Update on me....

Hi everybody!

It's been a few weeks since I've been on. My last post I indicated that I was going to be removing my breast implants due to some issues I believe I've been having.

I think I was right. The capsules that surround the implants lit up like a Christmas tree due to silicone shedding off the outside of the silicone shell into my capsule. Not good. The pathologist said my capsules were thin and degraded, they looked uneven and unhealthy. Connective tissue and muscle that was scraped off ribs looked atrophied. Like my body has been attacking itself. No wonder I'm so darn tired. I started having fatigue issues about 6 months AFTER implants, but never in a million years thought it would be my implants. The most important thing here is that the pathologist had a dark field microscope and I asked specifically for an evaluation of my blood/tissue that he had. There was no evidence of spirochetes. Not that I'm entirely out of the woods, but this is very good news to hear.

So, here I am, almost 3 weeks post surgery and I've gone backwards on my thyroid meds... just don't seem to need that much anymore. My inflammation is gone in my feet and ankles. I'm still a little fatigued and sore of course, I figure it will be another 2 weeks before I'm fully feeling back to myself. He said it will probably take me at least a year to start feeling better.

I also have urine test results back and I test quite high for aluminum. I'm just started a detox for that and will continue that regimen, 3 times a week for 45 days.

I also just learned that I have LS (Lichen Sclerosis)... you can google it... I have NONE of the symptoms that others normally have (white areas, dark spots, severe itching, uncomfortable feeling)... it's an ulcer type of auto immune disease that typically attacks the "private" area. I also tested positive for MCTD (lupus/RA cross over type of thing).. then later tested negative for it. I think my immune system is all sorts of jacked up due to these toxic bags I had in my chest. Silicone destroying my capsules, add in a highly toxic mmr/flu shots last year and viruses... perfect brew for immune system failure.

For right now, I'm just going to hang back and see how things go and continue on my detox plan. I see a hormone/functional med doc first week in oct and pushed back my LLMD lady until mid-October.

I'm getting lots of rest and lots of water.... will update in a month when I have more news.

You all are and will continue to be in my prayers.

Blessings-

Lostlymie - I'm glad you are already feeling better since you've had the implants removed.

Look forward to your next post.

You're right - we sometimes panic about a couple of months...but in the big scheme of things...it's not a long time...really.

Maybe now that you've had those implants removed, any autoimmune reactions will stop...
