I am not doing much better than when I had proper capsule removal Sandy, I am so sorry you are having such problems, unfortunately it takes tons of time, remember it was 4 years for Patty after proper removal.......so more patients, and detox... and then even more patients and detox......I am sorry it takes so long....we all love you...... I am sure this is all related to this nasty nodule My skin on my legs has sunkin gaps like an old woman Honey, the muscles in your legs are atrophy'd because of inactivity and the fact you cannot exercise. To top it off, you have reduced kidney function and fluid from your heart and kidneys is causing edema, Mine are like that too, and you just cant help it right now, you have been sick for a very long time. When you get well enough to walk and exercise, you will be able to build up your leg muscles again. The circulation in my legs feels like it's being cut off All the edema from the kidneys and all is the reason for that. Are you restricting salt and sodium in your diet? You need to cut it back to 2000 mg a day for awhile, and restrict your fluids as well to about 2000 cc a day. No canned goods, no bacon, or processed meats, no ramin. Start looking at all your foods and see what the sodium content is. Do not add salt to your meals til you get that edema off you. Then if you do later on, be sure it is himalayan sea salt. If you have a water softener on your water, then it is salty, you need to drink purified water. You will find tons of improvement when you count all your salt and sodium intake and restrict it . Eating out, there is tons of sodium in those foods. I small schlotzkys original has over 1700 mg of sodium in it ! ! Go to www.fastfoodfacts.com and you can see what is in all the foods at the fast food places . I have a book on it, my daughter got it for me from work. I hope this is not why my skin is sinking in Lets get you better, then we will work on your skin. I think you have so much inflammation you dont really know what is you and what is inflammation. My body is not accepting this mold,fungi garbage at all. My appointment with the breast surgeon is not until July 28'th and all this weight is from inflamation due to this nodule which is giving me breathing and heart problems I have chemical breath because this crap is our my chest. Call the doc office every day to see if there has been a cancellation to get in sooner. I would call Dr Kolb too and see what she thinks and if you should go in on an emergency basis. If you are feeling this bad and your heart is acting up more than usual, something is up.....take your temperature and see if you have one. Dont be surprised if you dont tho, as many times I dont run one when I should, but I believe that is because our system isnt working right and has no fight left. I am pouring in sweat in an air conditioned room at 70 degrees Which tells me there has been an infection brewing for sometime now When my body is sick, it does that too, your body is giving you signs please push for help if you are feeling you need it....dont harm yourself further by waiting when your body is telling you not to. I do not feel much difference in my health after capsule removel This is hard on my heart and hope I can make it another week I honestly don't know how Traci survived all this Please also get tested for LYME........just do it... I am so sorry you feel so bad. Please give your son my email address so he can contact me if you go in for surgery or anything at all. Dede I do not know how you are managing all your pain because I'm getting weaker and weaker having all this garbage in me. Sweetie, it is a challenge for sure ! ! I am walking around like an 80 yr old woman Me too and sometimes I look like I am walking with a corn cob up my bum.....just cuz I hurt I'm having one of those days !! Bless your precious heart ! !

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Wow, Sandy, I sure wish my scanner worked so I could scan in my mri's that showed the small seroma, then the op report and path report showing what all was really in there. Would Dr Kolb call this doctor and consult with him and see if he will get you in on an emergency basis ? ? My heart goes out to you my dear ! If at any time at all you feel like you need to be seen sooner, just go to the hospital emergency....tell them about all the pain and how sickly you feel with the hot sweats and all. Your body is talking, so someone needs to listen ! ! XOXO Dede**************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Geezus , Kids, when will they learn? hum......perhaps later in life.......hee hee if you gently tug on his ear, does it hurt him? if so, it is probably swimmers ear. He would need perhaps antibiotic ear drops and meds by mouth. ( I worked in pediatrics for over 6 years ) he is wanting ear candelling done, I do my Dads it is easy, you just have to pay close attention. it cleans out the ears. I have read that you can put 2 drops of mineral in each ear and it will keep the wax moving. With his history of ear problems, you are doing the right thing. I agree with you 110 percent. Later he will thank you, he is 14 and knows it all right now..........NOT.....lololol Bless you both ! Dede**************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 when id mentioned other dr's think woman were crazy he seemed to support that statement. as in he agreed thats what they think. But from his report I guess he feels differently. I will keep you all posted. Hes only about an hour drive from me. I dont think i am *sick* per say. But Ive got some symptoms that seem to be inline with what you women go thru. and to have a breast infection out of blue like i did?? what triggered that??? I not breast feeding, why would i get that??? So anyway..im ready to work with a dr who is not just going to write a prescription and send me home because he really doesnt know whats wrong. oh, and dont even get me started on the medical professions lack of knowledge on nutrition!!!! > > > > I JUST CALLED DR RON KENNEDY(<------<WBR>-WROTE THE SILICONE REPO > SPOKE WITH HIM!! > IM GOING TO EMAIL HIM AND GET AN APPT AND GO GET SOME TESTS DONE. > > > _http://www.diagnosehttp://www.dihttp://www.d_ > (http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C400828.html) > > > > What is known about silicone breast implants is that fibrous > capsule > > contracture occurs in about 70% of cases two to four years after > implantation. > > The rate of complications - which include breast pain, > contracture, rupture, > > infection, implant migration requiring surgery - approaches 50% at > 10 years.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sandy,You might tell your son that my ear cancer was due to chronic infection that wasn't taken seriously by my doctors. Eventually damaged cells can become cancerous. Your son needs to appreciate the fact he must take care of his hearing.God Bless,Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Dede e-mail again the tests again I will print it out When I sit down I'm swollen in my lower back, theighs, buttocks and belly So if I'm retaining fluid This could be kidney related?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sandy I would have renal function tests and a 24 hour creatinine clearance showing your GFR. Protein to creatinine ratio, Aldosterone/renin, and a ACTH test, or also called cortsyn stim test. This will check your kidney function and your adrenal function, the adrenals sit on top of the kidneys. I dont know alot about all this, I just know that these are tests I have had done and still waiting to have one of them, the cortsyn stim test.
