Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Mindy, I had vertigo so bad, I would have to hang my head out of the window on my way to work, in case I had to vomit. When sitting in a chair at work, I would have to hold onto the sides so I wouldn't slip into the floor. I went from 100 pounds to 85 in about 5 months, I was so sick. Dr. Kolb told me she saw the vertigo frequently in silicone patients. I can tell you about two to three weeks after explanting, it did go away, and it's never returned. When I started the detox baths, I began breaking out in rashes on my chest and stomach, sometimes legs. They would be a bright red, just like a sunburn, and would fade in a few hours. I hardly ever get them anymore. I would suggest getting them out now instead of waiting. I was very sore after explanting because she got every bit of my thin capsules out. I needed help with the kids for about a week and I limped along for the next two weeks, able to do things, but taking it very easy. I was relieved that you are going to try to get the capsules removed. I firmly believe there is a high rate of undetected infection in them, some worse than others. You can always send them to Blais for an evaluation, around $350. hugs, Beth L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
