Sherry: Dr. Kolb is in Atlanta, GA, and her phone number is (770) 457-4677 and website: www.plastikos.com. I haven't used her myself, but she's helped many of the girls here. I wish I'd gone to her. I'm not saying don't try to get a diagnosis, just don't waste time trying to figure out what's wrong with you instead of concentrating on getting your implants out and getting well. I just wanted to warn you about what happened to me because I waited, trying to get evidence it was the implants. Definitely see the specialists, even if it's just to rule things out (if you haven't already). The problem is that it can take weeks or months to get in to see specialists. My mom had MS so I definitely needed to get tested, because of course I was worried that's what I had. The weeks I had to wait for that

appointment were hell, though, and I think the stress made my symptoms worse--the day of my appointment my whole body (including face and head) was burning and tingling. Yes, I saw your post about the fundraiser. I agree with Patty about the question of how it would be overseen, administered, etc. I'm sure most of us would be willing to help out in some way; it's just a matter of figuring out the right way. We all appreciate your ideas and enthusiasm--keep with it. Kate loverofmysoul60 <loverofmysoul60@...> wrote: > >> > "Surgery for Fibromyalgia at the University of> > Washington"> > > > PLEASE! . . .
