I need your help & opinions! My story/history w/Saline Implants

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone; it's been quite a while since I've posted, but I've been

a member for many yrs. This will probably be very long, but I'd like

to get your opinions & need to tell you what's going on w/me so I can

figure out how much or if all of my health issues are from my

implants. Since breastfeeding my twins, I've been very ill & have

only continued to get worse & worse. I'll try to go in order, but

may skip around a little.

After breastfeeding '99, I developed capsular contracture & severe

open skin sores all over my body. Had to leave my nursing career & go

on disability in '02. I saw Dr. Kolb in '05 & she thought they got

infected @ that time, she also discovered I was hypothyroid. Shortly

after breastfeeding, I got my tubes tied, but developed chronic

abdominal pain, then had adhesions removed x4, then a hysterectomy

w/resulting emergency open abd. wash for peritonitis. The sores

continued & I developed chronic upper respiratory infections; chronic

fatigue/fibromyalgia & my SED rate has remained elevated for yrs.

In '05 I had my implants replaced. The Dr. was supposed to culture

them & me(he did neither), he was supposed to remove enbloc, but

broke them in my chest instead! Got MRSA from the surgery, was

treated for 4 mo., but never recultured. Then I got sleep apnea &

narcolepsy; lost 50 lbs.(after doing several cleanses); have

critically low IgG; found a dilated bile duct on CT Scan; lost all of

my hair(which is coming back, but just found out I have a scalp

infection, this week); Rt. implant spontaneously ruptured 8/07 a few

months after I lost my hair & the weight; have developed

nausea/vomiting & alternating constipation/diarrhea. I haven't had

an appetite for yrs. Still on many of the supplements recommended by

Rogene.

Saw a new plastic surg. this week. He thinks I've had an ongoing

infection; the left is about to rupture & is folded & poking out;

says my skin is rubbing against the implant & the infection has

caused that skin to become paper thin w/no fat/tissue protecting that

implant. He won't replace them; wants to take them out & see if I

return to health.

If you've been able to read all this, do ALL of my symptoms sound

like they are from my implants? I'm ready to get them out to see if

I can get better. I've been sick my kids' whole lives & don't want

them to have this as their only memory of me. I feel like these

things are going to kill me, if I don't get them out. I want my hair

back, my energy back, my appetite back & to be free of all these

infections.

I'd appreciate all/any responses from you guys. I need to know if I

should be looking into anything else besides my implants causing me

to be so ill. Thank you so much for reading my story & for your

opinions on it!

Health & Hugs to you all,

Cheryl
