Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 , I had Mentor double lumen, gel and saline. A number of us had silicone here. You are very welcome.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi , I'm sure you will find as much help and support as I have from this group. And it's okay to have had gel implants (I did). How long have you been implant-free? Bindi Re: Re: new to group.... 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...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Lynda, do you know if anyone else made bi-lumen other than Mentor. Dr. Blais will have to tell me what manufacturer made mine, as I can't obtain my old records. That was twenty years ago. Sunny > > >I'm new to group today.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yes, several manufacturers made bi-lumen implants. I don't recall just who they were, but I used to know.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 , Seems like that's what most doctors say - can't possibly be the implants but yet so many of us get sick with similar symptoms. They think we're crazy so they put us on antidepressants. If people can react to so many other things, like latex, peanuts, etc., I don't know why there is such denial when it comes to implants. I got sick right away, had them six months, and had them removed. Sis > > I have had my saline implants for 5 years and have had mono shortly > after.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 , You are most certainly welcome here!! Not everyone that comes here has or had saline, and we want to help. Did you have your implants removed? Sis --- In , Crocker <dwcrn@...> wrote: > > I'm new to group today.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Anyone on here have chroniclly inflammed sinuses? Post-op mandibular augmantation 7 years. repetitive osteomylitis for 1 year following treated with clindamycin(joke now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 yeah, I do. Also have osteomyelitis of the jaw. Welcome to the list by the way. I was just planning to give an update on my situation when you asked: I had my follow up appointment with the new allergist/immunologist yesterday. Cat Scans show inflammation of both maxillary sinuses with the right one being really bad and left one mild. The really good news is my other 4 sinuses are clear, which is an improvement. I also had allergy testing done, and the only thing I'm allergic to is mold. Doc thinks the lingering sinus inflammation could be mold allergy based. The bad thing is I've been on antifungals forever and spray amphotericin B for a year now and haven't beat it. In fact, it's gotten worse in that I started having daily migraines (most are right-sided) which I know are somehow related to my sinuses because if I sleep propped up in bed, I don't get the headaches. Doc's adding another fungal spray and I will go back in 3 weeks to see if there's any improvement. At this point, I'm hoping I can just get the migraines under control because I think my other symptoms are still related to the infection in my jaw rather than my sinuses. Especially considering my sinuses have improved a somewhat. I'll keep everyone posted. penny From: kelleigh_k <kelleigh_k@...>Subject: [infections] New to group....infections Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 7:29 PM Anyone on here have chroniclly inflammed sinuses?
