Re: Illnesses attributed to breast implants by DOW settlement!

[Guest guest]

Anti-RNP can also be high with mixed connective tissue disease, or SLE (lupus).

Anti-SSA can be sjogrens or SLE.

I had high anti-ANA (autonuclear antibodies, suggestive of autoimmune disorder),

anti-

(very specific for lupus), anti-SSA and anti-RNP antibodies.

My blood tests now are normal, two years after explant.

Molly, I am ecstatic about your blood tests becoming normal again! That's what we like to hear!

Thank you Patty!! I was pretty ecstatic, too.

My rheumatologist did not want to take an ANA, becasue she said it would not

change

from the other 5 times I had it taken (before explant). Well, surprise

surprise.

That women's labwork can return to normal after explant is a powerful message

that

implants DO cause problems!!! And, the flip side of that of course, is that

removing the

implants can improve health!!
