Mom in hospital...doctor says implants have absolutely nothing to do with it

January 9, 2006

My mom, , had her breasts removed and implants put in 7 years

ago because of breast cancer. They caught the breast cancer very

early so she was lucky. She had saline implants put in immediately

after surgery. She recovered, but never seemed quite as energetic

since the implants were put in. She has started having frequent

migraines, nausea, vomiting diarhea, chest pain, pains down her arm,

trembling in her hand, either being to cold or too hot and she is

more forgetful. My mom just turned 60 this year. One year ago she

went to the Mayo Clinic to see what was the matter with her....her

nausea and diarhea were out of control. They checked her out and did

every test you could think of from her head to her toes. They came

up the severe acid reflux and said it had nothing to do with her

implants. Well, one year later, she is back in the hospital with the

same symptoms. This time they say it must be the flu or a virus.

She seems like she is sick all the time. She told me to do research

on the internet and see if I could find out if her implants could be

to blame. My dad and I are so scared. How do we find a doctor in MN

who can help her?? What tests can they run to see if her implants

are to blame?? Why does no doctor even look into the possibility her

implants could be making her sick. We are so frustrated. Any help

advice you could give would be much appreciated. Please keep my mom

in your prayers.
