You know, I'm truly amazed by by all that has come to fruition from posting my

pictures...

The embarrassment stopped me from doing it earlier. That and the fact that I

thought I was alone in this. Wow, I never thought this many would step forward.

I never thought any would step forward.

Sue, to answer your question yes, mine spontaneously disappear leaving behind a

purple-like scar. But I have gotten the Derm to prescribe hydroquinone 4%

and if applied " as directed " 2x a day, I have had some completely fade...

If Cheryl and I were the only two of the group to have these I would say it was

coincidence but an isolated occurence(sp?). This all leads me to believe that

there is a research scientist out there who is going to get very rich when he

does the study and links the MRSA to the implants..

Yep, they hurt...badly.

Dear ,

I am not sure if you are aware of this but over here in England our hospitals are rife with MRSA, people go in for a minor procedure and end up on deaths door or dead. There have even been cases of babies being born in maternity hospitals and dying because of MRSA.I totally agree with you that when the link is realised the medical profession will be up in arms, but that isn't helping us at the moment. I need to see my Dr again and tell her what I have found out about these lumps.

I hope you are doing ok.

Love Sue

Christene, I'm w/you..I can't believe there are so many others..I too

thought I was all alone w/this horrible skin rash and scars. I forgot

to tell everyone, Dr. Kolb thought they were from the implants, either

from fungal endotoxins or allergy to the silicone shell. So, some

others may be dealing w/one of those issues; for me, that wasn't the

case. I tried all the fungal supps. and was on Nystatin & Diflucan,

but they never worked for me cause that's not what I had.

As far as the Community Aquired MRSA...if your immune system is shot

(like most of ours) you can pretty much pick it up anywhere. It is

very virulent(stubborn) and can live on inanimate objects for quite a

while. If anyone suspects they have it(before culture) be sure not to

share wash cloths, towels and spray door knobs, keyboards, telephone

w/Lysol to protect others in your home.

Hugs,

Cheryl

PS I wish I had a scanner!!
