Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 i came to the conclusion that it was my implants a little at a time. when i first became so sick, i have a brother in law who is an attorney for the breast implant manufactors. he heard my symptoms and said this sounds exactly like all of the women who complain about their implants making them sick in court. he said that he believes even if they can't yet prove that its the implants, there has got to be something to it because of the 1,000's of women complaining with pretty much the same symptoms. i didn't want to believe it at the time, i was very happy with my new look, and thought well i don't fall into that category because i have the safe saline implants, not the silicone implants. ha! months later i found a lab, Autoimmune tech. that gives a blood test for anti- polyimer antibodies. i took the test and not to my surprise i tested positive to the antibody. i had all of the symptoms that are created by this antibody (pain, fatique, bladder inconsisitances etc.) i find out that the envelope to the saline implant is out of silicone. i had my implants out 5 months ago and sent the implants to dr. Blais in canada and was vendicated. the report said that i had significant amounts of microbiological activity in the saline solution and with a defective valve this was being released systemically all the time. this alone would cause serious systemic complications. i am grateful i sent the implants off to be tested and got some answers i wouldn't have ever known about. Dr. Blais the biochemist is the one to refer me to Dr. Vasey in Florida. saying he is the most experienced in helping breast implant patients recover. the plaquenil has helped me tremdously, i have an appointment with him in april. i live in utah and have not researched into the natural detox route, i don't want to just pick a homopathic dr. out of the phone book and waste more $ going down a dead road.
