Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 Hi, I am here in hopes to gain support in my recent findings about implants. I got McGhan saline implants in 2000. In the last year I have been to the DR many times, especially over the last couple of months. I have been diagnosed with Fibermyelgia, Chronic Fatigue, and have found arthritis everywhere. I am scheduled to see rheumtology and spine dr's over next few weeks. I recently got steriod injections in my SI and PSI joints, but still have horrible burning/pain throughout. I have also had 2 rounds of blood tests once this summer and again in November to check for RA, Lupus, etc. I have been very healthy in the past. I turned 30 in August and kidded that the aging process hit hard this year. Now I am a wreck and my 65 year old parents are healthier than me. To make my situation more complicated... My husband is in the Guards and just left friday on deployment. I have a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 1 year old (I breastfed the 1yr and 3 yr with implants). I am struggling to care for them let alone myself. I have been frantically researching my symptoms for several months and came across the info on implants last week. I was shocked. I thought my implants were safe. I made an appointment to see Plastic Surgeon this coming Friday. Ironically I orginally called and said I was concerned about autoimmune and I was scheduled for a month out. I called back and said I have pain and was scheduled for week out. How does that work?? I know I want to get an explant ASAP. I am scared, as I have been so happy with my results. But I just want my health back. I felt like I would be a better Mom if I got implants and had a better self estem. Now years later I can't even crawl around on the floor with my kids. ( I want to know what I can do to get better. I am scared and feel sooooo alone. Thanks for reading my post. Quote
