Re:Steve ... new wife sick with new saline implants ...

[Guest guest]

Steve, I admire a man who is so concerned about his wife's health

that he would seek out help like you have. You're in the right

place! We've all been made sick by our " safe " saline breast

implants. Much in the same exact way your wife began her illness. I

got mine in 8/1999 and by 11/1999 I was going back and forth to

doctors with terrible fatigue and pain. One of the first things I

noticed was the pain in my hands and that they would constantly fall

asleep when I was typing. Then the brain fog got so bad that I

couldn't figure out what I was doing or where I was going half the

time. I remember standing in my office staring at huge stacks of

research that I had been working on the prior 7 months (before

implants). I couldn't remember what I had done and basically had to

start all over again. I never related any of it to my implants until

almost 4 years later. Not to mention the fact that all of the

doctors said it couldn't be the implants because they were only salt

water! I think most of us have a difficult time finding a doctor

that believes us. I do know that the best thing to do is to get them

out and to get the best surgeon to do it. There are a list of

doctors on this site that we have used and had good results from. I

travelled from VA to MA to get mine out. It was expensive but worth

it. I hope that both of you will find the answers and the help

you're looking for. If you haven't yet, read our stories and you'll

be amazed at how much like your wife we all are. Go to Files and

then Implant/Explant stories.
