Dearest Group ... 10 years ago today many of us in this group met together in person for the first time in Washington DC at the Institute of Medicine hearings. I will be posting more about this in the upcoming days on my blogs. Here is a piece I wrote soon afterwards called ~ DC Conspiracy ~.

I am still grateful for the many new friendships created at this event that continue and grow.Unfortunately ... it appears we have come full circle and the denial of the dangers of implants receive more news than our stories. Bless all of you who share your stories and have websites, blogs and other means of getting some reality to this issue into the various media!

Subject: ANA Positive Blood TestsIlena Rose <ilena.rose@...>

Hi Ilena,

Could u please canvass group re ANA positive blood tests...just received this from doctor, saying a lupus diagnosis was possible...but needs more samples to accurately confirm. Possible also for other connective diseases...

Ruptured, migrating, calcified silicicone implants of 32 years already confirmed thru ultrasounds...fibromalgia diagnosis from one surgeon out of state....no surgeon here wants anything to do with me...

This positive blood test for ANA is brand new...no one had ever done this in 32 years.

please canvass if you can...thank you.

Hello Ilena,

I've e-mailed in the past. I would like to keep up on any new

information, but I have moved and lost my old e-mail address book along

with the move. Can you please help direct me to the right place for

information. I can't remember the names of the people that e-mailed to

me and vice versa. I am very sick from a 1979 silicone rupture, my

joints are extremely painful, fatigue and other problems from this

rotten silicone. I don't know if there is any new information out there

or not> I do know the doctors and specialist I've seen knows there

is a problem but does not no anything to do for it. Thank You very much

for any info. Ktzy@... Kathy
