Erica had breast implants for over 10 years before developing severe brain fog and memory loss that her family noticed. After two pregnancies, she couldn't get up from the floor and decided to have them removed, suspecting implant illness was behind her cognitive decline.
Over 10 years.
Two.
74.
Hence sharing my story. And like I told you before we jumped on, I honestly am so open because I saw so much on your social media and others sharing their story and I was one of those that was in denial of having breast implant illness. I had my implants in for over 10 years and I know I have shared on my Instagram, but since I sure a lot of people that have not seen my Instagram will be watching this. I had two back to back pregnancies and I was just under the impression that I was just a tired mom that was having just brain fog. I wasn't sleeping, I was breastfeeding. If I wasn't breastfeeding, I was pumping and I just couldn't figure out why my memory was fading. My husband became very worried about my memory and my brain fog. And I will never forget the day. And oh God, I always get so emotional when I talk about it because that's when I knew I needed to get my implants out. Because my mom's 74 and there was one day I could not get up off our living room floor. My back was just. And every day and I was like walking hunched over and my mom's like, Erica, I am 74. This is not okay. There's something wrong with you. And I got to meet her at dinner.
