Lynn, Our ladies have been very successful with "The Maker's Diet" = check Amazon.com Do you know if your capsules were removed when you were explanted?

Hi Rogene,

Yes they were removed. I had the surgery done by Dr. Feng so I

know it was done the correct way. I do know of the Maker's Diet I

will look into that. Thank you.

Lynn,

I am certainly no expert but maybe fish oil for the brain fog and

like Rogene says Garlic might help with the pain and joint stuff, I

actually tried some the other nite and I was in alot less pain that

whole day and next day it was amazing, I mean I am in constant

terrible pain for ten years. I don't know if that was what it was

from or not but I am willing to try it again and let you know.

Lynn,

I'm extremely sensitive to supplements and herbs, too, so I just try

to avoid processed sugar and I try to eat healthy, and I also am

able to take a probiotic without any side effects. Actually when I

started taking the probiotic I felt much better, the one I take is

called Culturelle and it's available in Rite Aid, The Vitamin

Shoppe, CVS, Eckerd, probably other places as well - one box lasts a

month and it costs about $20 a box. Also, I have no side effects

when I take digestive enzymes, but I have to be careful not to take

them every single day because they can be constipating. I use

Stevia to sweeten my coffee, and I don't have any side effects from

herbal tea. I also drink Lifeway Kefir Smoothies, which are like

yogurt, and I have no problem with them either.

Hey Sis,

How are you doing. I'm sorry we have not had the time to get

together. I just started using Kefir as well. I think I may try

the makers diet. It seems pretty sound and obviously I need to make

some changes since I'm having a hard time again. Have you tried Co-

enzyme Q-10 before? It seems to keep coming up as a good thing to

try.

Lynn,

My brain fog was the worst symptom, and I have never really fully figured out what is causing it. I know that some women have the brain fog with implants, but upon explant it disappears immediately. Mine did not. It didn't really go away until about 3-4 years after explant, and then it would come back on occasion. I have actually been battling it this week, for some reason. I can say with a little degree of confidence that it is associated with my monthly cycle, (which is now my "few times a year cycle"), but I still don't know what will make it go away. It just comes and goes at will.

I wish we did have answers. It was my most frustrating experience with implants.

Explanted in July and looking for some additional input

After my explant I noticed great improvement in things like hair loss and a decrease in viral infections. However a few weeks ago I started again with the bad neck pain, severe brain fog and general joint and muscle pain. I seem to still be really sensitive to meds and herbal supplements as well and end up stopping anything I start. I'm feeling really confused on where to go at this point. I'm a single mom and I have to work but find it really hard at times because I just can't focus. Has anyone had good results with any diet or supplements for the brain fog/neck pain? I have been getting different advice from everyone. I've consulted with a few alternative doctors and my regular dr's and everyone has a different opinion being told to follow a hypogycemic diet, no salicylate diet, gluten free, a fibromyalsia protocol, a vegetarian diet a no carb diet and must include animal protein ect.. I'm just not sure who to
