I am so glad that you are doing so well! What a blessing! And that

is great about the support group for divorced women. I wish that I

could just find a support group for women period. I am not

divorced, yet I find it hard to meet women to just talk with and

hang out with occasionally. It seems everyone's life is so busy that

most people aren't interested in meeting people unless they have

children the same age, work with them, or are the next door

neighbor. I lost my job 2 years ago and need to get back out in the

world more as I am doing better now. It is just hard to take that

step. Please keep checking back with us as you have alot of hope to

offer new ladies with your wonderful recovery.

Hugs,

kathy

Hi Cricket,

I am new to the forum and was hoping you could help me with some information. I have had my saline implants for 18 months and have a consultation with a Dr this Thursday about having them removed. Everyone on this sight has been so supportive and wonderful, but I was hoping you could answer some questions for me. I read somewhere on the sight that you had your implants removed after 18 months. Did you start having problems form the very beginning? If so what where your symptoms? How long after your explant did you start feeling better? Ans did you do any kind of detox, and if so what did you do? I would appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks again,cricket5643000 <cricket5643000@...> wrote:

Cricket, what an unusual name, is it a nickname? I have been scanning

the posts and saw your's and read it with much interest. Can you tell

me more about how your healing went? I of course have a different

situation than you in many ways, but I would love to know how you got

well so fast. I have read some rather dissappointing stories on this

site, of women taking 4 years, and some even 11 years to get better.

That is discouraging for me of course, I am in my mid forties and

don't want to be sick until I am 55 if you know what I mean? Thyroid

condition is not so bad compared to some of the issues I have to deal

with.

I have leaking silicon implants that I have had too long, lets say I

am embarassed as to how long I have had them.

I would like to be reasonable about my recovery though. I don't have

any expectations of my plastic surgeon being able to heal me. I do

feel that once he has done his work then I can get well through a

good fitness regimine. I have been in contact with Rose from another

explant site and she has been really amazing to me. She is like me, a

gel victim and has gotten well with some gel still in her body. She

tells me her healing has really revolved around aquatics classes that

she teaches, and some other exercise, yoga, meditation, and eating a

healthy diet.

I am off sugar, so far I don't notice one thing from it but I will

continue with my organic healthy diet. Fish, chicken and vegggies and

fruit mostly.

I have 2 children, one that I had before implants, she is fine. My

son has ADD and ADHD and is doing better on his new medication. He

was born with my implants in my body so I have tremendous guilt

associated with this situation.

Anyhow so sorry to ask so much of you, but please share with us all

what you did to get well so quickly.

I would love to get as many options as possible for after my

procedure so that if I don't get well with the ideas I already have I

can begin to look into other ones.

thank you for your message of hope

Annie,

I am short on time but wanted to get something off to you.

I am 48.

I had saline implants for 16 months. I started getting sick right

away, but did not make the connection till I found this wonderful

group. That was 15 1/2 months after being implanted. I had them

removed two weeks after I found out that they were causing me to be

so sick.

In the data base section (click on the last entry) I wrote down

everything that I took and did to get better. Take a look and if you

have any questions just ask. Everyone is different, but this seemed

to work for me. The one thing that I think helped the most is

sweating. The skin is the biggest detox oragn. I remember early on

when I worked out my sweat really really smelled. More on one size

than the other. Now I no longer have a odor when I sweat.

I am glad that you found this site, I don't know what would have

happened to me if I didn't.

sorry I have to go.

Love Cricket

Cricket thank you for answering my message. I appreciate all the

advice I can get.

My explant date is moved up, so it shouldn't be too long now. I am

not going to one of the Dr's on the list, because I found one closer

to my home that is willing to work with me on financing and he is

very compassionate about getting my breasts fixed up. He says I will

need a complete cleaning out. I had an MRI that shows intracapsular

leakage but he thinks it is all contained in the capsule. That is the

good news for me.

I am around your age also, and hope that I can try some of the things

you suggested. I don't think I can try any naturopaths in my area,

they are very expensive. I do want to try sweating. I have heard that

swimming is very good too, but no one on this group has given me any

feedback on this. I am not sure if you sweat doing aquatics, do you

know?

It sounds as though your doing well. 100% better that is great. I

don't have saline and Have had silicone for many many years, but

still this gives me hope.

I have also heard the skin is the largest organ so this whole

exercise and sweating thing is sounding like a good idea to me. I

realize I will be laid up for a few weeks, maybe even 2 months. I am

having a mini face lift with my breast surgery. People think I am

crazy for doing it, but to me, well it is my treat to myself since

the Dr is giving me such a good deal and then I might feel better

about being flat again, if my face looks nice.

Right now I am extremely thin. What would you recomend I do for this

problem as far as exercise? I just don't eat very much and it seems I

never gain weight. I thought maybe I had overactive thyroid but it

shows up as normal.

I am down to 100 pounds. If I lose anymore I am really going to look

sick, sicker than I do already.

Thank you Cricket. Your advice is helpful. Now if someone can tell me

if they know about sweating when swimming that would be information I

would love to know.

going on with Knee replacements.Haven't had to do that yet.But I know

some one who has gone through it and it has changed their life for the

better.....I am limiting my walks to inside these days..It has been in

the 100's for the past month or so.Love Arizona. Really do.The fall

and winters are fabulous.Low humidity. The best move I ever made. I

Hi Skye. Where in AZ are you? I live in Phoenix, but spend weekends in

Flagstaff in the summer. We have lived here since 1963 and love it. If I am

nearby we would be happy to run errands, etc. if you need it.

Hi ,

How sad, your situation has got to be tough on all of you. Have you requested a BA in writing from the school for either of your kids? Might be a good place to start, then the results will force them to recognize his needs and make accomodations to their IEP's (ie; social skills ed., 'buddy' system, 1 on 1 time with educators trained to work with AS kids, etc.).

I have two sons who are on the spectrum. I am sure is eithor high functioning or aspi.He hates school alwase being bullied. Two weks ago came home with a goose egg. He has no friends. The School refuses to see his for what he has.------------------------------------
