I'm too late for helping, but I really don't believe there are any tests that can tell us implants are making us sick. There has been some discussion of a blood test for silicone antibodies, but that seems to raise some eyebrows too, and basically, all of us had to go by gut instinct when it comes to knowing if the implants were the cause of our symptoms or not. The real test comes after explant and we get better.... then we have all the proof we need.

Subject: test info...can anyone help?

Does anyone know of a test that can be administered by an internist that candetermine if implants are making someone sick?I got my teeth cleaned the other day by a girl I went to high school with.We were chatting and catching up and I told her about my ordeal with from my implants. Her mouth dropped open and she told me that her momhas had implants for over 10 years and has been sick and can't find out whatthe problem is. They never linked her illness to her implants! So, I toldher to give my number to her mom so she can call me if she wants to askquestions. Turns out, she is seeing an internist tomorrow and I thought I'djust tell her what tests to ask the doctor for (if there are any) instead ofsending her to the place where I was tested (insurance didn't cover it andit took a long time).Can anyone help?
