I had my implants done seven years ago and started getting sick about a year later. First with IBS and food allergies and then a Fibromyalgia diagnosis two years later after being bed ridden for months and having to leave my job. It has completely turned my life upside down. The chronic fatigue is the worst part for me and has crippled my life. After years of trying to find ways to improve my health I came across news that there were links between breast implants and FM. I have read studies and many reputable health sites that say while they can't prove it, there is enough evidence to support their theory. That's all I needed to make my decision and so while I'm waiting to meet with my surgeon in two weeks I'm trying to gain more insight. Can anyone tell me if they had similar health issues and if the removal helped? I feel like such an idiot for putting my health and the happiness of my family at risk just so I could feel better about myself. I thought I did all the proper research but clearly I didn't dig deep enough not did I think the very off chance of some things I read would happen to me. Thank you all for your posts. They are so encouraging and uplifting!
