Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Shari, maybe that's exactly why us, and us specifically are going through this.....maybe not all women who go through this will make the effort to help others.....or try and change the way things are in this crazy world.....making our suffering MEAN something is half the battle won.....I pray fervently that your PS wakes up to the reality of what he's doing.... Which brings me to the next point.... how many PS are being made aware, repeatedly, of this ? I mean, when we get sick, it seems, on average, to take us 3 or 4 years of trekking between 20 or 30 doctors before we work out what's causing it.....and then we go to a PS who we've heard is pro explant or at least aware.....so how many of us end up in front of a PS who is unaware...?I'm speaking purely from my own experience here..... Boy would I love to have a hidden camera and pretend I'm a BA prospect consulting a PS for the first time....to have the false reassurances, sometimes outright lies, on tape, only to be able to show how things are now, 10 years later.......it bugs me that our medical technology is so pathetic that massive systemic poisononing like this cannot show up in some test or scan somewhere that is generally available...and generally accepted and believed.....what does this mean ? That plenty times the docs are thumbsucking stuff, after charging heavily for scans, bloodwork etc that they knew upfront wouldn't really reveal much ? If 95% of implants leak after 10-12 years, ( I'm talking silicone ones), then what is happening to all those women who don't end up having explants ? Are they spending time and money being diagnosed by symptom and not cause, only to fall through the cracks and die from unspecified causes without anyone ever guessing the truth ? I find it very, very hard to believe that someone can have this stuff in their system and still be perfectly fine after 20 years....no matter how robust your system....or am I wrong ?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Fiona, I think the same way about women who still have implants (especially silicone gel) and are having symptoms. Seems like they'd just keep deteriorating until they die of one of the symptoms. My mother-in-law has had silicone gel implants for over 15 years. When I found out my implants were making me sick, I just knew she would be concerned for her own safety as well....but she acts like I'm wrong and whenever the subject comes up or someone asks me about it, she changes the subject really quick. It's sad, really....but I can't force her to believe it. My husband talked to her about it back when I first found out about silicone poisoning and she said she wasn't going to check into it because she's never had problems with them....she has severe arthritis in her hands and shoulder and had a stroke last year, pretty much out of the blue....I MEAN HELLLLOOOOO?. Just so insulting to me that she chooses to ignore it when she sees how sick I am (if she really believes I'm actually sick, that is). AAAAGGGHHHH!!!! So frustrating. Sorry...a little ranting.
