New to Posting....... Request Assistance.......

[Guest guest]

Hello All!

First time posting. Have been with this group for some time so I have

gotten a lot of info here already from just reading everyone's posts.

Thank you! But still, I am going to a new Dr. in a couple of weeks

and would appreciate some input. I have looked in the files and

database but am wondering what tests other than the ones listed below

that I copied here>>>.... there are certain blood tests that can be

done that will find abnormalities associated with autoimmune

diseases. We find that many women don't always have abnormal blood

work initially, but as time goes on, some have shown elevations in

ANA levels, rheumatoid factors, abnormal thyroid tests, sed rates,

complements and other markers.......

I have heard it is not a good idea to tell the Doctor you suspect

implants as most are not open enough,although, this is a new MD I am

going to a first time visit with. He works with herbs also, that

tells me he is progressive and may be more open to helping me.

( My first Doctor told me to remove them but offered no help

whatsoever, LOL, I realize this is not uncommon!) So I am trying this

new Doctor hoping he can help me. I have done healing on my own

through the gamut of herbs and alternative supplements that this

group has pretty much heard of. My Goal is that he may add some

healing modalities such as Chelation etc, or at least verify that I

have something immune related going on.

Questions:

Should I tell him I had pain in my breast and had them removed, and

am taking a host of alternative medications?

Or should I not admit I believe it is the silicone leakage I had and

just let him ask me about what the last Doctor found, which was the

broken implant and just leave it at that - let him run what tests he

wants and not tell him what I am doing.

If I say something should I mention the tests info above or not?

Also, I heard somewhere but not in the files - there is a way to

check for silicone in the blood ,mentioned in a recent post.

If I have blood tests done, I am taking so many alternative

supplements and things my guess is that may keep blood tests from

showing anything wrong. The alternative supplements help

tremendously but do not keep me from needing antibiotics periodically

( that alleviate migraines, vomiting, fatigue) as I apparently still

have an infection in the breast and/or random silicone poisoning.

(Had capsulectomy, but didn't know to insist on drains and antibiotic

rinse) I had them removed last December and realize it takes a

couple of years or more to clear it out.

Thanks in advance for the support and positive feedback!
