Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 HI. What you are describing is exceedingly common. Probably some of us refer to that also as brainfog. Before I got my implants out it was terrible. It is a dizzy like feeling but not true dizziness. It is strange, and makes you almost feel detached from yourself in a slight way. I hated it. I would be sitting at the table eating but feeling these weird sensations in my head --almost like I was drunk or looking at things through a bottle and lightheaded. It was the first thing to leave after explant. I have heard that it is most often caused by systemic yeast, which can easily come about with implants because they compromise your immune system which allows pathogens to proliferate. Yes, you can have infection without having a fever. Also, many of us have had the tight feeling you describe and certainly the tingling. Are you explanted yet? If not, I think you should look into getting the implants out as soon as possible. Then there is a good chance to improve or get rid of these symptoms and stop others from occurring.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Yes I had a whole bunch of weird feelings/head sensations in my head it started w/a weird burning/tighness in my head then went on to be all kinds of weird feelings that are hard to explain, this was one of my very first symtoms actually. Also towards the end before my explant I got the tight/tingling feelings in my arms & back area also very hard to explain. I've been explanted about 7 months & am starting to have more days where I have no symptoms!--- In , " tasslekitty " <tasslekitty@y...> wrote: > > Has anybody had a strange lightheaded like feeling in their head > that makes it hard to concentrate.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Yes, yes, yes and yes! Getting implants removed is the best place to start. Following a good diet, moderate exercise, detoxing, avoiding stress and anger, positive attitude, good sleep, etc. . . . are also very important!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 yes yes yes and yes - almost all of us have had at least a few of these symptoms - I know that I have had and still have all of them. Several have severely diminished since my explant. The tingling has reduced drastically and used to go down my arms and legs at different times. Sometimes it burned and sometimes it felt like bugs were crawling on me in a tickly kind of way. The "brain fog" portion of it is still here. I have trouble concentrating - get into the middle of a sentence and forget what I was talking about - walk to the kitchen to get an item and forget what it is when I get there.. This happens all of the time along w/ dizzy spells, bumping into walls and stuff. This is VERY uncommon for implanted women to have these problems... Do you still have your implants or have they been removed? What type are/were they? How long have the/were they in for? All this info is important for me to give advice on my experiences with them myself as well as many other women I know. Mine have been out for almost 2 years - they were in for 7. They were Mentor saline textured ones - this is also VERY important - are/were they textured? Sorry for all of the questions but some are important in helping me try to help you. I sure hope and pray that you get better soon!! Hugs Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi, How do you know if you have a systemic yeast infection and how do you treat it? Did you have your implants for a long time, I did. --- mikat828 <mikat828@...> wrote: > > > HI. What you are describing is exceedingly common. > Probably some > of us refer to that also as brainfog.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 la I was told I had this problem after I had a live blood cell analysis done three years ago. Basically they look at your blood under a microscope and can see yeast cells in your blood. Most people suspect it is a problem by the symptoms they are having. It can cause many many symptoms---dizziness, sinus problems, muscle and joint pain, swelling, tingling, depression and the list goes on and on. Some people believe in doing a spit test where you spit in a glass of water first thing in the morning before you drink anything and if the spit forms " legs " down into the water from the floating portion on top it means you have candida. I would just assume you have a problem with it, because most of us sick with these symptoms do. Many things help control yeast: diet--cut out refined sugar and starches. Also only eat vegetables/fruits with a low glycemic index. Oil of oregano, olive leaf extract, fresh garlic, grapefruit seed extract all kill candida (yeast). Taking acidolphidus(sp?) helps crowd out candida in the intestinal tract. Many people on this site, myself included, really like a product called Primal Defense by Garden Of Life. It contains several strains of probiotics for the intestines that kill candida. I really like the powdered version which I mix in water. You can never completely eliminate candida from your body. All people have candida in their intestinal tract. It is when your immune system is suppressed that candida can change in form to a mycelial form and enter the blood stream. From there it can cause problems virtually anywhere. As your immune system bounces back, it will do a better job of controlling this. There is a site dedicated solely to candida and many of the people on this site have had good luck with liver cleanses. In fact, the best recoveries seem to include doing these cleanses. If you go to www.curezone.com you can find alot about these cleanses. Also, info has been posted many times on this site about liver cleanses. I would recommend that you read either The Maker's Diet, or Patient Heal Thyself --both by the Garden of Life originator--Jordin Rubin. These books give you good info on the type of foods that are healing and those that are not. Diet is very important---especially cutting out sugar sources because yeasts (as well as almost all pathogens) feed off of sugar. That is a good place to start along with taking the primal defense. I don't remember if you have had your implants out yet. If you haven't, it will be very hard to control yeast with them still in. I know of several people who did all kinds of detox and candida treatments, but they didn't experience getting better until after getting the implants out.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi, They were removed 2 years and 5 months ago. They were in 11 years and symptoms started at the 9 year mark after childbirth and a mammogram for a lump that I found which turned out to be a simple very small cyst. They were textured McGhan. I worry because I hear these textured ones are worse than smooth but I do not know exactly why. Also, according to Dr. Blais smooth ones can cause as much trouble for some. Any help would be appreciated I am very confused on what to try next to help myself. Godbless and Thanks --- halvey70@... wrote: > yes yes yes and yes - almost all of us have had at > least a few of these > symptoms - I know that I have had and still have all > of them.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 la, The reason the textured are considered worse than smooth is that there is a much greater surface area exposed to your body. . .Think of how much more earth is exposed in a square mile of mountains, versus a square mile of flat land. The body will try to remove the implant by breaking off tiny bits that get distributed through the body. Lots more bits on textured! With smooth implants, they may have faulty valves, or may be contaminated (just like textured), causing women to get sick too. . . Why would anyone put something into the body - for life, supposedly - that has a shelf life of two years on the shelf. That's what saline solution is good for! When it comes to recovery, it seems that you can get better either way by taking care of yourself through diet, exercise, detoxing, stress and anger management, good sleep, etc. Anti-Candida supplements can help, as can nutritional supplements and drinking a lot of water!
