Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi Jill, Welcome to saline support . . . We can't be sure that you don't have MS . . . but the only way you'll know if it's implant related is to have your implants properly removed. Many, many women have been diagnosed with a host of serious autoimmune diseases that mysteriously disappear after being explanted and detoxing. Personally, knowing what I do after watching women come through here for years, I wouldn't accept MS as a diagnoses right now. After your implants are removed, and you've made a serious effort to detox, if the symptoms aren't improving in a year, I'd take another look at it. Some of the women (Patty?) have been diagnosed with brain lesions that have resolved! . . . . Until they care enough to test those of us who are sick, we won't know why women get sick after getting implants . . . Please look through the messages and the archives . . .. I think you'll see yourself in many of them. . . The good news is that, regardless of your current diagnosis, you have an excellent chance of getting much better! We're here to help. If you have any questions, let us know. Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi Jill, I had my implants done in May of 2005, and I started having symptoms within a week of getting them. Initially I had joint swelling but it got really bad in September, and when the joints swelled up, I started having numbness in my fingers and toes, that in time became pain in my fingertips and toes, kind of under the nails. Also experienced headaches in my temples and dizziness. I had my implants removed in November of 2005 and am so relieved to have them out. My symptoms haven't eased up all that much yet, however I fully believe the implants caused all of these symptoms, because what a coincidence that suddenly after getting implants, I start having all these issues. It takes most women at least a year to get better after having the implants removed, so I didn't go into the explant expecting that I'd see a miraculous change right away. My right arm goes numb, especially when I wake up in the AM. I also have sleep disturbances. I had an MRI on my neck recently, and I did see that my head was included, so I don't know if they have to specifically target the brain in MRI's, but as far as I know I don't have any lesions - but I have definitely heard of other women with implants reporting lesions on the brain. Good luck, we're here for you. Sis > > Hi guys. My name is Jill and this is my first post. > > I am 36 YO. I had saline implants in April of 2005. In August of > 2005 I had some knee issues/pain.
