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!!!
