A woman's 10-year mystery illness turned out to be a result of mould in her breast implants. Melissa Lima, the ex-wife of the late baseball player Jose Lima, turned to TikTok with her harrowing story to spread awareness of breast implant illness (BII). Symptoms of BII include, but are not limited to, "fatigue, problems with memory or concentration ('brain fog'), joint and muscle pain, hair loss, weight changes, and anxiety/depression," according to the FDA. Captioned "this is your sign", Lima opened up about how her body insecurities prompted her to get a breast augmentation in 2002 in a TikTok post.

The viral clip, which has racked up 5.3 million views, showed a montage of Lima's swollen face and ankles. "After 100's of doctors and still no answer, I just gave up," she added. "As a single mom, I couldn't get out of bed to cook for my boys and would often wonder if they would be better off w/o me." @melissalima713 This is your sign. #breastimplantillnes Lima finally had her breast implants removed in 2020. She recalled how her "face and eyes literally changed within hours" and how she felt like herself again. Thousands of fellow TikTokers flocked to the comments section, with some thanking Lima for sharing her story. One said: "I’m soooo glad you shared your story when you did! Made me think twice and now I will never get mine done! So glad you're doing so much better!" Another person claiming to have worked in a pathology lab said they'd witnessed "enough horror stories to keep me from ever getting them". Meanwhile, one woman said she went through a similar experience. She said: "Got mine out 3 years ago. No more BII since I did. It’s much worse than woman still know or understand."

McDonald's workers are seemingly over TikTok's latest Grimace Shake trend taking the platform by storm after one person shared the deadly silence when they ordered five of the viral drink. For the blissfully unaware, the popular fast-food chain released a limited-edition purple milkshake to celebrate the 52nd birthday of the purple character's birthday. TikTok users went on to do their thing by turning the beverage into a bizarre trend. Like most things online, it appears to have no purpose and is rather random – but still, it didn't stop the trend from taking off. In fact, #grimaceshake has racked up a staggering 142 million views on the platform and continues to grow. It sees consumers drinking the purple shake and then pretending to be poisoned to death with a decorative crime scene surrounding them. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter @kale1ay Bro pls domt get the grimace shake #viral #meme #grimaceshake #grimaceshakemeal #grimaceshakememe #grimacememe #mcdonadlsmeme #skit A recent video has seemingly gave a glimpse into how McDonald's workers feel about the trend – and by the looks of things, they're tired. The customer was heard asking whether the drink had to be ordered as part of a meal. When he discovered they could be ordered on their own, he asked for five. In response, the worker fell silent. "The silence was so loud," the on-screen text read. "McDonalds tired of this." One fellow TikToker commented: "I tried ordering it the other day and the lady said, "It's not stocked" while there was an ad, "Now Serving the Grimace Meal!" I just was silent." Meanwhile, another added: "No, because I ordered a Grimace Shake and the girl legit sighed in annoyance." @thattiredchonker Mcdonalds tired of this 😭 #fyp #grimace #grimaceshake #funny #silence #mcdonalds The chain have since responded to the trend with a lighthearted tweet. "Meee pretending i don't see the grimace shake trendd," the purple character wrote on the official McDonald's account. Have your say in our news democracy.

Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenksy has said Russia is not in control of Bakhmut. Speaking at the G7 summit in Japan, Mr Zelenksy said the city, in Ukaine’s eastern Donetsk-Oblast region, “is not occupied by [the] Russian Federation as of today”. “We don’t have simple questions any more, as well as we don’t have simple answers,” he added. “Because we have a very complicated neighbour, who is a criminal and terrorist, a complicated enemy. “We are keeping young, fighting thanks to the courage of our people, our warriors, and thanks to our cleverness. We are not throwing people to die.” His comments come after Russian president Vladimir Putin congratulated his troops after the Wagner Group claimed its mercenaries seized the key battle city on Saturday afternoon. Speaking alongside US president Joe Biden at the G7, Mr Zelensky said the Russians had destroyed "everything" in Bakhmut. In his own remarks, Mr Biden said Putin will not break the revolve of the West in its support for Ukraine.
