SONYA-DYING FROM BREAST IMPLANTS

Donation protected
Something a lot of people do not know about me is that I have been struggling and sick for the past 7-9 years. I never knew what was wrong with me until now.  I'm extremely ill and knocking on death's door.

After seeing my new Endo Dr. in Daytona Beach, FL once I moved to Port Orange, he discovered that it is my breast implants that are "slowly poisoning me and going to kill me if I do not get them out.... and time is of the essence."

I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on primary care physicians, endocrinologists, allergists, neurologists, gynecologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, optometrists, nutritionists and the like, prescriptions, holistic treatments, organic foods & supplements. I've had every MRI, blood test and x-ray known to man. I have literally lived in the drs. offices over the past 9 years.

I was always sick with one thing or another always something wrong with me and I could never figure out why or what was wrong. Every year just getting worse and worse and more and more illnesses along the way.

Every test came back normal, drs. told me nothing was wrong with me and made me feel like a hypochondriac, yet I could feel deep down inside that I knew I was dying and I knew I was very sick, but no one would listen to me, no one would help me.

My Endo Dr. that I just met in July, 2016 has literally gave me a chance @ life because had he not told me my breast implants were making me sick, I still would just be sick as a dog today and not know why. No other doctor, over the last 9 years ever even brought it up as a possiblity that it could be my breast implants. I had no idea!

I now have Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Disease, incapacitated fatigue where I can barely get out of bed on some days, I can't work, I can't work out, I have blurry vision, I have severe muscle/joint pain that is most days unbearable, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, I am so weak I can barely stand up at times, I go nowhere, I do nothing, I am totally withdrawn from people, extreme nausea to the point of I can't even eat at all most days, migraines, brain fog, lack of concentration, short term memory loss, I can't focus, retention, and I'm constantly saying "I don't remember."  It's embarrassing and humilitating. I am completely debilitated right now.

My Endo Dr. has set me up with my breast explantation specialist in Georgia, who dedicates herself to helping women who are sick and/or dying from breast implants to help them get the implants removed and on the road back to recovery. I am due for my surgery in Nov., 2016 so any and all prayers are welcome and appreciated.

It is going to have great devastation on me as a woman, to have them removed, however, I do know my boobs do not define who I am as a person. I know that my character, compassion and the type of human being that I am on a daily basis is what defines me.

I decided to set up the GoFundMe account because so many of my ladies that I have found on my support group page are doing the same. We are all deathly ill.  I hope to raise enough money and I hope I can spread breast implant illness awareness. 

If it is in your heart to donate, thank you in advance, even $5 or $10 could make all the difference for me. Every little bit adds up and every penny counts.  

Ladies, please do not alter your bodies to conform to society. The breast implant surgeons don't tell you the ugly truth about how deadly these implants are, they don't tell you the illnesses you will incur, how sick you can get or how devastated it will make your life.

It's very hard for me to post this photo because I am a very vibrant, outgoing, social, bubbly, happy, hard-working, strong and an independent young woman.

I can't believe what these implants have done to me over the last 9 years. Just the last 4-6 mos., I have reached the near death stage. I know I am dying, I feel that I don't have much longer on this earth, I feel it and I know it. It is just my reality and it's frightening. I have got to get them removed.  

I could not figure out why I was so sick, why I could not work, why I had such anxiety, depression and panic attacks when I was never that girl, why I could barely stand up, why I had no energy and my fatigue was unbearable, why I had muscle and joint pain, why my arms and legs would go numb and tingle, why I lived in drs. offices and lived on tons of medications only to never get better and keep searching for answers because I knew I was not crazy.

I could not explain my migraines, my weight gain, my withdraw from people and society, my bubbly spirit was gone...... all of it, gone. I am at the point where I can barely get out of bed at this stage.

Thank God for my boyfriend, his family and my family because without their support I surely would not be able to keep dealing w/it. I am scared to death for November to come, but I am also so excited to get these toxic shit bags off my chest.

If I knew this is what was making me so sick, I would have never got them implanted and I could have had them removed permanently. I had ZERO idea.

