Illusion of Symmetry

 Hello Sisters

   I just found and joined this forum/group and wish everyone here wellness in body & mind.  I'm one boob without Reconstruction.  There's no way I'm having sugery on the side of my body with no lymph nodes.  I'm not willing to gamble with lymphedema if an infection were to occur.

   I have two recommendations:

     1.  That swollen feeling under the arm and the dead feeling in the armpit area for me has been almost completely relieved with the use of Sublingual Vitamin B12.  We all get nerve damage in these surgeries and B12 is supposed to support nerve health.  Because you let them melt under your tongue, the absorption is high.  I can only say that I feel it worked for me.  It's not expensive and it's worth a try if your doctor agrees. 

     2.  If you are trying to create the illusion of symmetry in your wardrobe, I just ran across a sweet little tool for that purpose.  They are called Bosom Buttons and are basically a little crystal pin that you can use for closing and holding tops together a little higher up. They eliminate the need to try to "hide" a safety pin. I can pull and drape fabric with them and even just use 2 or 3 of them as a brooch to create an off center focal point.  They come in quite a few colors and are sold on the Bosom Button web site and also some catalogues.

 My Best to Everyone,
