Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Hi everybody. This is my first post. I want to thank all you girls for all the information and guidance you have given me. I have silicone implants and have been suffering for the past 2 years. I have had 9 implant surgeries, been to at least a dozen doctors, all of which said there is nothing wrong with me. My new internist, the " Boutique " doctor, who costs $4000 a year and only takes 300 patients, so that one can receive the ultimate in medical care, wanted to put me in psychiatric facility last summer, telling my children that I was having hallucinations and paranoia and put me on a drug called Zyprexa. Went home, looked up the drug, it is administered for PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA! At that point, I had no idea what was wrong with me. All testing was negative. Every specialist I saw,the " Bests of Boston " assured me implants were not related to my symptoms. I believed them! I felt like I was self-destructing. I searched 24/7 until one day while searching " fungus " , I clicked on a link and a new world opened up to me. There it was, SILICONE RELATED IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION. I was self-destructing, as most of us know. In May, I went to Atlanta for a consultation with Dr. Kolb, and then to Cleveland to see Dr. Feng. Loved both of them, and after much thought and discussion, I am being explanted July 23 by Dr. Feng. As far as litigation is concerned, who are the " Best attorneys " to consult with? What I have learned is to be my own advocate. Thank God I am a stubborn compulsive. Thanks to all of you for the guidance, education, and support. Lana S.
