Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 I met Patty here in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. It took me awhile to get the courage to write because I keep thinking that I'm going to get better somehow. I had my saline implants in when I was 21 and living in Ft.Lauderdlae Fl. where I'm from. I've always been peppy, positive, and athletic. I am now 35 and living in Las Vegas with my husband and 1year old baby, Quinn. I'm a flight attendant and love my job even though I haven't worked in 6 months. 4 years ago I started getting terrible abdominal pain and I had 2 different laparscopys done. The doctors thought that I had endometriosis but weren't sure. 6 months after that I had awful all over body pain. My muscles and joints feel like I've been in a train wreck. I've been to the Mayo clinic in Phoenix twice, UCLA in LA.and afibromyalgia hospital in Chicago. After speaking to Patty I'm scheduled to have my implants out on Nov. 6th in Phoenix. For the past 3 years I've been going to a fibromyalgia support group and have seen dozens of doctors for chronic pain. I can't believe what a mess my life is and sometimes I don't think that it's worth it to get out of bed. The days are so long! Every doctor I've ever asked has told me my implants are not the problem and to leave them alone. I recently has a doctor tell me that I must have an overgrowth on yeast in my body and that is causing my pain. Has anyone ever heard that before? I'm so depresed and feel hopeless. My husband has been very patient with my illness but I feel like such a burden. I can't even pick up my baby and we don't have any family here! I would appreciare any advice, I just want my life back!!! Thanks-Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
