Help cover medical costs for Breast Explant Surgery

I had breast implant surgery in 2012, and within 8 months, I started getting illnesses back-to-back that lasted two years:

• Mono that turned into

• Laryngitis that turned into

• Tonsillitis that resulted in getting my tonsils removed

• Boil infection in a lymph node under my arm on my left side

• Appendicitis/ER that turned into nothing after 5 days in the hospital, and 2 days on morphine

• Severe overall crippling body pain that shot my work reliability and caused me to look into alternative medical solutions.

By the 3rd year of being in and out of doctors offices, I was diagnosed with:

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Fibromyalgia

• Elhers Danlos

• Chronic back pain

• Symptoms included: extreme body fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, joint pain, muscle pain, extreme body temperature shifts, dizziness, nausea, increased anxiety and depression, random skin rashes/psoriasis, body inflammation, high sensitivity/pain reaction to being touched and more.

In 2016, I started getting pain in my left breast anytime I tried to sleep on my left side. Enough to make me volunteer for several mammograms, ultrasounds, testings, and consultations with multiple doctors, including my original surgery doctor. Everything came back normal. I was told my pain/condition would be life-long. Since then I've been adding ammo to my own "remedy cabinet" to pull from to help my body cope better. Yoga, weight training, vegetable juices catered to anti-inflamation, prescription pills, natural plants, essential oil rubs, numbing pads, heating pads, topical creams, eating clean, vitamins, breathing techniques, massages, etc.. I know there isn't just ONE thing will fix my pain but used together it gives my body the best chance at managing the pain and side affects. After researching breast implant illness online for a few years, I saw so many of my symptoms in the stories and came to the conclusion that removing my implants could be highly beneficial for reducing my pain.

All funds raised go towards full capsule removal surgery of both implants (Dr removes everything that the implant attached to and anywhere else it might have moved to from it's original location). Removing them completely and not replacing them will give my body the chance to heal from the toxins of the implants.