If you want to read about how breast implants are killing women every second of every minute of every day go to healingbreastimplantillness.com  and read their stories.  Just Google silicone breast implant illness stories & we are all basically the same, sick and dying.  

These are real women, with real pain and real stories. All this time, drs made me feel like I was crazy, I was a hypochondriac, nothing was wrong with me (push through they said, don't think about it they said, go work out they said, mind over matter they said, all the tests are normal they said).  :((((((

I am not happy I have found the women I found on my support group website, because they are all suffering. This support group is full of sick women, but what I am thankful for is that it does help me to validate what I feel and how sick I am and it is not in my head, I'M SICK!

Drs. dismiss you like you are nothing and make you think you are just weak and crazy, when in fact, it's they that just don't know what they are talking about, they aren't educated enough to figure it out and this is why people die of unknown causes.

Until I found my support group on Facebook, my endocrinologist and my surgeon, I was just about to give up, my hope was diminished and I was fading. These people combined have given me just enough strength to get me to the finish line. If I can just hold on until November, my healing can begin.

I will not be 100% ever again even once they are taken out because the damage the implants have done is irreversible, but I can get better where I have some degree of life left and no further damage can be done. It may take 6 mos, it may take a year to totally detox and climb my way out of this shit hole, and I may only get to 75% better, but at least I have a chance now, and other illnesses will not come upon me because of the implants.

I am scared to death to fly to Atlanta to a city where I know no one, where I have never been, strangers all around, have to fly back home in so much pain with drains coming out of me and how embarrassing it is all going to be, the struggle that is ahead of me.... but my alternative is death. I am LITERALLY dying ...that is where I am right now, I am dying.

I hope people become aware. I want to spread knowledge and awareness. If I can help one person not to get breast implants, if I can help one person to get them removed or help them figure out that all the illnesses & symptoms they have are due to breast implants, then I feel I have done something. 

Please understand, this is not our fault!  There are people dieing that have had breat implants put in, not only for cosmetic reasons, but because they had breast cancer or breast deformities or the like, and they are all suffering right along with me.  Does it make their fault?  No!  None of us knew the dangers, or of course, we would not have elected to have the implants put in our bodies.  It's not right that this is still being done even today @ this very moment.  It's dispicable!!

I could really use your donation.  It wasn't easy to put myself out here and tell my story.  Please be aware and tell the women in your life if they are even considering this implant surgery, DO NOT DO IT!!!

I'd rather spend money on my health and surgery to get better than to have my family need to spend money on my funeral to bury me, because I have reached the point where I can no longer fake it.... I'm not fine, I'm not ok, I'm done, my body is dragging.

I have been through so much sickness over the past 9 years, one thing after the next, that has almost killed me, and my body is exhausted. If I was properly educated by the plastic surgeon that any of my illness could be a "potential" factor (any of it), I would have NEVER altered my body! NEVER!

It is not mandated by the FDA that these surgeons inform you of all the horrible things that can happen, so the surgeons do not tell you. I had no idea, I really had no idea of how sick these implants can make you or the harm that they do to your body.

I don't know how these surgeons sleep at night......literally, they implant these foreign objects into a woman's body and essentially they take their life at that very moment because if the implants don't kill you right away, they hijack your body and your just mysteriously sick for years on end for reasons no one knows and you either eventually figure it out like my endo dr. did for me or you never figure it out and your constantly sick or you die.

I will fight this fight, once again I will battle, I will beat this. Thank you for your time and please spread the word and save a life. God Bless!!! (DO NOT ALTER YOUR BODY)!!!!!

I really hope people will donate.  I'm always confused why people hesitate to donate especially if it's a long-time friend or family member, so I hope you can spare a little to help A LOT.  I will continue to post on my Facebook wall my progress, awareness websites and any information I can find to deter any woman from ever wanting to do this EVER!!!

I am staying positive and I am focusing on my happy ending, because I will have my happy ending and I will get well!! I will beat this and overcome it. I WILL!!
