>I'm not sure about my records. I mean, I distinctly remember having

to get the papers as proof for the Dow Corning settlement-I had to

mail them in to them. I can't remember if I had to mail them the

originals or not, but I do remember having to pay the hospital to

get them, so they may have been the originals.

Rogene, are there any other recommended surgeons here in Memphis

Tennessee that are on our " list " of surgeons? That one you gave me

is my last resort-I didn't like the way they talked to me at all-I

just felt like they would screw up my surgery or something, just so

I would have to get more surgery. I don't want to call my

insurance company to ask them if they will cover explants, because

they may drop me or something. If worse comes to absolute worst, I

am going to try a few places and try to get a loan, and then file

bankrupty again-that's the only thing I can think of. It's been 4

years since my last bankruptcy, so I still have about 6 more years I

think before I can file again....

Mine is on one side of my head-my right side. It's constant, and does

not throb-it's more like a heavy pressure, and I've had

blurry " floaters " in my eyes recently too. I've had this headache for

a couple of months now-it never goes away.

So Shari have the headaches,stiff neck and shoulder pain gone away with explant ?

[Guest guest]

Leyna, This is the only plastic surgeon recommended in Tennessee . . . Maybe someone lurking can recommend another doctor. I can understand why you were so put off by his nurse . . . but if Dr. Shanklin recommends him, he knows how to remove implants properly. That's what's important!

Rogene,

So his name IS Dr. Wallace?

I called almost every surgeon in Memphis, and he was

the last one I called. The nurse off till Monday, and

I left my number.

I'm almost positive that this is the same lady I

talked to a few weeks ago-the one who had implants and

who said they are perfectly safe and that I'd be

totally deformed if I got them taken out without

replacements or at least a lift.

No, I'm not thrilled about calling her back,

especially since I hung the phone up on her before

pretty much. I just want these out as soon as

possible and hope I can get a loan QUICKLY.

Can anyone here recommend a loan company that will

work with bankruptcies?

well - no but my situation is a little different so don't be scared... I am not positive my capsules were removed as I never saw them... also I did not get drains which was a big no-no with me as mine were sooo contaminated.... my situation was a little different as my shells had deteriorated and a large portion was missing (I had textured 30% were missing)so this is in my body somewhere plus I didn't do any rapid detoxing afterwards as I should have. If all these things had happened I think I would not be near as sick.... I have an appt w/ Dr. Kolb next week to see the extent of my contamination -we will see them.... I have feeling after her treatments to remove all the mold and bacteria in my system this may change things tremendously... if I need another surgery I will do it...I don't care - whatever I need to get this mess out. This is why it is so important to get it done right the first time. I'll check back after a few months of treatment and we will see then. I know based on all I have read I have candida overgrowth something awful... this causes headaches, bloating, white tongue, yeast infections, etc - I have most every symptom listed on the site. the doc also believes I have sever neurotoxic illness... this may have lead to my neuro issues... seizures, etc - we will see.... I haven't done much as I was worried about $$ - I should have just taken out a loan years ago and done this and I'll bet I would be much better now - I just kept waiting for it to happen on its own which wasn't so smart my part as with the crap I had inside of me it has just kept breeding and growing making things worse.

... I look considerably worse then I did two years ago... gained weight - look pregnant.. skin looks horrible.. constant fever and infection... dizzy all the time... hair is falling out...brain fog is 100 times worse...yeast infections constantly... stomach always hurts...can't sleep... night sweats are horrible, seizures now, skin & hair is dry and cracking, have a horrible temper - uncontrollable anger fits, & more all this is new

I keep you posted

I an not sure as well

as far as the medications go... I have changed that around considerably... I do not take near as many medications as were prescribed to me in the past for my pain and such....Although I have never taken the amounts or types of meds that I have seen some others take that have had trouble healing here as I would never let it get that far....I started doing other treatments like getting the nerve blocks in my head as opposed to taking pain pills, etc.... I told my doc a while back - I said "I can not continue to take all of this crap - you have to offer some other way for me to handle this head pain other than taking pills as I am sick of them"... he looked shocked but them mentioned the nerve blocks... this may not be any better but they are non-narcotic.... they are also only every few months as opposed to daily..... he was just giving me pill after pill until I finally said ENOUGH - it is not working!!!

the nerve blocks are painful - they really are but I my opinion they are better than all the crap he kept telling me to take...

