thank you !!! How can I contact Patty or Rogene?auntsisnj <auntsisnj@...> wrote: Jackie,I honestly don't know if anyone has kept a tally of how many women have come to this site, and what types of ailments we've all suffered from. I think the person who would know that would be Patty, or perhaps Rogene, but I'm not certain that either has kept a headcount of any sort. I can say that I've been coming here for about 6 or 7 months, and am stunned at how many women have posted their stories, and so many of us have the same exact symptoms, that started either shortly after getting implants, or for some years later. I'd love to be able to help in any way I can - I don't have statistics, I just have my own experiences and the experiences of others to go

Hi! I just got back from traveling last night, so I am trying to get caught up on posts. It may take me some time, but I know you have some important questions that need answers. I have forwarded your letter on to a good friend of mine who has a better grasp on the politics of this situation than I do. I will also forward your letter on to a Washington DC contact who may have good information for you. I wish you the best!
