Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hi , I have never had implants but do have problems with detoxing and my liver. When my liver is toxic, sometimes I stutter or even speak words other than what I had intended. If I’m thinking about one thing and then speak about something else, one of my words will be wrong. It isn’t often but it is strange. If you have toxicities from implants, perhaps this is your problem as well? Fluttering of your eyes could be a magnesium deficiency. My eyes fluttered for a while when I was drinking too much caffeine. My doctor had me add a magnesium supplement and stop drinking caffeine, which depletes magnesium, and the fluttering went away. Several women here have spoken about magnesium deficiencies. Kenda In my quest to document all of my symptoms I came across another one I'm curious about. For the past few years I have noticed a very slight studdering in my speech that is progressivly happening more often. I can't control it, and it has nothing to do with nervousness. That along with, what I can only describe as, a fluttering in my eyes. These two syptoms have been so slight, and have come on so slowly, that I haven't even mentioned them to anyone. Has anyone else experienced this? I just looked at the autoimmune checklist and noticed that I was consistently checking things that went along with Hashimotos. What is the test for Hashimotos? I have never tested positive for anything, but it has been at least 4 years since any doctor has even bothered to administer any kind of test. I haven't been too concerned about testing for things because my insurance is so bad that it most likely wouldn't cover the tests anyway. But now I am thinking that I need to get tested before my explant so I will have something to compare to after the surgery.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 , Personally, I would go easy on collecting documented problems. First, it's highly unlikely they are going to treat you for any of them, and secondly, your medical records could prevent you from getting insurance at some future date. If you need a doctor to treat something that NEEDS treating, that's one thing, or if you really believe you can pursue a legal case, by all means see a doctor. Otherwise, you could be hurting yourself in the long run. Keeping a personal journal would accomplish the same thing. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Rogene, I am only thinking of this in terms of a personal journal. Most of my symptoms have never been documented in my medical records because all of my doctors have dismissed me as just suffering depression and stress. My records show nothing more than the Fibromyalgia and my complaints about the bladder problems, but I never went through with the cystoscopy to get the final diagnosis of the intersticial cystitis. I don't trust doctors, and I don't take prescriptions, so my only reason for ever mentioning anything to them was to get a diagnosis, which they were never interested in giving me! I'm amazed at how proactive some of the women on here have reported their doctors to be. I have seen many physicians and not one of them was interested in testing me for anything!!! I really just want to document all of my wierd symptoms for my own personal discovery of what seems to disappear after the explant. It will be interesting to know what goes away because of some of my family history of illnesses. Many of my symptoms are the same as my father and his sister who are incredibly ill, neither of which have any silicone of any kind in their bodies. I would like to be able to know in my own head and heart that what I have suffered is not the same as what they have. I also want to know so that when I get a chance to go really public with this, like Kacey, I will have a solid idea of what was caused by the implants.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 , I'm so happy to know we have another woman warrior in the making! The group in D.C. was ecstatic to see young women getting involved - especially considering they are so sick and still putting themselves out there! I don't know if it will happen in your case, but you may find that, after getting your implants out and detoxing, that the indicators for your genetic health problems disappear as well. Some of the women here have reported that. We live in such a chemically filled world that anything we can do to minimize the chemicals in our body can make a huge difference. Like Kenda, for instance, while she didn't have implants, she has a genetic profile that predisposes her to a wide array of health issues. Yet, by carefully using supplements and detoxing regularly, she reports feeling, not well, but great! It would be interesting if you could get more information on your family members to see what environmental exposures they have had. . . Keep in mind that breast implants aren't the only type of implants causing health problems. . . People who have undergone a variety of medical procedures using silicone tubing, shunts, mesh, or other implants are at risk. . . . Not to mention all the drugs being given that make one toxic or suppress the immune system. I learned a lot on the trip to D.C. about what others are doing. As soon as I can get my thoughts organized, I want to share these resources with everyone. IMHO, this is getting really huge! I'm sure there will be some powerful forces against all this. But, with the number of people becoming disabled and the cost of caring for these people, sanity will have to prevail, or we will go down as a country/world. While our group is basically about healing, other groups are collecting data. One group (Toxic Discovery Network) has been offered a semi-truck load of data - they would love to accept if they only had a space to put it! They already have more data than their staff can process into accessible, cross-referenced, format so anyone/anywhere can search.
