Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi Ladies, I'm sorry it's been so quiet on our group....I have about a 3 week break before I start summer session and it's really tough to keep up while I'm in school and working, but hopefully we'll be sharing more this month. I know there are so many questions when women first find out that their implants may be making them ill. I wanted to give an update on my health since being stung by a scorpion.....I'm a little concerned about my exposure to the neurotoxin because of some symptoms that have hung around. I'm expecting a full recovery, but at the same time, I want to be aware of what is happening in my body and so I've got an appt. with an immunologist tomorrow morning (thank God for a cancellation!) It's the first doctor I've seen in a very long time, outside the hospital from my sting. I'm really hoping that this immunologist will be open minded, but I am mulling over in my mind just how much I should talk about my prior implant experience. I don't want to bring it up if I can help it, but it appears I can't avoid it....because I have had past blood work that showed a lowered C3 complement, and there was a question on the new patient form about any abnormal complement tests. It arose from the implants, and I have no idea if that will " set him off " if I mention that, but it just happens to be, to me, a vital piece of information. Hopefully it won't be an issue. The symptoms that have me concerned are brain fog, and a certain feeling of irritability associated with that. I recognize this agitated feeling from so many years ago when I was sick from implants. It's so hard to describe! It's just a feeling that something is not right. I want to say my brain " hurts " , but it's not a pain like a migraine, though I do have more headaches lately. It's a " hurt " like a brain " owie " of some sort. I just don't know how else to say it. It's accompanied by tingling and numbness in my extremities intermittently, mostly at night in bed. I've felt more tired, though I'm still able to do all I need to do. I still even has those skin patches in the shape of a rectangle on my abdoment from the heart monitor! They've never gone completely away. That's so weird. I've also been wondering about food allergies....I had a strange bout of dizziness after I ate something...on two separate occasions, the same food. ( peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets from Trader Joe's). I just don't feel as " good " as I used to. So, I know something is up. I've felt better after coffee enemas, so I'm going to continue those and also do a liver flush as soon as I can fit it in. So, that's what's up with me. I'm not happy about the scorpion sting, but I've turned that over to God and am trusting Him for everything with my health. It is what it is! I'll keep you posted about the doctor if there is anything interesting to report. I'm just basically seeing him as a follow up to the scorpion sting and see if there is anything enlightening he can tell me about my immune system. I think I'm due for some blood work to see where everything is at. Hugs, Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
