Hi Everyone

April 3, 2005

Hello Amy, and others with kidney ston problems.

i was Dx'd june of 2000, and from day one I have been taking

ALLOPURINOL 300MG , I was told at the time (if I remember this

right) that the meds I take for the leukemia have a tendancy to cause

kidney stones, and that the allopurinol will help to stop the formong

of kidney stones. I have not have any stones to deal with .. and I

know that they are so very painful. I hope that you will feel better

soon Amy.

( sorry this responce is so late in comming , but I have been off

from the computer for over a week, and im just now getting caught up.)

Hugs everyone,

Possible withdrawal symptoms can occur.

Thanks for the reply , I spoke with the pharmacist and he said

the same thing. I'm not sure how long I have to be codeine free. Does

anyone know? Does it matter that it's a very low dose?

You need to be off of it probably 14 days. If it's an ultra low dose maybe 7 to

10 days.

Thanks ! I will aim for later next week :0)

Hi ,

I don't think I told you my story in the e-mails that we have

exchanged, so I just wanted to let you know that I got sick

immediately as well. I had my implants put in on May 10, 2005, and

had them removed on November 7, 2005. My anniversary is coming up and

I find I'm getting a bit upset, because it has been quite a traumatic

year, but once I got the implants out alot of healing began. It takes

some people years before they experience problems, but for some people

(like us) it happens right away. Some women never seem to get sick

from implants, and I'm not sure why that is, but obviously many of us

are sensitive to whatever it is the implants are made from, or perhaps

our bodies recognize something foreign in our bodies and an immune

response takes place, and our bodies just go haywire trying to get rid

of the the implants. I don't think you've told me what your symptoms

are, but right after I had my surgery, my lymph nodes swelled up, and

I had alot of anxiety and fatique. My muscles ached, and I had pains

in my feet that I never had before, and pains in my arms and hands. I

suddenly had alot of heartburn and digestive issues. About a month

after surgery my joints began to swell up, and I had shooting pains

throughout my body (especially my head and feet). About 4 months

after surgery my joint swelling got really bad, I got dizzy, had daily

headaches and I had a hard time concentrating. That's about the time

my fingers and toes got numb. I recall there were others who have

posted here who didn't have the joint issues, but had the dizziness

and headaches. I waited six months to have mine removed, but wish I

would have had them out within a month like you are. I think you're

smart for recognizing quickly that something is not right and dealing

with it before things get worse.

One thing you can do for yourself while you await your surgery is take

extremely good care of yourself. Drink tons of water if you can, and

cut out sugar from your diet. I noticed when I would eat sugar, my

symptoms would get worse. I started purchasing extra virgin olive

oil, unfiltered, and would put that on my salad, and I also switched

to sea salt. Alot of women here switch to organic food as well. I'm

not an expert on this topic, but there are some women who have been

coming here for years and can probably give you some good advice on

how to care for yourself as you await explant.

,

You're very fortunate to recognise your problems so

early! . . . And to have a surgeon who is supportive!

So many tell women it can't possibly be their

implants, so they run in circles trying to find out

what's wrong.

We recommend that women have their implants removed

" en bloc " . . . That means removing the capsules with

the implants still inside . . . In your case, your

capsule may not have had time to form. Nevertheless,

tell your surgeon that you want every last bit of

capsule removed if it has formed.

Do take very good care of yourself in the meantime. .

.. Oil of Oregano and raw, crushed, fresh garlic are

both natural antibiotics/antifungals and antioxidents.

I'd suggest trying them to see if you can put your

symptoms on hold until you can have your implants

removed.

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

May 7, 2006

Well, when I got them in, everyone said, oh your symptoms are fine.

Well every night I had bad sweats, and they said it was the pain

medicine, but I have been on that pain medicine before and it never

made me like that. I can barely eat anything, I really don't have an

appetite. My mouth is constantly dry and I drink tons of water. My

body is weak, and I realize I just had surgery, but come on, not

being able to even take care of my own body 7 days afterward. My

surgeon is being very supportive. I go back in on Tuesday to remove

my stitches, but I am still trying to see if I can have them out

sooner than a month. I am having such anxiety and I am wishing I

could just go back to last week and never have had it done. He is

saying there is a chance of infection because of them being taken

out so soon, but it seems to me it would be better to have them out

before any king of pocket was made and the implant settled. I am

going to beg and plead and ask if I can start antibiotics right away

to help with infection. I think everything will work out fine, it is

just being a wreck for the next couple of weeks waiting and waiting.

