Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Thank you all for the great information. It is really helping me come to terms with this dx. I saw the gastro dr today and the liver levels are all normal. But he wont take me off predinose yet...he wants to make sure they stay there. But I am working on getting Dr Palmers book..it is not in our book stores locally. I am really glad that Jerry can make jokes..I need a good laugh. Thank you alll and keep me posted on what is going on with you guys. Shelby __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 Shelby, re Dr. Palmer's book -- you can get it easily from Amazon, on-line. I can't remember how much shipping charges are, but not a great deal. Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Shelby, Welcome! Trust me when I say you are making the right decision about removing these horrible things! I had mine for 16 years, and had them removed day before yesterday....what a relief! I'm hoping for a full recovery soon! If at all possible-go with Dr. Melmed in Dallas Texas.....I had to drive from Tennessee to use him, but he was well worth it...very cheap, professional, and quick! Good luck!diana dickieson <scissorstar@...> wrote: hi shelby, i may have been the girl in the mtv show you watched, my name is diana, they did a show on my story. it was an aweful thing to go through, you are lucky that you found this group. i had my implants removed a couple years ago and it just keeps getting better!!!! my health has improved so much! when i had my implants i was sick all the time, no period fro two years!!!! swollen glands, weak, no energy, flu like symptoms everyday, chills nausea....it was so gross, i just wanted to die! but now iam back to my old active self, going to the gym, running, and happy to be free from the toxic crap i allowed to have put in my body, THINKING IT I WOULD MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY SELF????? i feel way better now than i ever have! i do feel it was a blessing to go through something like that, i have helped so many others make an informed desision. diana if you have any questions scissorstarhotmail DIANA D From: "fuzzheadferret" <tanflgirlaol>Reply- Subject: *new to the group* Looking for a Surgeon for ExplantDate: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 08:59:13 -0000>Hi>My name is Shelby and I have had saline implants since March 1995 ->I was 21 - thin, energetic and happy...I have been going downhill>ever since.

I am so happy you continue to spread the word, too. Thank you so much for all the sharing you do and especially for stepping up to the plate to do the MTV show. That was awesome! Sounds like you are very active....which is wonderful! Stay in touch!
