I'm sorry you have been so sick. Many women report their health improving dramatically with the implants out. And most all are very happy with their results and being natural again. Best wishes!

Woman, they have to go!!
I'm sending you love from accross the world. Forget about the way you look. You need your health. Xx

I agree with "they have to go." Is having large fake breast worth loosing your health ? I just don't understand the reason you would keep them in. You need your health back and your body is reacting to these toxic bags . Get them out ASAP !

I had my consult with Dr Kelly on Dec 8 .
I was very pleased with Dr Kelly she answered all my questions, I felt at ease with having her doing the surgery.
I hope to have the surgery before the end of this month or Janurary. No more toxic bags in my body. We decussed doing a fat transfer to helphelp bring some fullness into breast.
Thank all you of you wonderful women who gone thru this and wrote your stories to help others in thrir fight to become healthy and natural.

Hope I'm not over stepping my boundaries here but you have an auto immune disease. I too had a lot of the same problems. I didn't lose all my hair but a lot and gained 100 pounds since implants 19 years ago. I had the skin disorders and as I researched I have stopped eating sugar, dairy products, gluten and my skin problems cleared up but not until I stopped eating gluten. Now I do go February 6 for explant. I eat raw veggies and chicken fish or turkey. Shopping at Aldis has made eating gluten free easy. It took about 6 to 8 months to detox this far. My autoimmune disease is thyroid hashimoto . Have they checked your TPO antibodies and TG antibodies? This will determine if you have hashimotos. Just trying to help but getting the implants out is one of my last steps to hopefully getting better. I wish you so much luck. Let us know how it all turns out. You are beautiful
