Help please. I can't decide if I should explant.

[Guest guest]

I haven't posted in quite a while. I'm having a very hard time deciding

if I should explant the saline implants I regrettably placed 5 years

ago. Unfortunately, my insurance will not cover.

The main reason I can't decide is that I have so much going on, and I

don't know what might be causing what. So, I'm not sure if the implants

are a root cause or not much of a factor. The only symptom I have that

is closely associated with the implants are tender lymph nodes/areas on

the sides of my chest. And, I am having some mild pains on my left

side, and I'm not really sure if it is pain stemming from the underside

of my left implant or pain related to my heart or something else (e.g.

reflux). This pain scares me a little as it's more prominent at night,

and sometimes it causes pain to move from one position to another (I

feel a bit like some sort of fluid is building up).

Here's my myriad of issues:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Extremely high mercury levels

Frequent problems with Candida

Lots of digestive trouble - constipation, malabsorption

Possible/probably Celiac/gluten intolerance

Adrenal fatigue

Reflux

Some days I feel perfectly fine. Other days I feel terrible and am

frantically trying to determine what I might do to get better so I can

watch my little kids grow up.

Please let me know what you think. For those of you that may have had

similar issues and explanted, I'd love to know if things improved. I

know the surgery will be a little tough and may especially draining for

my adrenals. And, it costs a good bit of money (and time). I don't

want to do it unless there's a good chance it will help me with my

probelms.

Thanks!!!
