Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Liz, Welcome to the group . . . I'm sorry you need us, but I'm glad you're here. Your symptoms are only too common, and if not taken care of promptly can lead to a lifetime of ill health. Since you're a nurse, I have to warn you that we're mostly about alternative medicine . . . because, as you've experienced, the most of the medical profession hasn't got a clue when it comes to the problems associated with breast implants. Since you got sick so soon, chances are you have contaminated implants. This makes it very important that your have your implants removed properly .. . That is " en bloc " i.e. the capsule removed with the implant still inside. This is to keep the contaminated contents from spilling into your chest cavity. The doctor may drain the implant with a needle first. Also, the doctor should insert a drainage tube to prevent a buildup of fluids in your chest. To leave the capsule in is like leaving a dirty towel behind . .. and risks further surgery. Unfortunately, the implanting surgeon is usually the worst choice for explant. They usually minimize the problem and look for a quick fix . .. then tell you that, since your implants aren't the problem, you won't feel better after getting them out. Duh!!! In the meantime, drink plenty pure water, take probiotics - a prescription like Nystatin is good, or acidopholis, Garden of Life's Fungal Defense followed by Primal Defense www.appleadayandbeyond.com . Try to minimize the chemicals in your life . . . Eat organic if possible, avoid sugar like the plague, and minimize refined grains. I'm running through this kinda fast, but I can't stay on the computer long tonight. Click on the first link below, then check out our list of Healing Therapies. If you have any questions, we have some ladies here who will walk you though whatever you need. Hugs and prayers, Rogene > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
