Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi, I had a double-lumen (two pockets, one saline, one silicone) after a unilateral mastectomy. Where are you and do you still have your implants? Are you having symptoms? You can find tons of info. on silicone implants on my website: www.siliconesurvivors.net and there are links to many, many other sites. Command Trust has lots of really good info on silicone implants also. Many women on this site had silicone implants also, I am, by far, not the only one. I am sure many of us can give you information.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi, I had double-lumen also, like Lynda. Mine were Surgitek, which I found out after I had them removed and identified. There are also a couple of other good forums - Explantation.com and also http://www.geocities.com/implantinfonet/. All of these are positive and informative. Each are slightly different focus, but all offer support and information. There are more doctors now, I believe, who are seeing enough implant patients to know there is a problem with these implants - unfortunately, they are still not nearly enough. That's why I frantically googled and searched to find information and someone who had been where I had been. I had a lot of 'brain fog' then, but I did manage to find women who steered me toward surgeons who could perform a complete explant, along with capsulectomy. OF course, I first had to learn what the heck that meant! That's why these forums are so important. > >hi...i have silicon implants after a bilateral mastectomy....i was > >invited to join, and am glad to be here.....i hope to find some > >empathy, since the outside world doesn't understand, some suggestions > >on how to deal, and hope maybe i can be supportive to other's...i am a > >good listener! > > > > > > > > > > > >Opinions expressed are NOT meant to take the place of advice given by > >licensed health care professionals.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Kathie, Welcome to ! . . . You are not alone . . . by no means. There are a lot of women out there who are sick too who haven't made the implant connection yet too! . . . Unfortunately their doctors encourage that line of thinking. If you can find a way to accept that feeling sick with implants IS NORMAL, and that you will feel much better after your have them removed, perhaps you can stop stressing over whats going on with your body. That alone can help considerably. You will need to find a doctor who will remove your implants properly. Preferably en bloc, or at least a total capsulectomy. . . We can recommend some doctors. While you are waiting, you can start improving your health through your nutrition. No sugar, whole grains only, no processed foods. Plenty of non-chlorinated water. It can be assumed you have a systemic fungal problem because that goes with the territory of almost all implanted women. This will improve with a healthy diet. However you can help it along by adding probiotics to your diet. Probiotics contain healthy organisms that get killed off when our immune systems are suppressed or when we take certain drugs, including antibiotics. With a good surgeon, you will probably look as good, if not better than your did before implants. You should not be disfigured or deformed. If a plastic surgeon tells you that, run! All this takes determination, time and patience. You may find your insurance will cover removal . . . if not you'll find it's one of the best investments you've ever made in yourself anyway!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi, we have all heard of more severe kids who have improved, so please do not feel discouraged by some idiot telling you there is nothing that can be done!!!!! btw no personal experience but have you heard/tried of Amy Yasko and her protocol? She has a good reputation for helping older/tougher/non responders, the stuff is quite complicated but there are many parents on her site who know a lot and are willing and able to give advice. www.autismanswer.com Best, Natasa > > My son is 6 years old and we are getting ready to go to a DAN dr. for > our 1st visit on 9/11.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Welcome to the list. Have you done a DDI hair elements test and applied counting rules, you might ask the doctor's office to go ahead and order it or send the test kit to you now, so you can go ahead and get that done. There are families on this list who are seeing improvements with teens and twenty-somethings, so 6 is not too old. Please read the FAQs of this list and educate yourself about Andy's protocol as many DAN! docs suggest dangerously high and infrequent doses of chelators. Please also educate yourself about why " challenges " are such a bad idea. Lots of DAN! docs also try to get people to do these and again they're dangerous. Is your son taking any supplements? Have you tried enzymes, probiotics? I presume your son has NO mercury amalgam dental fillings? When were his most recent vaccines?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hi, I joined a biomed group in Australia of families who support their kids through DAN/pfeiffer doctors (or sometimes good naturopaths with the right knowledge and sometimes just doing it on their own). The parents on the group all speak of the improvements they are seeing in their children, plus the issues on their journey. I am aware of quite a few parents who claim their children are what they term " recovering ASD " , and a few that have cured their children but continue with stringent diets to protect them (these kids will still react to toxins in their diets and environments moreso than other kids. The children who start earlier appear to respond at a quicker rate, but that said, even adult ASD's respond to a sound diet and some supplementation to some degree -- only a parent can rate this !!!. My Angelman Syndrome child also has autism, and I have applied diet, some supplementation (that I can afford) and I now have consistent eye contact from him -- for the first time in 11 years. I do not see a DAN doctor due to financial limitations, so don't have their specific products, nor have I done any of the tests yet. There is so much information out there that is free. The benefits of DAN testing is to " refine " the types and amounts of supps that the child will receive. What I have learnt is that these kids ALL need lots of Omega 3's and Omega 6's from the right types of foods and supps, are critically low in zinc and need support here, and all need huge support in healing the gut. Using a good cod liver oil is also paramount - Nordic Naturals is highly touted on the website: www.generationrescue.org My son has been dismissed for 11 years when I questioned his chronic illhealth. The medical system always said it was due to his syndrome. I now know he has significant digestive and toxicity issues that need to dealt with. I sent another post with a great link to Natasha McBride and Donna Gates. Natasha is a neurologist in Great Britain who cured her OWN severely autistic son, so has a great deal of credibility in her approach to healing. I am an advocate of her approach to regaining health for my family. Best wishes na Australia > > My son is 6 years old and we are getting ready to go to a DAN dr. for > our 1st visit on 9/11.