I am crying non stop and kicking myself in the butt everyday. Thank

you for the support, it is much appreciated.

May 7, 2006

Yes, we do have women whose bodies simply reject implants, and it is

better that it happens sooner than to go for years as symptoms build

up. Your case is not unusual, but more likely it takes a few months

to several years.

, My heart aches for you my dear. I wish you didn't have to go through this. I wish we all didn't have to go through this. I had mine in for six years, my body became weaker and weaking unknowingly during that time. Eventually, I had body weakness and pain so severe I couldn't keep my job or go to my nursing classes. I wish I could have had an immediant reaction, so the doctors would believe me, that it was my implants making me sick. I know this is nothing like you dreamed it would be and for that I am truley sorry. Please stay with us and let us help you through this difficult time.

,

I can understand how miserable and upset you must

feel.

HOWEVER, one of the worst things for our health is

stress! . . . Even know, twelve years after being

explanted, I get sick all over again if I allow myself

to stress over things. . .

It requres some mental gymnastics . . . everyone must

find their own way. . . Meditating, praying, walking,

music, rationalizing, exercising . . . the list goes

on and on. . . What do you really enjoy doing? . . .

Find as much time for that as you can . . . Even if

you don't feel up to doing it physically, find some

videos/books, etc. that can put you in a relaxed frame

of mind.

I know you're sick . . . but if you continue to

stress, you can make yourself sicker! And you don't

need that. Everything will work out . . . hopefully

sooner rather than later. . . But, for now, find you

inner peace . . . God will take care of the rest!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

Hi - I really feel for you too. I have felt that way too - if

I could just turn back the clock. The one good thing, as Rogene

pointed out, at least you got sick right away and you KNOW it was

from the implants. It took me years of pain to figure it out. I am

six months out from explant, and it has taken all of that six months

to really notice significant improvement (I had them for almost nine

years). Try to stay calm so you can make good decisions. God

bless, and we will all help to get you through this nightmare.

Thank you to everyone. I actually came on here this morning because

I had a very very bad night. I could not stay asleep for more than

an hour at a time. My back was killing me and I was having crazy

dreams. My mouth has this taste to it that I can not explain, and no

matter how much water I drink it is still there. I can not stand

this. I want to rip them out of my chest. I know that I have work

and school today to help me get my mind off, but I can't help but

think to myself that my doc wants me to wait a month to have them

taken out because he thinks after they drop and look normal, I am

going to want them. I go tomorrow and I will keep you posted. Thank

you for the support.

I think you're right about your doctor! . . . Please

insist that he remove your implants ASAP! . . . It's

ridiculous to make you wait when you're suffering so

badly!

--- You hit more than the nail on the head, Rogene! Thank God I have

grandchildren to play with, otherwise my stress level would be sky

high! The other day my daughter-in-law and I and - 6 and

Emmma - 3 (special needs) were travelling back from the city after a

long hard, hot day of shopping. Emma was acting out terribly and

screaming alot so we all decided to join in. In 5 minutes we were

all laughing so hard, I had to pull over to use a washroom!! lol

You're right, Rogene, whatever it takes - I've been watching a video

by a female comedian - her name escapes me at the moment - it's

called the Joy of Stress - it's hilarious - I hadn't laughed out

loud for that long for awhile!

Take care of yourselves, take a nurturing bath, and don't forget to

BREATHE!!

Love 'n Peace,

Sunny

HI , Yes, unfortunately we have. Some women just can' t seem to handle the implants from day one. I hope you can get them out soon. The sooner the better, although there are no guarantees. Hopefully your body will view this as just a hiccup and get over it quickly. I knew a woman from New York who had her implants for only 4 months and she became very ill with autoimmune symptoms. She got them out quickly, but the doctor left the scar tissue inside her. She did not heal. She ended up going to Dr. Feng for the scar tissue removal, and surprisingly, even though she had her implants for only 4 months, she actually did have scar tissue left that could be seen and needed to be removed. You wouldn't think that in 4 months there could be that much scar tissue, but there was. Everyone is different. Just don't get too whacked

out about it, as stress will be very bad for your health. Just breathe, relax, and get on the phone to get your surgery scheduled with a good doctor as soon as you can. Let us know what is going on. We care, Hugs, Pattyemilyimplant <ero14@...> wrote: I am new here. I am 7 days post op and feeling like hell. It is horrible.

I did emily however my doctor won't admit to me that my body rejected I wish he did. Feel lucky girl you have a good PS mine sucked. I wish to God he would not have left me for dead I have been sick from day one with the symptoms getting bigger and worse daily. I am one year and 3 months post. I just wondered what are some of your symptoms so maybe ours might match up since mine happened early on too???

