International celebrity points breast implants as cause of ‘Hashimoto’s disease’

Can a breast implant cost you serious health problems in the long run?

Apparently, this was the problem that ‘Strictly’ star and RuPaul Drag Race judge Michelle Visage secretly had to go through.

In a report by Mirror, Visage, who had breast implants at the age of 21, has been battling Hashimoto’s disease, which is a thyroid problem that causes her hair to fall out in clumps and is the cause of her suffering from crippling panic attacks.

Symptoms of having this disease include fatigue, weight gain, depression and joint pain.

Although there was no confirmation from her doctor that it was the cause, she said she felt better when she had it removed.

Visage documented her journey with “Breast Implant Illness” as she also found a Facebook group where over 50,000 women had shared the same symptoms from their breast implants.

Now, Visage claimed that after removing it, the thyroid nodule had gone smaller as she’s currently recovering.
