Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hi Dawn, Thanks for making me laugh! I've read some of your postings and I do not believe that you 'blab, blab, blab'. We are neighbors by the way. I live in Philadelphia. What area of New Jersey are you from? I went through 2 1/2 years of testing. Not only blood work but biopsies, colonoscopy, endoscopy, cat scans, x-rays, MRI's. At one point I had difficulty driving or even walking for that matter. I was in a wheelchair. But all the doctors told me that it was definitely not from the implants! All the tests were negative. Funny thing though, as soon as the implants were removed, some of my symptoms disappeared. Tingling in my hands, constant yeast infections GONE! I am still weak and very tired and have flare ups about 4 times a month. It is an improvement from constant pain, weakness and those terrible yeast infections. I've only had my implants out for four months now so I'm hoping within a year I'll be at least 80% what I had once been. Good Luck to You, Beth S. Good Morning Kenda,You're probably still sleeping out there in Ok!! Not me out on the east coast. Anyway, I just want to clarify with you... It is only MY opinion that Oprah is not the best choice. Let me remind you, I am only one big mouthed girl from New Jersey!!!!..... and I am not the majority of this group as you know. Whatever the other girls want is what you should go with. Don't mind me... I just blab blab blab... not that there is no validity to what I say, but don't let me influence your efforts.Like you said, isn't it worth it to try? Yes, it is worth it. And, like others are saying.. if enough people also bombard her with stories, maybe it would have a second look.No, there aren't any guarantees that we... and Dr. M will not be attacked or edited into what the media wants.. but hey there are no guarantees with anything in life.I want you to try and understand that for years now, not one doctor has been able to identify what has been wrong with me. When I called my ps and asked if I could be so sick due to the implants... his response was "no, no way, they are safe, you had a pre existing condition".. One particular friend with implants thinks I am absolutely nuts for getting explant... she thinks there is no way it's the implants either. So, please know that the root of my frustration is what I wrote above... in addition to going from doc to doc to doc with all NORMAL blood tests, etc. etc. etc. Have never been "VALIDATED" that what is happening is real.Thanks for what you are doing to help.HUGS,Dawn Messenger Show us what our next emoticon should look like.
