Short YouTube video transcript in which two speakers discuss cognitive symptoms associated with breast implant illness (often described as 'brain fog'), particularly short-term memory loss (e.g., forgetting a child's name or misplacing keys) and associated low energy. Speakers emphasize that standard lab markers may not show inflammation, leading some to dismiss patients' symptoms.
What do you find in the brains of women with breast implant illness?
So. So, like, I was upset when I would hear people be critical of the patients by saying, what. What the hell was brain fog?
It's so real.
And I was like. When someone from the client side said this to me for the first time, I said, okay, so I just need to understand exactly what that means to you. What is. What is that? What are you describing to me? And they said, well, I have trouble remembering my kid's name.
Yeah, God, I remember that.
And then he said, I can't find my keys. Sometimes. I'm like, well, okay, that's short term memory loss. So if you just convey to the. To me, as a provider, if you say short term memory loss, I understand that. I don't know what the hell brain fog is. I do now because I see it all the. I understand it from the client side now, but back then I was like, oh, so it's just short term memory.
Loss plus a lack of energy.
I think for us, like, I want to provide as much data in science that we can apply to this problem so it's not viewed as. It's in someone's head. It's not viewed as being hypochondriac or anything of that nature. So I feel like whatever, you know, we can do to help the women who have this issue, I feel like that's, you know, and I don't charge anybody to do this.
Okay, so what that means is that when you have breast implant illness, the markers don't change to show inflammation.
No.
So then people say, well, on a lab test, you don't have inflammation, therefore you're making it up, therefore you're crazy.
Right?
