Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Thank you for your story. I’ll keep it with the others I have received. Kenda Kenda, you asked for a list of my symptoms before explant surgery with Dr. M. Here's what I can recall at this time: Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism one year after implants Diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome 5-6 years after implants Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder 5 years after implants Undiagnosed pains in my abdomen/rib area which are gone after explant Enlarged lymph node in neck has shrunk since explant surgery Skin rashes Itchey, inflamed skin problems, especially in the chest and upper back areas nearest the implant sites Blurred vision Extreme physical fatigue daily Sleep patterns disrupted nightly Hair thinned and changed Problems with metal fillings in teeth; all replaced Neck and back pain from heaviness of implants Implant capsules began to move implants out of position by thickening and resisting the foreign bodies Hmmmm, how's that for beginners?? I dont' care who you share my story with. If it can be used to help one other woman in the world realize that her health issues may be related to implants, then share it. I'll be glad to put my story in any format that might be useful for you to share with Oprah,Mentor,FDA,Elmer Fudd, or anyone else who might give us survivors the time of day to warn other women that they, too, may be hypersensitive to the implants themselves. I do not promote any agenda other than getting the word out to other women who may not use the internet as easily as we do. I found my freedom through this group and an internet search. How many women are there that are implanted, sick, and do not use the internet?????? Maybe we could help them through other medias...Peace, J Opinions expressed are NOT meant to take the place of advice given by licensed health care professionals.
