How I wish I had found this web site and others like it 16 months

ago. I am 46 years old and mother of 3. I was in great shape,

worked out with a personal trainer for 11 years. But because my body

fat was so low my boobs, where just skin. (Not bad in a push up

bra). But I was getting remarried and I thought it would be nice to

have firm boobs. So I had saline, smooth shell implants put in. I

recovered very quickly from the surcery, and everything seemed fine.

Until strange things started happening. The first thing I noticed

was that I was losing a lot of hair, than my eye sight changed.

chalked these things up to stress and age. Than I started having

heel pain, which spread. I could hardly walk in the mornings. I went

to the foot doctor who shot my heels with cordisone and told me I

have planters faschitics (spelled wrong). Than I started having back

pain where my kidney is on the right side. Had tests done they found

blood in my urine but said it was and infection. This pain came back

3 or 4 times in the last year. Than about 8 weeks ago the pain was

really bad and I had terriable joint pain in my albows,and I was

always tried. I deceided to go to the doctor. He set up an

appointment for me to have my kidney tested by injecting dye into

it. and told me he thought I had RA. My kidney test came out

normal, just couldn't explain the blood. I was set to make an

appointment with a RA doctor. And a Light went off in my head. I

have always be very healthly, what change. I've been sick since I

got married. It couldn't be my new husband. ? Implants..............

I got on the internet and learn about women that had alot of the

same systoms I was having. I called my ps and told him I wanted them

removed now. The next week they were removed. Recovery went really

well. My joint pain was really bad the secound week, but by the

thrid week it was completely gone.I felt great for about two weeks

when all of a sudden the pain was back. I am not tried any more and

after 4 weeks, my hair has stoped falling out. The joint pain comes

and goes I'll be good for a week and have pain for 3 to 4 days. My

feet have really improved. I don't cry in the mornings any more

because of the pain. I was wondering if foods or wines could make

systoms worse. I noticed that if I have red wine the joint pain gets

worse. or chew sugarless gum. Oh I forgot to mention that in the

last year I have gained 30 pounds. Nothing I have tried has help me

lose any weight I just keep gaining. Could this be because of the

implants. Any help on recovery would be greatly appreciated. Thank

you!
