Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Well, a, you are certainly not the first who demonstrated these horrible symptoms early in implantation. You definitely have a bad case of being basically allergic to your implants. You are what we call an early responder or reacter, which I was also. Yes, I have little doubt that every one of your conditions are from your implants. We have heard this type of story many times over. And no doubt you will improve, I am glad you are scheduled to have your implants removed quickly. Be sure they take out the scar tissue. And check the fluid in your implants, as it is probably loaded with fungus. Who is removing your implants? Be sure you get them back! Many doctors will not five them to you unless you insist. Sometimes they make excuses even when they say they will give them back. We have info. on the site about this. I know many women will probably respond to your message. We all know how it is to be sick from our implants. Lynda At 05:00 PM 12/19/2005, you wrote: >I'm new to this forum, so hang with me.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 You are so lucky you figured out it was your implants so soon. I have spent years not even realising my implants were causing problems because either doctors swore they weren't or plain had no idea. Now I have lost damn near all my hair, have lipoma tumors all over, get tons of UTI infections, yeast infections, terrible breakouts which I never had this bad before and I get them all over not just on my face. I can't remember much, I have night sweats and vision problems and the list goes on. Funny thing is I am only 32, I have had implants for nearly 8 years and am just now figuring out that I can trace these problems back to about a year after my implants were first placed. I am scared for my daughter as well, she was mysteriously premature at birth no one could figure out why she was losing her heart rate and I went into labor, she almost died. Now she is 5 but I breast fed her being told that it was ok even though I had implants, I am afraid at what this may cost her in the future. > >I'm new to this forum, so hang with me.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 a . . . Welcome to ! . . . You're definitely in the right place. What I tell women so often is to forget about collecting diagnoses . . . The main thing they do is to mess up your medical records so getting insurance in the future may become impossible! . . . Once you have your implants out, most of the symptoms should start receding . . . Unless you need treatment for an immediate health concern, stay away from doctors and stay way from medications. Unfortunately, many of the medications given to women prior to explant have their own set of complications that may remain for years. One formerly implanted woman told me that the psychiatrist she was sent to after getting sick wrote down that she had a psychosis - because nobody could have THAT many diagnoses! She's doing much better now! The primary concern is that your implants are removed " en bloc " . . . Be sure your doctor understands that is what you expect. If the doctor resists you, and resists any information you provide about the importance of en bloc, find another doctor. It's shameful, but in the entire U.S. there are only a handful of doctors who we recommend without reservation! Removing your implants en bloc ensures that any contaminated fluids from your implant won't spill into your chest cavity. What we've found is that most women get much better following explant (saline or gel) UNLESS they had a extracapsular rupture, or there was a spill during explant. Even then they will likely get better - but it may take a very long time to do so. We've also found that the implanting surgeon is usually the worst choice for explanting! However there are some outstanding exceptions, so don't jump to a conclusion without discussing en bloc with your doctor. If your doctor tells you that you will be disfigured, run! . . . You needn't look much different than you did prior to implants - or you may even look better, especially if one is saggy pre-implant and a mastopexy is done. It appears that, after implants, one can develop fungal problems virtually anywhere! Whether from bacteria introduced with the implant, from an immune system worn down from fighting implants, or from the antibiotics and steriods given to fight the supposed illnesses. j I posted a message earlier today about treating for systemic fungal/yeast/Candida. We also have tons of info about these problems in our archives. . . Check them out. If you have any questions, let us know. Making the implant connection is huge step in getting better! . . . Being sick - especially when doctors can't figure out what's wrong - and not knowing why is horrible. I think you'll find that understanding the implant connection will help. Even before your implants are out! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi a, I got my implants in May 2005 and started having symptoms right away. My feet were sore, my lymph nodes swelled up, my joints started swelling up (only the initial swelling was mild - actually it started out as one finger), and at about the 3 or 4 month point, I started getting terrible headaches, numb fingers and toes, my bones in my fingers were killing me, and my joints swelled up really bad. At that time, my blood pressure sky-rocketed, too. I also had terrible heartburn. You know, I've noticed a funky taste in the back of my throat since I got the implants, I'm wondering if I should get checked for fungus in my throat. What exactly are the symptoms of that? I had my implants removed 6 weeks ago, which was 6 months after my implant surgery. I have good days and bad days, but I'm so glad that they're out. Who is removing your implants? I haven't read ahead yet to see if anyone has responded to your message, but make sure whoever removes them does the " en bloc " method. You don't want them to spill any of the contents into your body (if a plastic surgeon can get away with draining the saline out of your body and then removing the bag, they will - and that is totally NOT the way they should be removed). There's probably fungus in the implants if you've got a fungal infection in your throat. Also, make sure they remove the capsules, if you're symptomatic the capsules might continue to make you sick - they contain particles of the bio-junk that your implants are made of, so they need to go. Good luck on January 4th!! Sis > > I'm new to this forum, so hang with me.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi a welcome to this support group. I'm so sorry for all the problems you are having. My explant was in October, and though not healed completely, am doing a lot better. I had my implants for two years before I suddenly started getting sharp pains in my chest and between my shoulder blades - which never went away. For years I kept going to different doctors, CT scans and blood work showed nothing. I questioned the implants, but everyone said no - they are not making you sick. Finally, over this summer a bone scan showed intense inflamation and a CT scan showed arthritis of my sternum. Rather than going on the toxic drugs the rheumatologist wanted me to go on, I went to a natural doc - who thought the implants could be the reason for my illness. That led me to research and find this support group and then explant. I had them for a total of 8 1/2 years. By coming here to this site is the best thing you could have done. The women here are so experienced with all of the symptoms and I have learned so much from their willingness to share their experience. Your surgery is coming up soon, and I am sure everyone has aleady told you, make sure they take the capsule along with the implant. I'll be praying for you as your date approaches.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 WOW. That's a fast response to implants. But it happens, and yes I believe they are linked. Did you know that carpel tunnel can be aggravated by connective tissue disease? It can. And that's my guess as to what is going on with you. Of course, many women with implants also end up with systemic fungus. I hope you consider getting these implants out, before you get sicker. --- In , " a Holzinger - Want " <pinky6978@y...> wrote: > > I'm new to this forum, so hang with me.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 congrats shawna I am happy you are having your explant.... hopefully since your implants were only in for a year your symptoms will diminish.... I had all your problems and many more... I had mine in for 7 years though... working hard at getting back to normal. For more info on my story w/ symptoms go to www.breastimplantawareness.org/shari.htm good luck!! shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 shawna Your symptoms--especially the hands and feet ones, sound really familar. I never showed a positive ana but eventually was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease with lupus and scleroderma symptoms. I am so glad that you are getting your implants out! they are definitely playing havoc with your immune system. Who is doing your surgery? Hugs, Kathy > > I'm new to this forum, so hang with me.
