I thought I was crazy! I am so glad that this page is here. I could begin to name my symptoms but am afraid I won’t stop. I got the easier implant in November of 2010 and have been a incomplete person every since. Unfortunatly I have not had medical insurance since April of 2011. My husband decided not to extend his military contract and with that position went my health insurance. As I just got medical insurance this month, I have been thinking its time to see what can be done. I will try to list a few of my tragic life changes: cronic fatigue, debilitating migranes, lower back pain that nothing makes better, clotting the size of silver dollars every month, shakes in the hands and the worst of all is insomnia. I am afraid to go to the doctor with all of this as just thinking about all of this makes me seem nuts. I hope I can find the strength to speak this all out loud to someone other than my husband. If anyone can offer advice on how to start the conversation I would appreciate the assistance.
