Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 My name is and I had saline implants for almost 7 years. After about 5 years with the implants, I started becoming extremely ill. My sypmtoms consisted of extreme fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, memory loss, muscle twitching,weight gain( even with diet and exercise), extreme stomach bloating...those are just to name a few. I can go on and on. I have been to different Dr's that have done blood tests, and so far the only thing they have told me is that I have a positive ANA, and then sent me on my way. I decided to finally have my implants removed 3 weeks ago. I live in California, but decided to fly to Ohio to have Dr. Feng perform the surgery. I was very pleased with Dr Feng and her staff. The results so far are great. However, I still do not feel any better. I know it's a long process, but I thought that I would at least feel a little better once they were out. Im so dissapointed, and frustrated. Im only 30 years old, and a single mother. This has taken my life away from me. I can barely make it at work, and have to be in bed every night by 7:00. Not only am I affected by this, but my child is affected by this. I can't be the mother that I need to be. Im barely making it, and am so dissapointed in our medical system. The Dr's that I have seen have basically looked at me like I was crazy, and just imagining these symptoms. I am at a dead end. I don't know where else to turn. Does anyone know when the symtpoms will start to lessen? Is there a particular type of Dr. that I need to see? Please help. I need to hear from people that know exactly what I am going through. Friends and family just don't seem to understand. Thanks for listening ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
