Event Description
What i know now to be breast implant illness began 5-6 months after i had augmentation with smooth saline implants.I was a fit, active, mother of four, very health conscious and began noticing debilitating fatigue and joint pain.As a nurse practitioner and having a physician as a husband we realized immediately that it was likely an autoimmune condition.Testing was done immediately as well as steroid treatment and then other immune modulating drugs.I became very sensitive to many foods, smells, lights, sounds even.I've suffered with pain and feeling like i'm honestly not sure that i can get through most days due to fatigue.I continue to work, but have such horrible brain fog that it worries me.I am going to schedule an explant and go through detox in hopes to feel better.I wish these side effects and possibility for this happening would have been explained to me.Not just that, but i hope women can know how severe it can be and how often it is occurring.Rx meds: none, still have implants as date hasn't been scheduled quite yet for explant.