How can she tell me > that about a 6 year old boy with autism? My son was dx by a very prominent pediatric neurologist. His dx is " classic Kanner's autism " , severe, low functioning. She told me I should just put him in an institution, enjoy my other kids, and move on with my life. My son was 3-1/2 at the time. Now he is no longer autistic =) >>He is non-verbal and has many sensory > problems. What helped my son with language is written here http://www.danasview.net/issues.htm >> My question is, is there anything specific I shoul be aware > of before we go to the DAN doc, and has anyone had a child this > severly autistic and has improved dramaticly and how long does it > usually take to see results? My son is 10-1/2 now. It took a looooooooong time, 7 years. At the time I was starting out, calling DANs, none of them would accept him, because of his dx. They all agreed that he was genetic. So I proved them ALL wrong and I recovered him myself, with lots of help from other parents on the internet. Hopefully, you won't have the same experience when you see your DAN.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I never had mono symptoms but was told that my bloodwork came back positive for it.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi , Welcome to the group. Many of us here have received invaluable support from this group for the problems we have associated with having implants. Did you get a blood test for mono, or was that your doctor's diagnosis based on your symptoms? I am asking because the symptoms of mono can be the very mush the same as the symptoms some women get from implants. I don't know if you can get mono from getting implants, but you certainly can get very sick from them. Bindi new to group.... I have had my saline implants for 5 years and have had mono shortly after. My doctor says it can't be the implants, because if there was mold or fungus they would be hard. He mentioned taking a anti depressent to increase my seritonin levels. Anybody have similiar circumstances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Implants can cause your immune system to be suppressed, so any virus or bacterial infection can take hold. I would say your implants have caused some immune system problems, and that is why you have had illnesses. Many women have reported this.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 " My doctor says it can't be the implants, because if there was mold or fungus they would be hard. " That simply is not true. " He mentioned taking a anti->depressent to increase my seritonin levels. Anybody have similiar circumstances? " I became depressed from being chronically illness. Anti-depressants helped me tremendously, but of course, so did having my implants removed! It concerns me that doctors prescribe antidepressants so freely. I do believe they can be very helpful in some circumstances. I also think they are presribed like candy - especially with women. That is disturbing. > > >I have had my saline implants for 5 years and have had mono shortly > >after.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 or compromised - some of us have autoimmune problems (overactive immune system)... I am not quite sure of the relationship between the two - other than one is too low and the other is too active.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Sorry, but I think he is wrong! If you have mold or fungus, your implants won't be hard. I wonder what in the world make him think that? What makes them hard is the scar tissue contracting around the implant, and that can happen to anyone whether they have fungus, mold or not. Mono is a good sign that your implants had an effect on your immune system, in my opinion. You may want to consider other options than drugs to find the answers to any symptoms you are having. Spend some time reviewing the files on our site and you will see a pattern of illness here that is pretty astounding. We wonder how the doctors can continue to say that implants don't cause disease....we know better because of the women that have gotten explanted and healed of all or most symptoms. Are you having any other issues besides the mono? Welcome.....we hope we can help you find the answers you need.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I am not sure that it is one way vs another....looking at it in the right light you can see that they both create a situation of immune system fatigue. In an overactive immune system, the warriors are attacking your own body in addition to the invaders and toxins. You may not have any more warriors, you have the same warriors taking on more enemy, mistakenly. In an underactive immune system, there aren't enough warriors to fight off the invaders to begin with. So, either way, you get a worn out immune system. That's why we stress the importance of immune system support and detoxification. If you can kill off the viral, fungal and bacterial load and eliminate as many toxins as possible, perhaps you can help the immune system to calm down. The drug prednisone just knocks the warriors down to help calm down the immune system..... which helps you feel better, but you still have a toxic load to deal with, and in fact have more toxins due to the drug itself. It really only prolongs the situation in the long run, doing long term damage (in my opinion). But I know some people are desperate for relief, and in life threatening conditions, it may be necessary.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 , welcome to Saline Support! You definitely have found a very loving and supportive site here. I joined several months ago when I still had my 20 yr. old implants in my body. I was sicker than a dying dog and these ladies brought me back to life. The information I learned here led me to researching implants, and WOW! Was I ever shocked at all the symptoms I had of silicone toxicity. Saline implants also have silicone in the outer shell, by the way. This is something I did not know. I am explanted -6 weeks ago - and feeling so much better already. Especially psychologically. It'll take awhile to detox and grieve the loss of my good health for the last 10 years especially, but I'm doing great! Welcome, again, and if there's anything you need let me know.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Me, too, but for the first 6-7 years after explant, parts of my immune system were so elevated that I never got anything but pneumonia. Now I get everything. But no part of my immune system is elevated now, a few parts are still suppressed. Lynda At 11:16 PM 9/11/2006, you wrote: >I used to NEVER get viruses or the >flu. Never.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Funny, I was just telling my husband that I'm actually encouraged because I'm catching a cold. My immune system has been so overactive since I got implants, and even though I know catching a cold means it's suppressed, I'm hoping that's a sign that it's coming down from high gear.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Sis, I felt that way also.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm new to group today. I was surprised and happy to find this list. I've felt so alone with no contact with other breast implant affected women. I have a good Autoimmune, Connective Tissue Disease list that I feel comfortable with, but I've been longing to hear what is happening to women with these disorders who had implants. I had gel implants; I don't think that will cause me to be unwelcome here...I hope not! :-) Quiet is how I am, and that is how I will probably be for awhile, 'til I feel as if I know some of you. But I won't just lurk forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
