You are in the right place and you will be able to get help here. Dr. Kolb is a member of this support group, and has made occasional posts.

All of the symptoms you describe are classic silicone induced illness symptoms.

Dr. Kolb's e-mail address is DrKolb@..., and you can visit her website at www.plastikos.com

I know you will get excellent care from her. Please keep us informed of your outcome!

Subject: questions about Dr. Kolb

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows Dr. Kolb's email address. I am really interested in explantation asap. My doctor's told me for the longest not to put myself through another surgery. I had cervical neck fusion at C5 and C6 last year. I have been in chronic pain for 6 years and had saline implants for 12 years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in October, but I am only getting worse. I am bedridden most of the time and I have a 13 and a 7 year old who need me. I was curious how long it takes to get on her waiting list, because I wish I could have it before my children went back to school. All of the doctor's never say anything about my breast implants having anything to do with the fibro. I know better, I am an assistant professor of nursing and would do anything to do better. Basically, I am not able to work anymore because of pain and lack of energy. All the signs, joint pain and swelling, memory problems, lack of concentration, clumsy, and extreme fatigue. I just want to have them out so I will know that I am trying everything possible. Thanks for all your concern, I pray for all of you that have it as bad or much worse than me. Thanks most of all for taking the time to listen and write back because I know you all feel like crap. Take care!

I also am a RN and had implants which were removed in Feb this yr. I'm sure someone has given you Dr. Kolb's address already, as I have just completed a move cross country and today is the first time I've checked my email in a wk. But just in case, it is www.plastikos.com.

Do you live in GA?

Please email me personally at Cvrn8@....

e,

Thanks so much for writing. I have an appt. with Dr. Kolb July 23rd for

explantation. she called me personally and I was very impressed. It sounds

like you feel much better. I hope it helps my fibro and I will be relieved to

have them out. Can you tell me what to expect? What does your chest look like

now? And about how long did you feel bad? Did you have drains and how long

were you in the hospital? Thank you so much for writing and I am so glad you

are liking ton. I have visited there and I love it.

Take care,
