Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I would just like to ask all of you out there that had had explant, if anyone's auto-immune symptoms lessened or disappeared following explant? I know I read about joint pain disappearing in many cases. But I wonder about hypothyroid, specifically hashimotos, if anyone had lessening or disappearing of antibodies, or any other cases? Specifically my symptoms now are hashimotos, hairloss, dry eyes (dx'd bletharitis), and as for joint, my left knee has been bothering me lately and the doctor said it was the degeneration of cartilage but I wonder if that could be at all related to this as well. Mine were implanted in 98, saline over muscle, small 150cc, have had no problems with the implants themselves, which are soft, although they have seemed to have 'shrunk' a little bit in size. All symptoms described above developed after implants. Just for the record, I am 60, so that could have something to do with all this as well ?? I am scheduled for June explant (I am the same who posted being nervous about explant, and still am....)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
