Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Posted May 21, 2006 Hello, I am new to this site. I am 28 years old. I have had my implants for almost 3 years. In November I started feeling really run down and fatigued. I couldn't keep up with normal daily activities. I kept getting virus after virus and I got worse. My hands, feet, and face started swelling. Eventually my joints started aching. I started having pains that would run down my arms and my arms would get weak and I couldn't lift them over my head and my chest would pound. My doctors couldn't figure it out. Since February I have had 3 sinus infections and 3 yeast infections. I still have swelling in my hands and feet and my joint pain is worse than ever. I also started having night sweats and I get them at least 3 times a week. The extreme fatigue hits me from time to time. A doctor at Internal Medicine has done extensive testing on me and they can't figure it out. A 28 year old shouldn't feel this way!!!! I urged the doctor at Internal Medicine to give me a referral to a rheumatologist. He doesn't think I need it but gave me the referral anyways. I didn't even think about my implants until recently while surfing on the Internet and came across articles about saline implants and auto-immune diseases. I don't know if they are causing everything but the more and more that I read I am becoming more convinced. What should I do??? Also, for those of you that have had your breasts explanted- did your warranty cover anything? I don't have money right now to pay for explantation because I am a student and my husband is getting ready to retire from the military. Quote
