Are there any women who are an A cup????

[Guest guest]

I'm a 32AA, I think. I live with the "inadequacy" thing you speak of. I hate it. But health is so important. Nobody looks good at a pool when they're too sick to go to one. For example, I could never go to one right now due to chlorine exposure (in the air, never mind getting in the water) and also perfumes or lotions that others might be wearing there.If I'd gotten implants when I'd wanted to, back when I found this board and these women whacked some sense into me, there is no telling how ill I'd be right now. As it is, I've become unable to work. Recovery is hard. I would not want to attempt it with breast implants installed.I am so grateful to all the women on this board who tried to get through to me when I was too emotional to really feel the full impact of what they were telling

me: I still had that "But would it really happen to me?" thought.Now I know full well it would have. I already had MCS bubbling under the surface. Now it's to the forefront. I'm sure implants would have brought it to the forefront sooner, and I don't know how I'd have fought it with them inside me.I know health is easy to take for granted when you have it, and it's easier to just feel the want for feeling secure or whatever, but love yourself. These women taught me how. I still had rough days! I still do now...but also I know it would be the worst decision of my life. And that's saying a lot : ) Please take care of yourself.-32AAFrom: Harlan <karenharlan@...> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:24:24 PMSubject: Re: Re: Are there any women who are an A cup????

Thanks for the advice. You have helped me see things a little differently. I just don't know howto stop letting other women bother me. I don't want my husband to think someone looks better than me when we are at a water park, for example. I get reallt nervous and upset. I wish I could be happy and stop trying to keep my husband from noticing other women that I think he will think they look better than me.

Hi ,You are not alone in the way you feel. I also used to feel this way about my bustline after having my children. I really hated my breasts, which is really hard to believe now that I have learned to love them the way they are! It is a totally change of mind...a change in my thinking patterns about them.I had saline implants and had mine removed. I pretty much went back to the size I was before implants, and I am fine with them. I have actually gained a little weight in the past decade since having them removed, and I know that the added weight has increased my bustline, but right after explant and lift I went back to my former size.I used to believe that implants were the only thing that would make me happy since I was so unhappy with my figure. And, for a few months, I was satisfied with them, though not completely. They were hard and unnatural looking...great in clothes, but not in swimsuits.Then I got sick and

the most important thing in my life at that time was getting my health back so I could be the same wife and mother that I was before. It was devastating how sick I was. The boobs just didn't matter at all at that point. So, there is a secret to getting beyond the depression and the dissatisfaction with our breast size...and it is learning to realize that we have value that goes much, much deeper than a pair of larger breasts. I had to get my eyes off the breast size completely, and start looking at myself as a whole person that God loved very much, and that He knew all of my desires, hurts, needs, and purposes better than I knew them myself. When my outlook on life started matching up with His purposes for me, and His truths as found in His Word, then everything started falling into place. I started experiencing joy like I had never known before! I had peace and a feeling of being liberated from the chains that I had let myself be bound

with--the chains of the lies of Hollywood, the media and the "beautiful people", that I had to look a certain way to be attractive.I found that the time I invested in becoming more beautiful on the inside was much more rewarding than the time I spent investing on the outward appearance. Outward beauty fades and goes away...inward beauty lasts forever, and hopefully grows more and more beautiful as the years go by.I hope that helps give another perspective. ..Implants are not all they are cracked up to be...I know that from experience. I would hate to have implants now. I love the real me that God made best of all. I wish all women would realize that they are beautiful naturally, and that implants are too risky....they are truly dangerous! Take care and God bless,Patty>> I have been wanting to have saline breast implants for years. I am 36 years old and have three children and I am still an A cup!!!! I hate it!!!! I also have scoliosis rods in my back so one of my breasts looks smaller than the other. I am depressed ALL the time and the only way I think I will be happy is if I have saline breast implants. If anyone out there is an A cup and has had your implants removed please let me know.> > Thank-you,> > >

We appreciate you, Ballerina-doll...

You're a great testimony of intelligence in doing what is best for your body.

I'm really sorry to hear of this full blown MCS rearing its head.

What do you think brought it on? How are you dealing with it? Detoxing?

Are you in a doctor's care?

I'm hoping that you will not suffer any longer than you have to with

this...meaning, I think there are answers that are similar to what we've had to

consider for treatment with our immune system issues. What have you done so far?

I'm praying for you...thanks for writing, and please keep us posted on your

progress.

HUgs,

Patty

Patty,Thanks for inquiring! : ) In answer to your questions, what brought it on was a comedy of allergy errors in one weekend. First, some coworkers tricked me into eating jalapeno cheese, even though one of them knew I was VERY allergic to the pepper (anaphylaxis reactions). That guy never even apologized. The other guy did, many times, and kept following up to see how I was doing.Then, I went to my friend's house that weekend. Her husband was serving food I was allergic to, so she gave me a Clarinex (allergy med). It made me numb to my own allergies, which was great for the night, but starting two days later, everything I ate tasted like sour rotten milk, including candy and pop! Everything! This lasted weeks, until I got in at my now-doctor, who specifically treats MCS. By

this time, everything was tasting like pepper. They treated me for pepper allergy. It took a few weeks, but eventually all foods without chemicals tasted like food again (not pepper or sour milk) and I became far less allergic to pepper, if at all. We went to a restaurant once, and pepper was on the table, and I didn't even know! I am going to this doctor about two times per week. They are treating my allergies via NAET, giving me auto-vaccines via extracting blood, whipping it, and reinjecting the serum (Dede- I can't tell specifically if this is doing anything or not, since so much is being done in parallel), they are hooking me up to what I call The Suitcase Bomb and running programs that send various frequencies into me that smash up "the bad cells", and I just did a liver cleanse this past weekend. I'm sure I'll be doing more of them eventually.The liver cleanse made me lose consciousness so I'm a little freaked out about repeating

