My experience with breast implant illness | Cheyenne Burnett | TEDxWoodinville

[@faithcortellis]

The doctors dismissing her symptoms as "just getting older" or "motherhood" made my blood boil. We deserve better healthcare!

[@melrobertsreal]

Imagine feeling like you literally might dye and being told your symptoms are in your head. That's an INSANE level of gaslighting.

[@dessatada]

I had no clue this was even a thing. Her story is wild. Makes me wonder how many other women are suffering in silence.

[@jacquiechandler2031]

Blessings to you Cheyenne for speaking truth to power

[@kexinan]

I can't get over how much pain she was in, the description of how excruciating it was to give hugs was so brutal

[@snrism]

Powerful talk! I was fortunate to see this live.

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you so much my friend!

[@evewhitehead8722]

I had to educate my doctor about BII! I had to do my own research!

[@AnastasiaCostcalla]

Love how she emphasized trusting your gut when something feels off. That inner voice is so important!

[@FreesbyFrog]

Honestly if anything this makes a lot of sense. We haven't exactly been careful with the things we use to make cosmetic products and I feel like when it comes to women in particular a lot of safety measures are overlooked

[@Jet.ski.lover.13]

I went through the same thing for 4 years, finally removed my implants 4 months ago and I feel so much better now. I had over 40 symptoms and they all disappeared after surgery. All my Drs told me it was all in my head. Thank you so much for sharing your story!! You are not alone.

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you for sharing your experience too! The more we speak up the bigger difference we can make!

[@CorinnaStoefflBeingInAwareness]

I love the courage you show by talking about your struggle with your illness. What a journey! what a tremendous effort. Thank you for sharing!

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you so so much for your kinds words Corinna!

[@eva-singer]

Oh I love the emphasis on solidarity and doing it together. That's something womens health needs more of

[@beckymrichard]

There are so many of us. Thank you for being our voice. 🌈❤️

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you for your love and support Becky!!!!!

[@vickycristena]

Sharing with my sister who is looking at this surgery

[@almashrewsbury]

Wow this really makes sense of some stuff one of my friends has been experiencing, sending this to her right away

[@juicystar1370]

This is genuinely scary!!! Especially bcause I've never heard anything about it but as soon as I've clicked on this talk there are so many others on the side about the same thing!!

[@sarahhouldcroft3065]

OMG that was amazing - I had no idea such an illness existed, it was a real eye opener, thank you for sharing your story.

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you so much for watching Sarah!

[@MelindaTelford-b2l]

You are an inspiration and so brave to listen and trust yourself. So happy that you are feeling better and empowering others to do the same! Love you!

[@explantsecrets]

You are too kind, thank you so much!

[@explantsecrets]

I LOVE YOU BACK!

[@explantsecrets]

So incredibly grateful to see this talk go live, thank you!

[@roxanav.6313]

So grateful to be able to listen to your story. Thank you for taking time to talk about what you went through!

[@explantsecrets]

@@roxanav.6313 thank you so much for your kind comment! I am thrilled to hear it helped you in some way!

[@bella_burnett2597]

It is so amazing that you get to share your story! So proud of you!

[@raulascaso]

wow wow wow, thats vulnerable

[@IAmTheCuddlyBeast]

Feeling very thankful there are women like this advocating for others who may not have any idea this is even an issue

[@Bondefam]

You are a powerhouse and a disruptor for equity for women!

[@kingbrantley]

Man I had no idea implants could be so toxic for the human body... it makes me wonder what other things are common practice that are actually really bad for us.

[@_mama_tea_6590]

So glad she's speaking up about this. We need more awareness around this topic.

[@unlockyourself-love3326]

You are truly inspiring and I can’t wait to share your message! So proud of you for listening to YOU to YOUR inner voice! ❤cheers to health, cheers to healing, and cheer to YOU!

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you so so much for your kind words, and for sharing! The more women who know they are not alone in this the better!

[@catriona-walsh]

I think the saddest part is that she didn't even feel any more confident after getting them before all the symptoms kicked off. It doesn't seem fair that women are made to feel like they aren't good enough and then sold this lie that does nothing to make them feel better.

[@bethnorcross3431]

Cheyenne - such an important topic, so honest and compelling. Thank you!

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you so much for your love and support Beth!

[@sammyllee]

I've heard implants can also rupture and leak silicone into your body...

[@TribeFearless]

Oh wow hearing her talk about the pain she was in just giving someone a hug was brutaI. I can't imagine how terrible that must have felt

[@explantsecrets]

Thank you so much. It was tough but the good news is, two years post explant surgery and detox and I am hugging EVERYONE! Healing is possible!

[@savannahdiego]

I'll never get over the way Doctors just don't take women's health seriously. It's outrageous

[@pablocortez6960]

Okay my eyes bugged out of my head around the 8:00 mark. Do doctors really say those kinds of things to women?

[@explantsecrets]

ALL THE TIME!!!!

[@pablocortez6960]

@@explantsecrets that's crazy man I can't imagine how frustrating that would be

[@julestempest]

The speed at which her health declined after getting implants is terrifying. Really makes you think about what we put in our bodies.

[@iamnotjustintrudeau7850]

The high cost of vanity

[@anonisanonymous]

There's a lot of information starting to come out about how harmful everyday womens products actually are... skin care, cosmetics, even sanitary items and now this? It's a little disturbing really

[@alexBBmichaels]

Not surprised tbh you're putting silicone inside of you and close to the heart as well

[@eric-tran]

Wow sounds like that doctor was gaslighting her hard. Kind of sad to think a lot of women have probably gone through the same stuff

[@explantsecrets]

Millions of us have... and still are!

[@taylorgiffon8255]

Wow my ex used to complain about so many of the same symptoms. Would it be weird for me to send this to her?

[@explantsecrets]

NOT AT ALL! Please DO!

[@MochaLocha-us2in]

Very nice 😂😂
