Challenges followed by hope...

04/09/22-Challenges still exist; however, I am choosing not to focus on them as much as part of neural retraining. We are having some difficulties finding someone who can deal with the issues in our home, but we did find a local business who will install a PureAir system directly into our HVAC system, so my husband scheduled the service.

Over the last two days, I met and spoke with some amazing ladies, who are also breast implant illness (BII) survivors. One introduced me as a victim of BII, which I did not like. I do not think of myself as a victim, but as a resilient woman and temporarily “wounded healer.” One of my infusion nurses introduced me as Tammy, the Wounded Healer, to tell my story to another patient one time. One of the ladies I met is also a wounded healer and is now part of my healing team. “M” had breast implants and became very ill as well, experiencing some of the same things I did. She is still healing, but has come very far. She also acquired MCAS, but it was unclear if it was from her implants or Covid. Anyway, I underwent a hyperbaric chamber treatment and ionic foot bath today and feel amazing-”M” provided these treatments today and also turned me on to a supplement for MCAS that I had not heard of, so I will try it. The other resilient woman I met two days ago “C” told me about what the hyperbaric treatments did for her and I was sold. Speaking with “C” was like talking to someone I have known for a long time even though we just met.

I think people show up in our paths when we need them and I have now gained two friends.
