A California woman named Lauren Wasser is sharing her life story in order to prevent other women to go through the ordeal she has gone through all because of a common product.
Back in 2012, this model went to the hospital because she experienced flu like symptoms that wouldn’t go away. Sadly, once doctors ran tests, they determined that it wasn’t flu that caused Lauren discomfort but toxic shock syndrome caused by bacterial toxins.
It was determined that the cause which led to the infection was a tampon. If left for long hours, tampons can cause this infection which leads to a toxic shock syndrome or TTS.
Sadly, Lauren was in coma for over a week and doctors were forced to amputate her leg because of the infection upon awakening. At the time, she was only 24 years old.
Ever since this tragic event, Lauren made it her goal to raise awareness and fighting a legal battle against Kotex Natural Balance, the brand of tampons that caused her to react so severely.
In a few months, I’m inevitably going to have my other leg amputated. There’s nothing I can do about it. But what I can do is help make sure that this doesn’t happen to others,” Lauren tells The Daily Mail.
“Considering that the vagina is the most absorbent part of a woman’s body and is a gateway to many of our vital organs, it is crucial that consumers know the reality of what could happen to them,” she writes in InStyle.
Following the second amputation, Lauren posed alongside Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, who also had her legs amputated.
“Life is about to be so different, again! I’m in great spirits though and ready for my next chapter. ???♀️??♂️ // photo by my love @camraface,” she wrote in the caption.
We are cheering for Lauren who is determined to live her life to the fullest regardless of the obstacles and the pain she was forced to go through.
People who have this line on their hand are very special.
Palmistry, practiced in China and India over 5,000 years ago, is a technique that predicts the future by reading the lines on the hand. Among these lines, one is said to bring luck to those who have it.
The Main Lines: The hand has three main lines: the heart line, the head line, and the life line. These lines change over time, reflecting a person’s personality, experiences, and attitudes.
The Life Line: “The life line is a representation of life and its main events.” It starts between the thumb and index finger and runs around the thumb. A long, clear life line indicates stability, while an interrupted one suggests major life events or risks.
The Heart Line: “If it is long, straight, and well-defined…you are going to (or are already living) a beautiful and long love story.” A short heart line may suggest selfishness, while an interrupted one warns of heartbreak or a health issue.
The Head Line: This line reflects mental and intellectual abilities. “Straight…the mind is rather Cartesian,” while a sinuous line suggests intuitive thinking.
The Luck Line (Angel Line): Unlike the others, this rare line starts at the wrist and runs to the middle finger. It’s often tied to professional success and social achievements. “Many believe that people who have this line are very lucky,” as it’s believed to signify a guardian angel watching over them.
