Help me identify and treat unexplained seizures
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Brittany and I have toxic implants in my body. When I was 21 years old, I worked for a surgery center and had relatively easy access to plastic surgery. What I didn’t have easy access to, was knowledge on how these implants would impact my overall health. Within the first year - one of the implants ruptured and leaked saline into my body. I had to go in to get them redone. At this point, I started having unexplained seizures. I had never experienced anything like that pre breast augmentation and it was beginning to be a regular occurring thing. Followed by intolerances to different foods, brain fog, memory loss, inflammation, body aches etc. From the outside looking in, I am a healthy person. I make conscious choices on how to nourish my body with food, movement, community etc. but this one piece of me feels incongruent. Having already paid for two surgeries out of pocket, and the financial strain of being a single person with various contract jobs and no full time employment or medical insurance, being able to save money at this time has been extremely challenging. I’ve had to put groceries and gas on my credit cards, which has made my credit score suffer, and continues to be a challenge even to stay on top of my payments. I am worried about putting this surgery off any longer as I am now 34 years old and things aren’t looking any better. In fact, I feel more physical discomfort than ever before. Carrying around foreign objects inside my body, close to vital organs….it’s unsettling. So I’m humbling myself before my community to ask for help. I so badly want these out of my body and to take my health back. Surgery costs are just around $8,500 for explant with capsule removal (the tissue that forms around the implant). I know recovery is going to be a challenge as well, but am hoping to be able to continue to work to support myself afterward. Any donations are so greatly appreciated. I will be updating this with any info along the way.
UPDATE 5/23
This week I had another appointment with a surgeon about explant surgery. Unfortunately we are unable to proceed with surgery before I have clearance from a neurologist. I'm currently weeding through the sea of providers trying to find someone that aligns with my values. The brain is tricky and seizures are unique and vary. It's hard to diagnose them, and I've been managing them well over the last 10+ years so it's hard to pinpoint what the issue is. Neurologists are also pricey - so I am currently utilizing the collected funds to aid in my search for answers as to what is happening with my brain to cause the seizures. To top it all off, my car was stolen last week and I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to purchase a vehicle so I can drive myself to these expensive appointments and am feeling a little overwhelmed. Thankful for a really incredible support system near and far of friends and family helping me stay grounded and persevere through all this. I know there's a purpose and I'll come out on the other side - but right now I'm buckling in for this journey through wellness in my body and mind. I'll continue to share updates as things progress - thank you again for your donations. <3
