this is one reason why people get sick from implants.

it seems like having implants has stimulated your immune system and stirred up things .

The outside shell of the implants degrade due to the monocytes ( a type of white blood cell ) in your blood which are actually the macrophages that attack the implants (foreign toxic material ) and then your body can make cystic nodules out of them, or filter them thru your lymph nodes, and liver or even get stuck in your lymph nodes and cause them to become cystic.

I would be very uncomfortable with your recent care, and results, and would go to a breast cancer doctor for a second opinion. With all the breast cancer out there, you cant be too careful.

You and your life are worth it ! ! With your joint pain, thyroid issues, and your current breast status, it would be in your best interest to clean your chest out, and get on a healthy life plan and enjoy life.

I pray that you do not have breast cancer. I have many of the symptoms of the inflammatory breast cancer, and was researching, here is what I found, it is a good site. I had colored all the symptoms I am having and sent this to my sisters. You should click on the links and read around the site, it is a good one.

I hope this helps you......

Hugs Prayers and lots of Hope

Certain skin condition may signal danger to the breasts. Redness, irritation or prominent veins may indicate an increased blood supply that often accompanies tumor growth. Also look for whitish scale on the nipple or areolae, ulcers, sores or surface erosion that does not heal promptly; or any changes in a pigmented (black or brown) mole anywhere within the breast area. Blocked lymph ducts which may be associated with the growth of tumors can result in "orange-peel" skin – swollen and shiny with deep enlarged pores. Although all of these signs may also be connected with benign conditions, the presence of any of then should signal you see immediate medical attention.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer

The symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer can include:

Redness of the breast. The most distinguishing feature of inflammatory breast cancer is redness involving part of or the whole breast. Sometimes the redness comes and goes.

Swelling of the breast. Part of or all of the breast may be swollen, enlarged, and hard.

Warmth. The breast may feel warm.

Orange-peel appearance. In some people, the breast can swell and start to look like the peel of a navel orange (this is called "peau d'orange").

Other skin changes. The skin of the breast might look pink or bruised, or you may have what looks like ridges, welts, or hives on your breast.

Swelling of lymph nodes. The lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone may be swollen.

Flattening or inversion of the nipple. The nipple may go flat or turn inward.About 50% of women with inflammatory breast cancer have a lump or a mass in their breast, but it may be difficult to feel since the breast is often bigger and harder than normal.

was diagnosed with thyroid disease last year also. another connection

to implants??

I read everything you all write and I think I want to get these out

fast! Although I am not sick like a lot of you. I think, do I get them

out and still have the joint pain? What if its nothing to do with them

and I didnt need to have them out?

O was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroid disease after my implant mess.

I believe it was directly connected, and I think the whole endocrine

system gets interrupted by our implants for certain susceptible women.

It's likely that your implants have contributed toward a burden on

your immune system, and each woman exhibits a different level of

disability as a result. Some women have seemed to tolerate it to a

point, but can later have a health crash that is devastating. Some

women will just call these health issues a process of " aging " , except

that some of the women who are " aging " are still in their 20's. So, we

know that there is a constellation of symptoms that are part of the

implant illness process.

It takes more than just removing the implants to get the body healthy.

There are detoxing therapies that will help your body to purge itself

of all manner of junk that needs to come out. You should probably do

some detoxing ANYWAY, just to help your body deal with the lifelong

exposures you (and every one of us) have had.

Only you can make the decision to remove your implants. Here's the

bottom line for me: Implants do nothing to contribute toward good

health, and if you are showing ANY symptoms at all, it would be better

to take them out and give yourself a chance at better health than to

risk a worsening of health. Your health will not--indeed, CANNOT

improve with breast implants. So the question you have to ask yourself

is do you want to feel better or not? If so, you have to take certain

steps to bring that about. One of the best ones ever is to remove the

implants--properly--for good.

I cannot say how glad I am that mine are gone. And we here this from

women all the time who are explanted!
