Though the medical industry has tried to silence them, a Facebook group gives the women the opportunity to share their stories.Rachel Coloyan screamed one morning in February 2016 as her body began to shake.

The members are convinced they have a condition dubbed breast implant illness, despite being disclaimed by most medical professionals and having little to no credible science to support it.

Eric Wright, M.D., a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Little Rock who performs as many as 10 explantations a week, says he has discussed the illness with fellow physicians. “We all feel a bit stuck in the mind-set that says, ‘If this truly exists, there has got to be data to support it,’” he says. “There are no randomized control or double-blind studies that we know of, but I don’t think that discredits the claims.
