Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Renea 40 years old I had my saline implants in April 2004. In August 2004 things started happening to me --My fingers got real painful and swollen. That would come and go. In October same thing with my foot. The doctor just gave me ibuprofen and a cortisone shot. Then in November the same thing happened in my shoulder, another couple of shots!! By December both of my feet were so swollen and painful I could hardly walk. Then it spread to my hands, wrist and knee. I was sent to a Rhuematologist and he diagnosed me with Rhuematiod arthritis. All my mri and xrays were normal except they showed swelling. My labs were not in the range for rheumatiod. He put me on prednisone which does help. Though I know it is bad for me. I was also put on Methotrexate. It is horrible and I am not going to stay on it. It doesn't seem to help. Grasping for any and all help I found a woman who does meridian stress assessment. After her tests, she said she thought I did not have true arthritis but, my body is mimiking it. I have traces of silicon toxicity and something to do with Gulf war syndrome? How could this be? I searched and searched and prayed for God to give me signs to help me. My husband stumbled on this site!! There is no info out there and my doctors think I am nuts to relate this to my implants! But in my heart something told me my implants are making me sick. After reading your stories I have called to get mine out. I am looking at the end of June. I am so scared of surgery. Can someone explain to me the right way to have them out? Thanks jra83 (Renea) __________________________________ Discover Get on-the-go sports scores, stock quotes, news and more.
