Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I know there isn't a definitive answer to this, but is there a general time frame to when you should start to see improvement? Does length of implantation play a role? I had mine 11 months. Most of my symptoms have not returned, but I am stuck with neurological ones, muscle twitches, numbness and tingling. I am guessing the nerves need to repair themselves. I am slowly getting on the vitamins, adding them very slowly because I am so sensitive. I may try a heavy metal detox as well. I am open to other things. I appreciate all comments, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Amount of exposure is just as important as length of implantation, in my 13 yr. experience in this mess. I had my chest dumped full of silicone on explantation, and I was every bid as bad as women who had implants that ruptured or that had them 20-30 yrs.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 -- Beth I just wanted to say that muscle twitches are one of my most persistent symptoms. They act up more any time I detox or support my immune system. I think, at least in my case, that the toxins are released into the muscle and that is what causes it. The stronger method I used to improve my condition, the greater the muscle spasms. I have to walk a fine line in detoxing to keep this from getting overwhelming. Of course, I have been diagnosed with fms for over 20 years. And I do believe that I am making real strides in reducing all my symptoms!! Unfortunately the path to wellness is not linear, it is circular. In other words, alot of symptoms rotate in and out. Just when you think they are gone, they are back. But all in all, they are less frequent and less severe. Eventually they may be permanently gone; but if not, I can live with the cycling! I am greatly encouraged though, and my life is so much better now than 3 years ago!! Stay encouraged and know that you are on your own individual timeline. Trust your instincts and God.