My problem is - my headaches are unbearable - I can't do anything - I can hardly speak a full sentence when they get really bad... I just lay in bed under a pillow.... until a few weeks ago - Logan was home so I had to get out of bed... I had to do things for him -play - make food, etc. I had to have a way to do these things as we had no outside help daily when was at work so I asked about the nerve blocks.... they do help for a while... not completely but make it livable so I can care for my son. I really do not have many other options... I didn't have money for daycare or a nanny... disability is putting me thru the ringer....

I think if I were alone in all of this maybe I may have healed faster as this would not have been an issue - I could have spent weeks in bed resting if needed but I could not.... I get my rest and breaks on the weekends and at night when my hubby gets home from work - now that Logan is in School it is easier as well to take the pain.

I guess having this issue with a family and a very young child makes it especially difficult to deal with the healing aspect as it makes things this much harder...and now with the epilepsy thing - I am pretty much forced to take these other meds - this put a huge chink in my healing chain as far as I am concerned as I am not allowed to miss even one dose as it may set off another seizure..... that in itself is a nightmare and a whole other topic that I have no clue how to handle....

Shari, I really wish I knew why you were experiencing a worsening of your condition, rather than healing! In my years of implant support, there have only been a handful of women that I remember that didn't heal well. The one thing that I can say I've noticed is that women who lean on their doctors for healing and depend upon prescription drugs to get them through their symptoms seem to take much longer to get better. I know that drugs are sometimes needed to get through the very worst periods of pain, and in your case, I don't think you have much of a choice. I wish it were different for you! I will keep praying that you experience healing! Pattyhalvey70@... wrote: karen well - no but my situation is a little different so don't be scared...

Inderal LA has helped me quite a bit. I get cluster headaches, migraines, and intracranial pressure from Pseudotumor Cerebri. There isn't a moment of the day I don't have pain in my head, plus I get at least one migraine per day. The worst are either behind my eyes, or up the back of my head. (They get so bad, I can't hold my head up, yet it hurts to lay it down on something... plus, sometimes I throw up.)

Inderal LA cut the frequency of all of these by half. I've been on it before, but had to quit because I could no longer afford it. Now, I'm on regular Inderal (because it has a generic), but I'm not finding as great of relief -though still, some. Maybe 25% less.

I take Aleve constantly, and sometimes Fioricet for pain once I get a migraine if it's too bad to handle, but it just takes the edge off really. I definitely don't want to take it more often, or take something stronger--- so prevention is the best key. Inderal is a preventative measure.

If you get chronic headaches, it's worth seeing a neurologist to see what preventative measure might work for you! Headaches and migraines really do reduce the quality of your life.

Massage and Chiropractic is what helps me with this type of thing,

also putting magnets on my upper back and neck.

, I have been suffering from tension in my neck and shoulders for a couple of years now, which cause headaches. After explant, I was hoping it was going to end. It hasn't. My doctor has been treating it with laser acupuncture for months now. It wasn't till recently that I have responded to the treatments. I do have fewer headaches, however, I just started physical therapy and it has started up again. The tension in my neck and shoulders are worse then ever, so he has started injecting my fibro trigger points with novacain whenever it gets real bad. Hopefully, when my PT is over, I can kick this problem and get on with lifel. funx2sweet <funx2sweet@...> wrote: I have had the same headache for about 2 weeks now.

I get MRI's on my brain every few years or so, but that's it. My husband's had a few on his body in various areas, but they haven't been real helpful in diagnosing his pain issues. (Leg pain.)

