Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 i had saline implants placed sept05 without any problems. now since july07 i started with joint pain,tenderness, facial,hands,feet swelling and redness. at first, i thought maybe it was an aspartame allergy and quit anything with that in it but nothing changed. my mom has rheumatod arthritis and i went to see the same rheumatologist and have had lots of bloodwork. my ana was positive, c-reactive protein high. he has diagnosed me with atypical lupus. i started on plaquenil in the fall and now i am starting imuran-an immunosuppressant drug. last week my left hand got so swollen that i had to have my wedding ring cut off. since then, i am also on prednisone for 3 weeks. i have been racking my brain about what all this could be. my labs remain negative except an elevated sed rate. a friend brought to my attention the possibility of the saline implants. can someone give their thoughts of this? i have been researching today and all of my symptoms are those of the saline implants.