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone had a good summer. Have not had time to post here much because of

working so much. Work is slowing down now. (finally) Sorry for the hardships

many of you are still facing. Welcome to all the new members. This is a great

place to be. Lots of info.

For those who remember me, I'll give you a brief update. My daughter started

school again. The school went in this time before she started. Cleaned up the

school, upgraded to Merv 11's, basically did everything they needed to. Got

clearance. She has not missed a day, or been sick since school started. First

time since 2001. If we can make it until January, it will be 1 year since she

was hospitalized. YAAAHHHHOOOOOO

My son (different school/this is the school we had all problems w/for the past 3

years) has been well also, since school started. We got his school cleaned up

last year if you remember. They followed the protocol, cleaned, changed the air

filters every month for 6 months, had clearance done before school started.

They also switched to Merv 11's and change them now every 2-3 months. So he

should be good to.

Both schools will have an inspection done in January to ensure no problems are

found. Finally, my kids are safe at school. Well, as safe as we can make it.

We have come a long way since 2001. But, we couldn't have done it without the

help of this group. We have made some good friends, and gotten wonderful

information. I hope that this group helps everyone as much as it has helped us.

Thank you all.

Lovely poem laura! Thanks so much for sharing.

So true that the constant fatigue, bills*, headaches, and chemo side effects can

really take a toll on our good humor and stir up depressing thoughts. It is so

important to have community, and this group is wonderful source of information

and support.

It has been a hard couple of weeks here too and I plan on doing better with

living for today!

Thanks,

[ ] Hi Everyone

It has been a few weeks since I posted. So much has gone wrong in the

last month for my family! One thing right after the other....Four

weeks ago I took my son and dropped him off at Bellermine

University,(so of course I have empty nest and have been kinda

depressed)two days later our air quit on our trailor. It cost 129

dollars for someone to come out and tell us it was actually going to

cost over $1700 to fix it! We did'nt even have the $129 to begin

with....soooo I went out and bought window fans. I cannot take the

Sprycel while it is getting up to almost 100 degree's inside so I have

been off of it for a month! Well about a week later our car broke

down, so now we drive it only when nessacary and hope and pray it

doesnt die. Then two weeks later (last weekend) Ike blew thru Texas

and visited Kentucky!! Our trailor has about $6000 dollars worth of

damage. We went without power or water for about 24 hours. But you

know it coulda been alot worse! A neighbor had their whole roof torn

off, my son went without power for about 4 days and Texas is still

suffering. I am just grateful to God that we still have a roof over

our heads and food! Anyway I said all that to kind of lay the ground

work for why I wrote what I am about to post. From time to time I get

words in my head and they just seem to burst out onto paper. I write

pro's and some poetry. Usually it is when I am kind of

depressed...(you know that artist thing goin on..lol) I start writing

and it is very therapuetic, by the time I am done I usually feel alot

better. I don't usually share alot of my writing but this one I would

like to share....I hope you enjoy and I am sorry all this is so long!

Hugs,

Katy

ps....sorry about some of the spelling, I may not know how to spell it

but I DO know how to use it..lol

Traveling This road so weary and worn............

My heart unravels broken and torn.........

I'm sick, I'm tired, I'm down and out...

Like a farmer after a long hard drought.....

Anguish and despair fill my soul.......

CML carries it's very own set of woe's.......

We carry a burden so heavey and sad.......

Regreting what we have left behind.....

Or maybe just never had.........

The rain pours a cold hard mist........

We search blindly in the darkness and

Stumble upon a list........

Full of knowledge and caring concern......

Strangers meeting in uncertainty......

Falling into one anothers virtual arms.....

Comforting and calling and sharing our pain.....

The fog of confusion begins to fade.....

Drops of golden sun filter into our minds.....

Lush green umbrella's formed of tree's....

Spring into existence......

They fill us with hope.....

People coming together as one.......

Our hearts start to sing.......

Home come's into view......

Suddenly it no longer matters......

How battered and beaten our bodies appear.......

Our spirits soar as our burdens are lifted by unseen hands.....

We are loved and comforted by fellow man.......

Who are we to say......

That maybe, just maybe that was not what He had in mind......

That it was not exactly God's plan.......

To open us up, and make us see......

That we cannot make it alone....it has to be......You and Me!

That was a great poem. It's so perfect. I know that I Love being able to talk to

all of these people that know what my Granny is going through on a day to day

basis.
