Hello all

I know I rarely post on here, but I do read the posts. I'm needing

some help

with a new problem that has entered my family. It seems that my 16

year old

daughter has a tumor growing from her spinal cord into her lung and

on her

aorta. This is called a Schwannoma. She will be scheduled for surgery

in

about 2 weeks. The doctor has informed us that she will very probably

come

out of surgery paralyzed from the chest down. I'm desparately trying

to find

a support group for her as a teen and I'm not having much luck. If

any of

you knows of one, please let me know. This is going to be a difficult

things

for her as she is the top track runner on the girl's team at her high

school. Thank you all for your support.

Hi ,

Hair falling out is definitely a sign that something is up and alot of women

with implants have experienced this. There used to be a website that even talked

about hair loss and implants, but the link is no longer working so I took it

down. But definitely it is associated.

Some women have unfortunately not experienced their hair coming back easily even

after explant. The reasons for hair loss can be varied....it can be a vitamin

deficiency, hormonal issues, a mineral issue, or a combination. So, to fix the

problem, you have to know the cause and that is not easily figured out.

Many women with implants have thyroid issues, so you might want to start looking

there. Have you had any testing done? Even if you have, the doctor may tell you

that you are falling into the " normal " ranges, but the problem with that is that

it may not be " normal " for you. I've seen this happening when women start to go

into hypothyroidism and their TSH numbers are changing, but the doctor sees the

numbers as being normal. It's a very poorly treated condition by most MD's.

Usually an endocrinologist is needed and they still sometimes are too

conservative.

You can use supplements at home for treating hair loss, such as Biotin,

essential oils, and the herb horsetail, which is high in natural silica. Try

also using natural shampoos, rather than ones filled with sodium laurel sulfate,

and other damaging chemicals.

I hope this helps! I am not sure if your hair loss will stop, but my guess is

that the implants have contributed to the dysfunction in your body, based on the

frequency with which we have seen this complaint. I can say with confidence

they haven't helped in the least!

> Hi I am going to have my implants removed July 6.  I have alot of symptoms but

one that bothers me the most mentally is my hair falling out from all over.  I

have new growth so I don't have any bald spots yet.  I was wondering if any of

you had this?  If so did it get better once you were explanted?  Did it take

very long to get better?  Or did yours continue to fall out?  Thankyou for

everything.
