Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 , There is no blood or urine test for Fibromyalgia--it is usually diagnosed through tender pain points over a period of time. Only your doctor can give you a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Yes, implants can bring this on. Patty Now do we have Fibomylagia ? So do I now have fibomylagia ? Can implants bring this on ? Do I follow some Fibo thing now ? I'm so confused.... karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 , I have no confusion, either. It is crystal clear to me, that my 20 year old ruptured implants made me desperately ill. I was first diagnosed with peripheral neuopathy, autoimmune thyroid disease, and then multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Oh, I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but my rheumatologist then didn't even tell me - I found that out by looking at my medical records. All my doctors had dx me with fibromyalgia, secondary to the other problems, I guess. I don't know why they did not tell me - maybe because they figured it was peripheral to everything else that was going on. I had horrible rashes that I could not get rid of for 5 years. I also had developed hives and went into anaphylactic shock - so I carried an epipen. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't work. I became severely depressed. Then I had my explant. Now it has been two and a half years. My blood tests are normal. I am working again part time, in my own practice. I have a life again. The difference is phenomenol. > > > > So do I now have fibomylagia ? Can implants bring this on ? Do I > follow some > > Fibo thing now ?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks it's just that I'm trying to figure out how to treat myself...I read so much and am told so much, and I'm so desperate to get better,but surely I can't take it or try it all...hahah this is such a hard thing to deal with.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I don't want the DX I was trying to think if I should treat myself according to this....by the way Patty I know you were a lot worse off than me...can you tell me if your feeling better and what you do or take on a daily basis ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 , I am not sure that I was alot worse off than you, as I never ever had disabling pain at all, and you seem to be dealing with severe pain. My worst symptoms were brain fog and fatigue. That was my nightmare experience, feeling like an 80 year old woman in a 37 year old body, with absolutely no energy at all, and feeling like my brain was stuffed with cotton. I never considered fibromyalgia as a possible diagnosis, so I do not share that with many of you, but I do know that detoxing was vital to me! I believe it is to you as well. However, if you remember correctly, as I've stated so often, I feel really, really good almost all the time now. I was explanted in Feb 1998, so it has been nearly 9 years for me. It took me about 4 years to get to the point where I felt well enough to say I was healed greatly, but I was also diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroid disease, and treating for that made a big difference. Slowly, very slowly, all of my symptoms disappeared. I felt well enough to travel and do missionary work in September 2003 to the Dominican Republic, and in June 2005 to India, (where we boarded 10 flights in 12 days). It was quite an experience and I survived better than some of my traveling companions! On a daily basis, I do the following: Avoid hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, excessive sugar, sodas, coffee, and gluten, and focus on foods in their more natural state. I cook from scratch, and drink raw milk in the form of kefir (about a quart a day). We eat no pork at all, and eat meats that are free range or wild. Take 1.5 grains of Armour thyroid. (In the morning usually, but I need to start remembering to split it into 2 doses, morning and late afternoon, per Dr. Mercola) Take supplements: Garden of Life Primal Defense, Omegazyme, RM-10, FYI, Radical Fruits, Living Multi Fish Oil Evening Primrose Oil Vitamin C Vitamin E Alpha Lipoic Acid Milk Thistle Magnesium Chromium Picolinate Selenium Total Bee Plus (Royal Jelly, Propolis) Get at least 8 hours good sleep, trying to go to bed no later than 10 PM. Prayer and meditation, reading and studying God's Word (Yes, I consider this a daily part of my healing process, and a very vital one!) Avoid chemically-laden personal hygiene products, focusing on those that are made from totally natural products. Things I know I need to do on a daily basis, but am not so good at and need to improve on: Drinking lots and lots of pure water Exercise Things I do for detoxing on a fairly regular basis: Take anti-microbial supplements, like Olive leaf extract, raw garlic, oregano oil (given my recent blood test results, I think I need to take these continually) Coffee enemas Infrared Sauna sessions Fasting Master Cleanse Liver flushes Drink cleansing teas As for my menopausal symptoms, I have used the creams in the past, then went off, and am starting to use them again and will monitor that carefully. I'd love to add a weekly massage to my schedule! That would just be heaven....but I just don't have the money to blow on that, and with no pain, I don't think it's vital. But if I had fibromyalgia, I'd definitely do more massages. If you have any questions, ask away! Patty Re: Now do we have Fibomylagia ?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 -Molly, Not that I am having a pitty party here but I have all three, everything is just slightly better since explant, except the brain fog has lifted halleluja!!! If that darn fatigue would just go away I think I can handle all the pain everywhere as I have been dealing with it for 10 years now. 20 years with the implants and 10 of them I was sick without a clue in the world. Why does it keep saying there was a ban on silicone? We all know they are all silicone. And anyone could have gotten them pretty easy as I understand.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Terri, Have you had your adrenals and thyroid checked? Poor adrenal and/or poor thyroid function will definitely cause fatigue.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 You have all three what? I think I missed something here. One thing I can say...you just recently had your capsules removed, right? I wonder if it is possible that those were aggravating things. I had my capsules removed when my implants were removed. And it took well over a year and a half before I noticed major changes in my health. It is a good thing the brain fog lifted. That drove me crazy....I hated forgetting things and feeling in a daze. And, of course, not everything we have is necessarily implant related. I do believe the fibromyalgia and autoimmune illnesses are often related - notwithstanding the recent FDA decision. I know from my own experience. > > > > , > > I am not sure that I was alot worse off than you, as I never ever > had disabling pain at all, and you seem to be dealing with severe > pain. > > > > My worst symptoms were brain fog and fatigue.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Kenda, I have had a tsh of 2.85 and my adrenals haven't been checked, Everytime I bring up testing something else I think my doctor just thinks I am nuts.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks Kenda, That is my next course of action as my welfare insurance doesn't cover for " Those types of treatment " . So I am going back to work shortly and wont need the welfare that i was forced to go on 1 1/2 years ago. You would think they would want to know so I could better faster and go back to work?

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Terri, At 2.85 I would say your thyroid is low. Above 2.0 is suspicious, near 3.0 is low. If mine was above 2.0 I would feel sluggish, tired, depressed, no drive at all, and I would have gained at least 10 pounds. Armour thyroid or Synthroid are the two I am familiar with. Ask your doctor, and don't let him tell you your test is in the " normal " range. It may be in the normal range, but my OB/Gyn believes it should stay near 1.5.
