Event Description

I had mentor silicone implants in 2012.I was in a car accident in 2014.Since 2014, i have gained 50 pounds, had hair loss, hand tremors, memory loss, chronic fatigue, brain fog, slowed response time with my hands, chest, neck and back pain.I had a 3-d mammogram and everything looked fine.I was convinced that the implants had ruptured even though it didn't show up.I had them taken out.Both of the implants had holes.I am convinced that all of my problems stemmed from the holes in them.I was fine for the first two years.