it. It was horrible. Completely awful. I thought I was going to die. At the time I thought if I lived through it, I'd never do that to myself again. Now that I'm okay, I know it's healthy to do, but I fear facing that again.Anyway, I had to leave my job due to inability to breathe there. My last day there, my boss had to call EMS, who brought me an oxygen tank, so I could get out of there. (30th floor and deep inside the biggest building in Detroit- 15 minutes to an exit, and I couldn't breathe). They laid me off that day, and said they were going to anyway, regardless of my health situation. Whatever.I can't really go anywhere - there are perfume people everywhere. It makes me lose my muscles and my vision and my head fogs up. I hate it.I'm just going to keep on track. My doctor says most of his patients recover in about a year. He said I'm in the 80th percentile as far as how bad off he's seen- meaning 80% were better than me

to start with. He said it's hard to start treatment once someone is this bad because he has no "in"...no good system to start with and work outwards. But we're chipping away at it.I hope everyone else on here is progressing. I think of you all often.Ballerina.From: glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...> Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 3:26:59 AMSubject: Re: Are there any women who are an A

Here's the truth ...

Your husband is going to think other women look better than you.

My husband thinks other women look better than me. It's just a fact of

life.

There is no use comparing, because we are always going to find someone

who looks better, talks better, walks better, dances better, cooks

better, whatever. It is just healthy to learn to APPRECIATE other

women instead of being threatened by them.

I think we all compare ourselves, but there is a healthy way to live

with it, and an unhealthy way to live with it. The unhealthy way is to

constantly live in fear. The healthy way is to realize that EVERY human

being is valuable, no matter how they look. Once you start to face the

truth of the value inherent in every human being, and hold yourself up

to be equal to everyone around you, then you can start to respond

appropriately.

No matter what your husband thinks about other women, realize and take

hold of the fact that HE CHOSE YOU by his own free will to be married to

you! Yes, there are going to be more beautiful and more shapely women

around you...they are around every one of us, and we have to place our

trust in our marriage vows. Otherwise, the marriage is weak.

Do you ever think other men look better than your husband? I've seen

other men who I think are just gorgeous compared to my husband. But I

happen to love my husband more than any man on earth, and nothing will

change that because we've made committments to love each other until

death do us part.

I hope this is somehow helpful...how are you doing now? I know it takes

time, but start believing some truth NOW and living it.

I want you to be happy ....

Oh my goodness, this sounds incredible and awful...

I wonder if the drugs (Clarinex) had anything to do with your reaction?

I am so freaked out by drugs...honestly. There are so many side effects that

lead to other things and more drugs...ugh. A never ending cycle of misery.

That liver cleanse reaction sounds scary as all heck too. I have never heard of

anyone losing consciousness doing it before. I wonder what the heck was going

on???

I am really sorry to hear about your sudden illness and the loss of your

job....man, life sometimes takes sucky turns...and I am praying that your

efforts will soon pay off.

It sounds like you have a decent doctor. At least he has been honest about it.

I hope you've been given the encouragement that you can get better though,

too...it is of tremendous value to believe it!

You will get the answers you need. Your body knows how to function healthy, and

now you just need to find the path back to that healthy state. Still so hard to

fathom this all starting with foods!

But it just points to the fact that our immune systems change over time and

through exposures, and that what is safe for one is not safe for another.

Wishing you healing and happiness...

What are you doing for money? Will you get SSD?

Ballerina,

I'll send you healing thoughts.

As I went through breast cancer, I bumped into the library book, " Out of This

World " . Commiserating with folks who have faced and recovered from health

crises was comforting to me.

I am going to apply for SSD. There has been a fairly new addition to the form that allows for MCSers to apply. (an immune system disorder section, I believe)I think a couple of things happened with the Clarinex...I think it masked my allergies, allowing me to do things my body would normally guard me against. (e.g. I ate foods I'd NEVER have been able to eat, and then we went to a comedy club, where I sat right next to a smoker and was not bothered!) If not for the Clarinex, I'd not have done those things. My doc says that those things, coupled with the jalapeno (I have a pepper allergy), sent my liver over the edge. The Clarinex took away my defense system, which warns me STRONGLY of what to stay away from. That night, I was free! It was also my last night of freedom...But there was

something else that happened that night, too, because my friend started having everything taste metallic after that, albeit only slightly, and only for about a week. But then, three times since then!!! her husband has gone through bouts of everything tasting like sour curdled milk (like I experienced). My theory is it is one of their cooking pans, because that night, my friend and I ate the Basmati rice from one pan, and the husbands ate their rice from a different pan. Neither of them had their sense of taste change within a day or two of that night.It wasn't until weeks later that her husband started experiencing it, on and off between then and now, though my friend has never had the metallic thing recur, nor has she experienced the sour curdled milk problem. I think it's the metal on one of their pans, but who knows? It's just a theory.From: glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...> Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 10:22:42 AMSubject: Re: Are there any women who are an A cup????

Eegads. That is frightening to think of what we may possibly be exposed to

through the cookware at restaurants. Never thought about that!

Applying for SSD can take years...are you going to hire a lawyer to push it

through for you?
