Relapse

I write this almost 3 years after I got breast implants on 12/26/06. I relapsed over 9 weeks ago - very severely. I went off my medication in May because I was doing so well. I had been on it almost 2 years and was even thinking of doing a fitness competition again. I was loving life and so happy again. I took a vacation to the lake in August and came home with a bladder infection. I went to the urgent care & they gave me the antibiotic Cipro. I took it and immediately relapsed... I couldn't concentrate at work again, my speech slurred, my brain and vision were foggy, I was terrified that this was happening again. Within 2 weeks, I was relying on everyone around me to drive me to the doctor, calm my fears, and take care of me again. I went on disability from work again, this time for 2 months. I was depressed and regretful again and it has been terrible. Cipro has made lots of people sick, as I have found on the Internet. My Dr. thinks the UTI and the Cipro were trauma to my body and my body went into memory mode from the implant illness. I don't have any diseases, my bloodwork is perfect.. but my immune system attacks itself when something foreign enters it ever since the implants, so I have to be careful. I am thankful to God that I am slowly getting better again and I had supportive people to take care of me.. but this is just a reminder of how much I have to take care of my body for the rest of my life now.

2 year explant anniversary!

Let the party begin… it is my 2 Year Explant Anniversary! 2 years since my painful journey began and started coming to an end. Told you I would be here to blog about it. Rather than ramble & reiterate all that I have said before.. I think it will be good to list the pros & cons of this terrible journey.

Cons:

• Went through hell for 9 months - sick as heck, no memory, foggy, body pains, dimentia, chills, blurry vision, a sezuire, a coma, the list goes on….
• 2 scars under my breasts
• Scary memories that will last forever.. and the scary things people tell me that happened that I have no memory of
• Seeing breast implants seen as such a great thing in the media and how women’s beauty is portrayed
• Missed1 yr of work & life
• Lost my apartment & ruined a relationship
• Found out who my real friends were
• Frusteration that nothing is being done about this crisis
• Lost a lot of money & got into debt trying to get better

Pros:

• Appreciate life now & don’t take it for granted
• Help other women either make the right decision or comfort them and help them in sickness, as they find my site
• Am able to save some money now to buy a house one day
• Got into a wonderful new relationship
• No more anxiety.. I have been through the worst.. now I am a brave woman!
• New challenging job that makes me happy!

The list goes on & on.. but that felt good and I just wanted to share my anniversary of getting my implants out with everyone. The worst decision I ever made was to put those objects in my body.. and the best thing I ever did was to take them out
