Hi

My name is . I have had my saline implants for 10 years. The

last 3 years or so...after a couple of years of symptons I started

going to doctors. My symptons have included alopecia right after

the surgery that was cleared up, joint pain, tingling in my feet,

bloating and unexplained weight gain even on less than 1000 calories

a day. The last 2 years the symptons have become more

serious...with thyroiditis, confirmed heavy metal toxicity thru

blood work (mercury, lead, aluminum and boron), microscopic

hematuria (doctor can't find the reason), skin rashes on upper arms

and chest that will only go away with prednisone which causes its'

own set of problems, tenderness in ribs, fatique, muscle wasting,

scary abdominal swelling which was recent while on chelating agents

to get rid of the heavy metals, joint pain, .etc.

The test I have had include ultra sounds of thyroid, of adrenal

glands, full body gallium scan, pelvic and abdominal ultra sounds,

repeated hormone test, blood chemistries, chemistry panels, food

allergy testing, test...etc...etc. My doctor can't find

anything ...but at least she says she knows it is something and that

it is chronic. So...I have told her I thought it was the implants..

All of my liver and kidney function test are normal...but I have an

appointment with a nephrologist sometimes in July. I just think my

doctor is chasing the wrong thing....so in order to eliminate any

possibility that it is the implants.....

I went today for a consult to have these awful things taken

out...and am scheduled for surgery on June 12th. Please tell

me...that this gets better.....!!!

Will the rash go away? Will the bloating and what I think is a

metabolic disruption correct itself?

This was the dumbest thing I ever did. The only tests results that

indicated anything was a high Creactive protein level, a low

estrogen and a high testosterone and high level of heavy metals.

Also...any suggestions for which antibiotics or anything else I need

to ask the plastic surgeon about after the explant? I certainly

don't want problems associated with any bacteria left in my

body...etc...
