Re: Need advice in NC

[Guest guest]

Welcome...I also had MS like symptoms starting 2wks after my

implants were in, I struggled daily, each day a new symtpom would

start, I went from DR to Dr & none could tell me what was amatter, I

got the implants Jan 30, 2004 & had them removed Aug 12, 2004. If

you ever want to discuss symtpoms feel free to contact me! Today I'm

almost symptom free once again, but its been work on my part,

detoxing, supplements etc.

Hugs & you will be on your way to recovered health once you remove

them en bloc.

Hello,

I am in Georgia. I think your best best is to contact Dr Kolb in

Atlanta, drkolb@..., plastikos.com. My ANA was positive

too at 1:80, but is now negative! I was tested for MS as well.

It's amazing to think that they will insinuate depression in these

instances. How insulting.

hugs,

Hi

Welcome to our website. Your symptoms are along the lines of many

women's here with implants. Most doctors are either unaware or

refuse to believe that implants cause illness. Most definitely they

do. Several ladies here have had ms like symptoms. No one believed

that my symptoms were related to my implants either, but when I

found this site, I became convinced they were. ONe lady wrote that

she had almost the exact same symptoms, even the weirder ones that I

had. That was enough for me. I had them out and got much better.

We are hearing from more and more ladies everyday who have gotten

sick from their supposedly safe saline implants. The good news is

that once explanted, these women are getting their health back!!

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. This is a

great group and very informative and supportive.

Hugs, kathy

Have you checked the list of doctors in our archive?

You can access it by clicking on the first link below.

Perhaps one of those doctors would be convenient to

you.

Many of us have been diagnosed with a lupus-like, or

MS-like illness, only to have it disappear after

getting our implants removed.

You may be able to find a local surgeon. You probably

won't be able to find one who agrees that implants

caused your health problems. What you need to look for

is a doctor who will agree to remove your implants " en

bloc " and use drains following the surgery. En bloc

means removing the capsule with the implant still

inside to prevent spilling the contents into your

chest cavity. The drains are to prevent an

accumulation of fluids that may result in further

surgery.

You might try calling to find out if there are any

doctors near you who will agree to remove your

implants this way. Then, go for a visit. You should

not have to pay for a consultation. See how you feel

about the doctor . . . if the doctor tells you that

you will need to replace your implants, or that you

will be disfigured, you have the wrong doctor.

A good doctor will want to remove your implants

properly, if for no other reason than for your peace

of mind. . . I was explanted 12 years ago . . . and

learned last year that my explanting doctor still does

not routinely remove capsules! But he did remove mine!

If you have any qualms about the doctor you interview,

check with another. . . We need more doctors we can

refer women to . . . If this is what it takes to find

a doctor, tell him/her that! We have information that

explains the importance of the en bloc procedure and

the dangers of leaving capsules behind. Take that to

the doctor.

Remember the doctor is working for YOU! . . . It's

his/her job to do what you want!

We have a wonderful group here! . . . If you have any

questions, ask away! We want to see you, and every

other woman who is sick from these poison bags well!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene
