Numbness and Tingling in Hand

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just came across your group while looking into the cause of a problem I have

had for a few years.

In addition to having lost some feeling in my right breast after saline implants

in 2002(under the muscle), for the past few years, I have had problems with

timgling in my fingers. I have seen orthopedists, nuerologists, etc,

etc...thinking it had to do with my neck which spasms quite often. All to no

avail-my last path led me to a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, which I do not buy

into. A few weeks ago, it dawned on me that it may be the implants, not a

medical condition.

Every morning, regardless of how I sleep-back, side etc...the thumb, index and

middle finger on my right hand (same side as breast that lost sensitivity) is

dead. I mean numb, cold, no feeling. Ater a few hours it comes back 'to life'

but easily goes from fine, to pins and needles, in various positions (above

head, shampooing, driving, typing right now)

Has anybody had a similar experience and was it attributed to the implants? Any

feedback is greatly appreciated!! R.I.

Yes,

I had the same problem...my doctor diagnosed me with carple tunnel. Then when the same issue pop up in my left hand..I knew there was more to it. Within weeks after the left hand started with the same symptoms, my legs got it. A month later, I was no longer able to walk without help. This all started six years after getting my implants. I deteriorated fast and I felt my life slipping away. I even started to have swelling in my brain causing nerve pain and damage in my cranial nerves. This group helped me find my way. The wonderful ladies here helped me find a good doctor to varify my concerns and take out my implants. My recovery started 24 hours after explantation and it took me years to get my health back. Do me a favor, spend time here, listen to the ladies, and take your health seriously. I learned that my boobs do not define me....but they did almost take me.

, how soon after the implant surgery did the first carpal tunnel type

symptoms show up for you?

Thanks.

Many of the women on the breast cancer list are choosing the newer implants

thinking that the inside siliconemust be safer than the old type. Gummy Bear

sounds so safe and huggable!

Personally, I think the sleeve/envelope/cover with its silicone and heavy metals

is to be feared as well as the inner silicone.

To All, I haven't been on this forum in almost 2 years. I have been explanted for over 2 years now. The reason for deciding to have mine removed was because of numbness in my right side of my body. Mostly in my face and right arm. Oh, and brain fog. My twin sister also had the same problem which occured 2 years before me. We both had implants. My neurologist recommended that I have them removed. I did, and immediately felt "cured". However, I was warned by a few women on this web site that my symptoms might come back. They sure did. Although I feel much better, I still battle with numbness. I had my hormones checked several times along with a host of other blood work that was performed. Nothing shows up! I guess this is a good thing, but it keeps me wondering. By

the way, I was 40 years old when I had them removed. I really miss the way that my body looked with the implants, but it is not worth taking chances for vanity. I wish I had some answers for you. Through other research, I have also come up with the possibility that this may have been a viral infection. One doctor told me that I have the symptoms of early MS. My brother in law is a physician, and he said this doctor is full of --well, I can't repeat it. Anyway, everyone has a different opinion. Best Wishes!

Sheila,

Thank you so much for coming back to the forum to share your recovery

experiences. Life is much better without implants, isn't it? Many women find

that they love their natural breasts much more...they're soft, warm and all our

own.

I wanted to make a suggestion regarding the numbness and tingling. Have you

ever tried nutritional yeast? I buy it in big containers from www.iHerb.com. I

like the NOW brand. This is full of the B vitamins, and I found that any

tingling I had going on has resolved well.

I love the taste of it, too. I can get this down quite easily just putting

several heaping teaspoonfuls in water. In the past, I found that I had a

nauseous reaction to taking B vitamins, but with the nutritional yeast, I have

none of that response.

Thanks again...wishing you wellness,

Patty

Sheila,

By the way, how is your twin sister? Does she still have her implants, or did

she remove them also?

GG,

Yes, this is different from Brewer's Yeast. I am allergic to brewers yeast and

it makes me feel sick; however, I can take lots of Nutritional Yeast flakes and

I do not have any reaction.

This is what the label states:

" Now pleasant tasting Nutritional Yeast flakes are produced from a specially

selected strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This yeast is grown on enriched

purified cane sugar and beet molasses under carefully controlled conditions.

This is a primary grown yeast and is therefore NOT a brewery by-product as is

brewer's yeast. This ensures freedom from Candida Albicans yeast. "

Re: Re: Numbness and Tingling in Hand

patty;

is this different than brewers yeast? do you know if it bothers someone if

theyre prone to candida or yeast infection?

thanks patty

I also wanted to state that I have been taking this product for several months

in large quantities (at least 2 heaping Tablespoons a day, sometimes twice a

day) and I have not encountered any issues regarding a yeast infection vaginally

or anywhere else.

Yeasts and bacteria are part of the friendly flora of our gut. There are good

and bad guys, so naturally, taking this yeast product would be on the " good "

side.
