Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Dear Lea, nightsweats are caused by fluctuations in hormones. Women tend to get nightsweats when their estrogen levels drop. Why this happens I don't know, but you may want to have your estrogen levels checked. After childbirth I had horrible nightsweats for several months... with all three children! I still get them from time to time. Love, --- In , " Lea " <devans@c...> wrote: > > Dear Friends: > > I have a quick question. Why have I started to have night sweats again?

My left breast was removed due to a Seroma; however, the plastic surgeon could not get all the garbage out of the right breast. I had rotten Dow first and they ruptured, then in 1976, he removed the Dow and put in BMS's old garbage silicone implants, these ruptured very quickly....just like the Dow. We did not know that these devices were ruptured until 1992. Thank god that I did not have saline put in because Dr. Blais has said that saline is worse than silicone!! Help.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Honey, they took me off the hormone medication because they claim that it causes pulmonary embolisms! Some of my friends are on hormone medication and they have not had a PE? Wonders me. Love...Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``````` Re: Fw: Night sweats: > Dear Lea, nightsweats are caused by fluctuations in hormones.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Lea, try the natural hormone creams, that is what I use.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Lea...I am new to the group and still have saline implants...have had them for about 2 1/2 years. Everyone around me...doctors, friends, relatives, keep telling me that my implants have nothing to do with how I feel. I am curious who Dr. Blais is and why he/she thinks saline implants are even worse. HELP! I need the most information I can get. Thanks! > > >> > > >> Dear Friends: > > >> > > >> I have a quick question. Why have I started to have night sweats > > > again?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Dr. Blais is an expert on failed medical devices. He worked in Canada at the equivalent agency to our FDA, and was one of the first scientists to sound the alarm about the dangers of breast implants. Because of his stance, and the corrupt politics, he was fired from his high position there. But now he has his own business analyzing failed medical devices, and he has also written papers and testified in court about breast implants. Needless to say, he is not well liked by the manufacturers and plastic surgeons who love to discredit him, although he has outstanding qualifications. I was also told that saline implants are worse than silicone gels. I am not sure why, but I surmise that it has something to do with the higher incidences of fungal infections and bacterial colonies that he finds in the saline solution of these implants, whereas silicone gels do not have this problem. (Of course, they have their own problem of ruptures carrying silicone poison to all major organs of the body). All breast implants are dangerous. Dr. Blais is a kind man who will take the time to talk to you if you have questions. We have his contact info listed in our files if you need it.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Lea it is the estrogen that can cause you to be more likely to have an embolism. Have you tried natural progesterone? It stopped my hot flashes. You should check with your doctor first to make sure it isn't contrindicated because you are on so many meds including blood thinners. Most likely it will be ok.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Kathy Dear: The night sweats were bad even when I was on estrogen, I think that this is all part of the silicone poisoning. I also start to burn from the inside and then my face turns bright red and burns just like my tongue. We think that when I get rid of all the stress in my life things will get better. I get so angry at the lawyers/doctors for abusing the women, but I must learn to take care of myself. When I'm down, I'm no good to anyone. I want to help the women so much, but I guess they will survive all this just as we have, but if I could take away their troubles I would be happy. My doctors have warned me about taking any medications without their permission. Thank you for your help...love you....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``````````````````` Re: Fw: Night sweats: > Lea > it is the estrogen that can cause you to be more likely to have an > embolism.