I've had the same headache for several months now. It's just on my right side, at the temple...it goes into my neck and shoulder.

Yes, I have headaches almost daily. I was diagnosed with migraines, I

get some that feel like needles being poked into my head, and then I

get throbbing headahes, are just dull ones that are almost always

there, I am 1 year post explant but still have partial capsule that

was left there, I am scheduling my surgery today to remove residual

capsule

Has anyone here had an MRI? I am sure some of you have. I couldn't get my doc to do one at all. Another doc had one done on me of my sinus cavities. I am really trying to stay away from medications to feel better. At night I use a heating pad and that helps most of the time but I am pretty much in pain all day. Pardon a silly questions, but if I use magnets, do you use a certain kind? I have heard of using magnets for health reasons but never really looked into it.

I use Nikken, but I think at this point there are many out there that

will work just as well. In Japan, doctors send patients to the

pharmacy to get magnets, they are sooooo far ahead of us with health care.

I had an MRI of my brain since I was having such severe brain fog. Here is the results of that MRI: MRI of brain: "Mild prominence of superior cerebellar sulci, significanceuncertain. Suggest clinical correlation." "There is mild prominence of sulciover the superior cerebellar hemispheres bilaterally, of uncertain significance. This may indicate a mild degree of cerebellar atrophy considering the patient's age." Basically it was saying that my brain seemed to be shrinking at a young age! I am doing much better and my brain fog is gone for the most part. It just took time to heal. And detoxing, of course. Pattysweet <funx2sweet@...> wrote: Has anyone here had an MRI?

Dear ,

Some nice massage by a reputable massage therapist would be just the

thing for you right now! If you can afford it, go for it. If not,

perhaps you have a good friend or friends that would help out. Just a

suggestion. Hope you feel better!

I had an MRI before I figured out it was the implants that were causing my symptoms. I had terrible terrible vertigo and my doc thought maybe it was MS. . .

At night I use a heating pad and that helps most of the time but I am pretty much in pain all day. Pardon a silly questions, but if I use magnets, do you use a certain kind? I have heard of using magnets for health reasons but never really looked into it.

It can get very scary out there in HA land. Some headaches are fairly

straightforward and everyone gets them; some that are thought to be

full-blown migraines or migraine-type are more common in women, cluster

headaches which are vascular, similar to migraines are more common in

men; other headaches are difficult to diagnose, shouldn't be just

ignored, but once you've seen a neurologist and had a scan, then it's a

matter usually, unless it *does* happen to be a big scary thing, of

getting some relief, learning to deal with stress, keeping a yearly

follow-up with the doctor, perhaps, but basically not to worry too much

about the wolves in the woods!! :-)

Been through it,

that's the exact type I have it's awful.

It can be that, especially if the headaches started shortly after you

started taking the enzymes.

Might also be the foods you are eating, which may not be addressed by

the enzymes. For example, you are not taking them at lunch. It might

also be high phenol foods.

For me, nitrates and MSG caused headaches until recently [i am

chelating myself with ALA, and this has been one of the benefits].

Also, yeast in my head caused nasty headaches.

Dorian,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. That Deja-vu type feeling was a seizure.

I've had lots of them. try convincing your teachers that you are paying

attention in school when it happens. They are generally called Petit-Mal

seizures

and there are various sub classifications. This is a good sign it means his body

doesn't go into the full blown Grand-Mal seizure. Better to have only one

part of the brain seize than to involve the whole brain. There are over 120

types of seizures. It never fails that the foods you crave are the ones that

give

you problems. I have never heard of mushrooms being the culprit but cheese

(especially blue) is notorious for causing problems.

I would look up MAOI's which are drugs given to people with bipolar for a

list of foods not to eat. The idea being that any food that mucks up the brain

while on these drugs might just be a problem for a compromised brain. Not a

scientific reason just an application of 's Law.
