me, but I

keep experiencing closed doors and getting sicker. Sorry for my soap

box story.... I have told God also that I just can't believe I am

in this situation either and I frankly do not know what to think

anymore.

How do I go about getting my story to Ilena? Can I do a rough draft

and have you and the others ladies read it and give me your opinion?

Hugs and prayers,

Cherie

Hi Cherie,No, you are not alone at all. You have us and we understand like no other. Even though I'm blessed w/ my husband's support, he can't understand like the women on this forum. We all know what each is going through to a better degree.

I feel for you with your daughter. I used to work with families doing ABA, respite and later consultation...so on some level I understand the challenges involved and how it turns lives upside down. Divorce is extremely common in these situations due to the stress involved of raising a child with special needs. In fact, 90% of the families I worked with ended in divorce.

The reason I went back to get my Master's was so that I could help the families better. The fact that I now have mercury poisoning and a raging fungal infection might be God's way of leading me down a path so I can truly help these kids. Weird how implant illness and autism have similar symptoms of heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut, gluten sensitivity and yeast...mine especially. When I was first poisoned, the first thing for me to go was eye contact...just like autism...weird. I've gotten it back through detoxing. I just wonder though if God is having me experience these symptoms so that I have greater compassion and knowledge of what these poor kiddos are eduring to some degree and learning how to eradicate them.

Same may be for you...what if you had to get sick so your daughter could get better? If this never happened to you, you wouldn't have changed your diet which will benefit your daughter. So much of the supplements you are taking can be beneficial to your daughter in proper kid-dosing. I know of autistic kids who are doing foot baths and colonics as part of their treatment and getting better. I've actually been corresponding with a couple parents of autistic children who have recovered, trying to find out the detox methods that helped them. What if in your search for your own wellness, you discover the cure for your daughter? It can be done...and you're not alone! Implant illness might really be the best thing to happen to you and all of us in the big scheme of things...we really don't know. Yeah, it's horrible now but we may be counting our blessings 2-4 years from now with all the gifts it has provided.

As far as the dating, your time will come! God knows exactly what you need, who you need and when you need it. For right now, know that you have a ton of support online in regaining your health as well as your daughter's! Hang in there, girl! PH

Wow Beth,

You do have you plate full! . . . I can't having sole responsibility for two tiny tots 24/7 and being sick too. . . . Thank God for your mother!

Sometimes it's best Mom's don't know all their adult kids problems . . . I find myself getting upset when my kids have problems . . . As much as I love them, their problems aren't mine to fix. . .

Sometimes that makes it tougher than when you can fix them!

Hugs,

Dede,

I will spend some time typing my story and then let you ladies read

it. At least I can maybe stop a woman from even consider getting them.

Hugs,
