Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 michelee, it does sound like all of the same symptoms caused by implants. I had extreme anxiety after getting mine in. That and so many other symptoms creeped up without explanation and every blood test was normal. Get them out as soon as possible! They say that the faster you experience problems, the faster you are likely to recover.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hi , None of us here could diagnose you - I'm certainly not a medical doctor, and I doubt even a medical doctor could do so on a forum like this. However, I can say that many of us have had similar problems with implants. All you have to do is read some of the stories here and on other implant forums like Explantation.com or Implant Info Net.. we have so many of the same stories. Implants DO cause problems for many women. --- In , " swtlilblonde31 " <swtlilblonde31@y...> wrote: > Hello, > I have silicone implants and have had them for almost three years now > but prior to this I had saline.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yes, I can say with a great degree of confidence that it sounds like implant associated illness to me. The symptoms are pretty classic. We've had lots of women with hair loss issues, and I definitely had the nightsweats, insomnia and depression along with a host of other symptoms. I am sorry you are going through this. Recovery is surely possible for you, but of course, you will need a proper explant, and then working on your health. Unfortunately, the hair loss issue is one that has stumped many women...it does not seem to heal very well or very quickly. I know it causes alot of despair. Dr. Kolb will take good care of you. I wish you wellness. Glad you found us. Hugs, Patty > Hello, > I have silicone implants and have had them for almost three years now > but prior to this I had saline.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can save my hair? I have lost over 60% of my volume and it is still falling out heavy.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 > How long did you have your implants? Were they saline or silicone? When did you first notice hair loss? I have been shedding pretty heavy for years but I am always told it is stress. After seeing the boards and talking to Dr Kolb it seems it may have started with my first set of implants. I am really scared my hair may not grow back and worse that I may lose it all before I can afford to explant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 With as many vitamins and supplements as Dr Kolb has me on and I am sure the actual detox after explant will be pretty extensive. I just can't imagine with all that, that my hair wouldn't recover.I do realize it can take a year or more to see results of new growth. I have hope. I don't want to be boobless and bald. > > Hello, > > I have silicone implants and have had them for almost three years > now > > but prior to this I had saline.
