Honey, please do not be sad. We will all help you to get through this, and I know that it seems as if you will never be well again. Most all of us have been where you are at this time and have made it through. What you need is lots of love and support and this is where you will get all of the above.

How could they hurt us and still refuse to admit that these devices cause these serious problems. We know that breast implants do cause immune problems. I wonder which planet this so-called doctor came from!

Please stay close to this wonderful group...you will not be alone...love...Lea

How long have you had your implants? I started having symptoms

about a week after I got them. My lymph nodes swelled up and were

very painful, my joints swelled up, my fingers and toes got numb, I

had a terrible headache in my left temple all day, every day, along

with dizziness and brain fog. My veins bulged in my fingers and

they looked blue, and my face looked gray all the time. I got my

implants in May of 2005 and had them removed in November of 2005.

It's been a gradual process but I am alot better than I was a year

ago. My blood pressure skyrocketed when I had implants, and within

one month of removing them, it was back to normal. The headaches

went away after about 3 months, the numb fingers and toes went away

after about 6 months, the twitching in my face went away after about

9 months. I still have some trouble with joint swelled, but not as

bad as last year at this time. My thumbs still swell up, but last

year at this time my elbows, knees, and ankles were swelling, too,

and my thumbs were twice the size they are now (and they're still

slightly swollen).

There isn't any evidence that saline implants cause autoimmune

problems because no studies have been done specifically on the women

who get sick. There are tons of us with the same complaints, who

suddenly or gradually got sick after getting implants.

LISTEN UP, you are not crazy, that is the exact same thing that has

happened to a lot of us. I work in a school too, just about to look

into disability, then I had this sort of HUGE insight into realizing

it is the implants. Nothing really looked wrong with them, just had

all the symptoms you listed, but then they started burning and that

was the final straw (also lost feeling in one arm). I have been

sick for two years, pretty much soon after getting them, but every

doctor said implants cause none of this. Two weeks ago I found a PS

who said they sure can cause all of this, he had a patient that was

diagnosed with MS and surprise, she was cured after removal. I had

mine removed tuesday, already feel better, like the drained and

poisened feeling is gone, could be that my body just did not like

them. But I was VERY SICK like you and really felt like I was going

to die. My breasts are smaller than when I started all this, but

are not deformed looking and are rather cute, which is really the

skill of the PS I guess. I am sooooo happy, and think I will be

better. You have got to listen to your gut. Normal healthy women

don't usually develop this weird set of symptoms. I had saline

too. HAng in there it is not easy, but the removal was a piece of

cake compared to the implants. Please email me anytime and I will

answer any questions you have, LOVE Nan email is

I have had mine for 6 years and I can't wait to have

them out. The ps that I have seen says that he will

take them out if it " eases my mind. " We didn't talk

about the procedure. I will be asking many more

questions not that I have read so much info on this

site. I will also call more ps to see if there is

someone better. thanks for responding to me. I have

been very tired and it is difficult to tackle all of

this. thank you.

I am sorry you too are ill, we are not few an are not silly we are in

the thousands. You can get better if you get them removed. I had my

implants for 20 years. I finally had them removed after ten years of

being sick I was told that saline were safe that only women with

silicone were sick. I didn't know that all implants have silicone

because of the shell itself is silicone. It is a shame that people

would think of us as silly when people get sick from all sorts of

things including peanuts.

, I truly hope you stick with us here, and read some more

messages. It will be an education of a lifetime for you! These

women here literally saved my life last year.

I've been explanted since last July 26 and have a new lease on life.

I had implants (bilumen - saline outer/silicone inner) for 20 yrs. I

had 90% of the Silicone Toxicity Disease symptoms. I printed off a

copy and gave it to my family doctor and the plastic surgeon that

operated on me. Although they wouldn't openly admit my illness was

from the implants, they quickly asked me if they could keep a copy

for my file.

My life is getting better by the minute and I'm able to enjoy my

grandkids and even scoot around on the floor with them occasionally!

I'm praying for you everyday,

Love,

Sunny xo Happy Granny of 4 Angels

--I was thinking of that, my doctor turned out to be an angel. I

did not have to argue my point, I barely had to say anything. He is

probably one of the ONLY ones in my area who is convinced implants

make you sick. He is out of the office on vacation for a few weeks,

but when he gets back I will ask him if it is okay to put him on the

list. It was 4,000, but I can tell he did a really good job, very

even and he took OUT a bunch of scarring (the whole scar underneath

so now I just have the vertical (the areola is healing from the last

surgery, He also does the internal lift, which my original ps does

not do, and I have a little perkiness from that. I have sort of

loose skin from my pregnancies and they are not 20 year old

breasts, but mine were never very dense even at 20, so all things I

think he did a great job with what I had. And also very even

looking. I will surely post as soon as he agrees. Nan-
