Please help me. I have 8 year old saline mentor...

Please help me. I have 8 year old saline mentor implants under the muscle 450cc. Last August 2014 I started getting neck and back pain. I figured due to past car accidents. After many doctor visits, chiropractor, meds, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, cortisone shots etc my pain only got worse and more widespread. In January started getting joint pain in wrists, hips, knees, elbows,etc. Random tingles/numbness in finers and toes. Weak right arm. Stiff right side if neck. Severe upper stomach pain and soft stools. Sorry tmi. Still on my journey with docs to find help., most dismiss me, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, 4 primary physicians etc. In april 2015 after extensive bloodwork I finally got a diagnosis of hashimoto's. However, my thyroid levels are normal so I don't understand. I also got a positive ana test 1:160 speckled but docs say it's not lupus or RA. So what is it? I take a bunch of supplements and lowdose naltrexone to help with the autoimmune aspect I suppose. Until one day in may, during bible study while we were praying for my illnesses a woman came up to me saying she also has an autoimmune disease and believes she got it from her cornea implants. It was like a knife through my heart. I never considered my saline implants as they have never caused me any grief in 8 years. After much research and prayer I'm led to explant in two weeks. Consulted with Dr schooler in santa barbara. I like him I'm just worried if he will do it right and the capsulectomy is thorough enough. I've noticed just recently my right breast us much lower than the left, it wasn't like that before. Majority of my pain and issues are right sided as well. I fear that taking them out won't resolve my health issues. But is it normal to have this much pain and flu like symptoms with hashimoto's? Idk. I don't even care that I will look like a boy again once they're out, we'll I do but my health is all I desire so I can be an awesome wife and mom. Please tell me correlation with hashimoto's, my symptoms, and saline implants . Please tell me I won't look horrible once they are out and i will start feeling better. Please tell me dr schooler is a wise choice. Please be in prayer for me. I'm reading the naked truth book and I read so much about detox, hiw do I even know if I have fungus, mold or bacteria? Feeling overwhelmed and fearful. Trusting God. Clinging to Jesus. Need more confirmation. Thank you. God bless you.
