Please pray for this sick woman, "L"

Another sick woman who has emailed me..

"YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS WAS SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND

IN NEW YORK. I AM A PATIENT AT USC FOR A MULTITUDE OF MEDICAL ISSUES.

I AM MOST INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT YOUR DOCTOR. I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FOR MONTHS WITH WHAT I BELIEVE IS SILICONE POISONING. MY LIFE IS BEING TAKEN FROM ME.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE SHARE WITH ME YOU EXPERIENCES AND TREATMENTS, I WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU.

I AM WAITING ANXIOUSLY FOR YOUR REPLY.

"Enough already with the fake tits!"

Read this article:

http://men.style.com/details__details/2007/11/enough-already.html

This magazine definitely grabbed my attention when I saw it in the grocery store last night. “Enough already” is exactly what I have been thinking ever since I got sick. I could not believe that so many women get sick from something that is a HUGE trend in society right now, yet nobody talks about it. It is more like the “cool” thing to do. Didn’t you ever just look at someone like Dolly Parton or Pam Anderson like they were silly Jessica Rabbit cartoons - nobody would actually want to WALK AROUND like that, would they? Oh ya, this guy hits the nail on the head with this article about “Uber boobs” - he doesnt like the way they feel or sound or the concept that women are maybe getting these for men or for whom?

I also loved how he says that ya, the FDA approved them, but do breasts go under food or drugs? I mean, if people got sick from spinach and the FDA was quick to pull it off all shelves in supermarkets, why do breasts get to stay on the shelves for women to almost die from? It is seriously not fair. I didn’t touch spinach and am still kind of scared to, yet breasts are supposed to be “safe”? Ha!

Sick women who have emailed me..

I thank everyone for checking out my site and sending it to friends. I have heard so many tales in the short couple of months that my site has been live. I have had women email me who have had implants and have terrible symptoms similar to mine and wanted advice on where to go to get them taken out. I have had women email me who were sick and had their implants taken out and have gotten better. I have even had women email me and thank me for changing their minds about wanting breast implants. That is what the site is for.. to make people aware, to help people and to tell my story. I have tried contacting publications and shows and haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully you will hear of more and more women coming public with their stories. We are women who signed up for something that was wrongfully proven safe, our lives have been affected and we have no legal rights. I really hope that this upcoming year - 2008 - will be our year.

January 29, 2007 Blog

Found this terrible blog entry I wrote at the support group I found online 2 days before my 2nd surgery, when I got the implants removed. This was far before the worst was to come and it was already a nightmare. I had only had the implants for 5 weeks when I wrote this. I have always been a tough girl & this breaks my heart to see how weak I was.

Subject: Explant in 2 Days

Hey everyone - thanks for all the support i have gotten here.
this is terrible and i cant believe this happens to so many people.

this is the scariest thing to ever happen to me to lose my memory and
not know where i am half the time. i feel like i am five years old.
its like a fog is around me all the time and im dizzy. i keep wearing
the same clothes every day because im too dizzy to walk around the
room and find something else.

my arms ache with pain like my arm is broken and i cant do anything
about it and i can never remember where i put my purse.. i can barely
walk or even drive.

im scared to lose my job.. i need to make money so i can keep my
apartment and i need to be smart and have a memory to keep my job.
thats why i am so scared. its not like i have a cold. i
feel mentally terrible and slowed down and dizzy and i just really
need it to go away to feel normal.

i want to feel normal again. i hate being sick when i look fine on
the outside and nobody knows how bad i am suffering on the inside.

PLEASE KEEP REASSURING ME I WILL GET MY MEMORY BACK AND FEEL
BETTER. I HAVE ONLY HAD THESE IMPLANTS 5 WEEKS. I DONT WANT TO DIE. I
WANT TO GO TO MOVIES AND GO OUT AND TO EAT WITHOUT BEING
DIZZY. I WANT TO BE NORMAL AND GET MARRIED ONE DAY. I WANT TO MAYBE HAVE
KIDS. IM SO SCARED I AM NOT GOING TO GET THESE THINGS BECAUSE IM SO
MENTALLY FOGGY. PLEASE TELL ME I AM. PLEASE TELL ME IM GOING TO GET
BETTER. THIS IS ALL I THINK ABOUT AND I CANT SLEEP AT NIGHT.

my pre op is tomorrow.. my parents are coming with me to talk to the
doctor about how we want capsules out and drains and everything and to
send the implants to that doc in canada. he doesn't think they made me sick but i have no time to find anyone else. i talked to a lawyer today
who said a lot of women are reacting to my kind of implants - inamed. he said a lot get better quickly. it may be a leaky valve.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I NEED CONSTANT REASSURANCE. MY MIND IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS AND KNOW ILL BE OK. I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS OVER.

US Weekly = Lame

THIS IS SICK!! You would DIE to put plastic in your chest??? If I had been told I could get sick, I wouldn't have done it. Informed consent. People like this who DON'T EVEN CARE make me sick.


Us: Tell people why you had the surgeries.
Heidi Montag: “I’ve always been very insecure about my body. My whole life, I looked at my chest and was like, okay, they’re going to grow. This is my year! And it never happened. I was less than an A-cup. I wore push-up bras, which cut into my skin. If I was with a guy and there was a girl next to me with big boobs, I would be like, Oh, my God, he’s looking at her! On the beach, if I was standing next to a girl with big boobs, I’d be like, I hate her! I hated my nose too. I have my dad’s nose, which is huge. It took up so much of my face, when I looked down, I could see my nose. I couldn’t get away from it!”

Us: Take people back to April 2, the day of ­surgery.
Heidi Montag: “I woke up, and it was like Christmas: I was a nervous wreck, but I was just so excited at the same time. Spencer said, “I’m so proud of you.” It was like he was wishing me well off to school: “Love you! Bye!” But surgery is a big deal. Before I went in, I was like, What if I don’t wake up? Oh, this is scary. Then I thought, I don’t care. If I don’t wake up, it’s worth it. I wanted it so badly.”

Campaign that makes sense..

This one hit me hard after reading about billboards all over the US that advertise breast implants.

Breast Implants on 20/20

69% of women with breast implants report health problems after implants. Last year, 30,000 women got their implants removed. These lawyers on this video got SO much money from the Dow trials because women were SO sick. Now, we have NO LEGAL OPTIONS. When I got implants, I signed away my rights and my health. I got sick and nobody can pay for it but me. It is very sad.
