Hip replacement/ illness

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to tell everyone my ex husbands story. He is the

father of my three children.

Two years ago he was is an alful car cash. We almost lost him. Spent

over a month in the trama center in San Dieago. Well he had to have

a hip replacement. Starting last year he started not feeling very

well, always sick , sleeping alot etc etc. A couple of weeks ago he

called me and told me that he didn't think he was going to be around

much longer, (weird phone call) he also asked our daughter who is 17

to go to his house so he could show her everything that was

important in case he died. I called him back and asked him want is

going on. But he just didn't want to talk about it with me. From

what my children have told me he is sick just like we all were or

are. He has alot of the same syptoms. I don't think that the doctors

are helping him just like most don't help us. I told the kids to

tell him it could be the hip replacement causing the troble. But

what in the hell do you do. He can't have his hip taken out.

Would it help if he was put on a drug to surpress his immune system

like people with RA???

This is prof to me that its not just breast implants that can make

you sick, its all implants.

You are right about all implants. I have read other articles in the

past stating the same. People with silicone in their bodies --no

matter where it is, have a good chance of reacting to it.

I think it might benefit your husband to still try some detoxifying

and immune support. Does he have more arthritis like symptoms? He

might benefit from going on the www.roadback.org site. This site is

for people with all types of rheumatic illnesses-- diagnosed and

undiagnosed illnesses. It is about antibiotic therapy which for

reasons not totally known, helps with all of these conditions

including ms, als, lyme, and others. Some people believe it is the

antiimflammatory effect that minocycline has on the body, most

others believe it is because these antibiotics kill off mycoplasma

and other organisms that may directly or indirectly cause these

illnesses. It certainly couldn't hurt.

I have also read repeatedly that many cases of fms, and other

illnesses like RA, etc, follow a trauma to the body such as a car

accident. Again, we don't know why that is so, but that is often

the precipitating feature. If that is the case, he might have

gotten sick even without the hip replacement. So I think it is

definitely worth pursuing going the route we follow plus the

antibiotic route. AT least check out the websites and find out more

about it. I am on doxycycline and it definitely saved my life. I

was developing scleroderma and it is at least keeping me from

getting worse and has brought improvements. I am on very low doses

due to my extreme sensitivity, but I knew the first week that I

started on them they were helping me. My heart calmed way down on

them.

If I were him, I would hold off on immune suppressants. They can be

very serious themselves. But I will say that many people are on

those while trying the antibiotic therapy and manage to wean

themselves off as they improve with the antibiotic therapy.

I really do feel there is hope for your husband, but like so many

others, he has a hard road ahead for awhile. Seriously though, he

should check out the website above and also one called

www.rheumatic.org. AT the roadback, go to the section called

bulletin board and you will see everyone's posting. LThey have a

large group and very willing to help just like here. Your husband

is probably going to need to find a good doctor. I have heard very

good things about a doctor named Dr.Dewitt in tyler texas. He does

cutting edge stuff with chelation, etc. A woman who belongs to the

rheumatic site says he saved her life. she had fast progressing

scleroderma. She does the antibiotic therapy also. Most of the

symptoms, if not all, that women on this site exhibit, are similar

to the symptoms of people with rheumatic disease. I will try to

keep him in my prayers

Cricket,

I second that about all implants being capable of making people

sick. My mother is in the same boat as your husband, only with knee

replacements. She got them and then went downhill steadily in

health. Pain all over her body, fatigue, she has terrible skin

rashes, especially on her legs...at first they told her rheumatoid

arthritis, then they said, nope, fibromyalgia, and now they just

kinda don't know what to tell her, but they did put her on

plaquenil. They do know it is autoimmune.

I think she takes other drugs as well. But I find it interesting

that she didn't have any of these symptoms until after the knee

replacements..not before. Seems to be connected to me....

But it's the same boat as your ex. She can't remove the knees, which

are made of titanium and silicone by the way, and so she will be

suffering the rest of her life. In this case, the only thing that

can be offered is drugs to help control the symptoms. There will be

no way to cure this illness.

I still try to help my mother by offering suggestions on natural

ways to deal with the rashes, or improving her eating habits, but it

is hard for her to change her ways, just like it is for most people.

I think the best we can do is be there for them when they need us.

Thank God we can have hope when we remove our implants, we can get

better. These poor souls have no such hope.

I'm sorry to hear your children have to see their dad suffer.

Hugs,

Patty

Cricket, sorry you're husband is so ill. I agree with you it is all implants that have the potential of making people sick, just as silicone and salines made us sick. I've also said there is big money in artifical limbs and manufactures don't want to give up the big business. I can see the risk for someone who needs a hip replacement but not for women wanting bigger breasts. I'm so sorry he is suffering as he is. Hope a resolution can be found. God Bless you and your family so much,

Cricket, that is horrible. Is he going to follow any natural treatments, and what a stickin hard place to be, its not like he can take them out. My father in law has two hip replacements and now has arthrits. Its uncanny.
