In 1985 I got breast implants, silicone. I was never sick a day in my life before this. A year after I got the implants, all of the hair on my body fell out and my kids had to take care of me. I was diagnosed with 40 diseases that were silicone related. One of them was connective tissue disease. At the time I had no idea what it was. Now at almost 64 I am fully aware of what this disease is and how it makes you feel. Those breast implant ruined my life and I have so much pain right now and no way to get rid of it because surgery doesn't help. It's too much.

Hi, @cvsnow you had breast implants and are now diagnosed with 40 diseases that are related to the silicon? Correct? How awful. I’m hoping you have a good doctor who is treating you! You also say you’re in a lot of pain, but surgery doesn’t help. Are you referring to surgery to remove the implants and get the silicon out of your body? Gosh, I’ve got so many questions, but I don’t want to overload you!
Can you tell me a little more about yourself and these diseases you’ve developed?
