Urgent Surgery Needed: Breast Implant Illness

My Breast Implant Illness Story

Six years ago, my health began to unravel in ways I couldn’t explain. What started as small, manageable issues quickly spiraled into a cascade of debilitating symptoms. I’ve experienced severe Raynaud’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flare-ups, vertigo so intense it leaves me bedridden, mental confusion, hair loss, and days where I’m unable to drive. At one point, doctors suspected multiple sclerosis (MS), and testing even revealed arsenic poisoning in my body.

It took years to piece it all together and realize that my breast implants were the root cause of my suffering. What I thought would boost my confidence ended up stealing my health, energy, and sense of normalcy. These implants, meant to enhance my appearance, have become a daily reminder of the price I’ve paid for chasing an ideal I didn’t need.

Looking back, I know now my body was beautifully and perfectly made by God. I deeply regret altering it. Breast implant illness (BII) is real and incredibly serious, far beyond what many people understand. It’s not just about discomfort—it’s about battling life-altering health issues that disrupt your ability to live fully.

Now, I’m at a point where I must raise money immediately for an explant surgery to reclaim my health and life. This is urgent and life-changing for me. If my story can encourage someone to reconsider implants or seek answers for their symptoms, then it’s worth sharing. True beauty comes from honoring the body God gave us, and no cosmetic enhancement is worth risking your health.
