Husband seeking possible explanations...

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm a husband who has seen his wife's health deteriorate in the last 3 months to

the point where she cannot lead a normal life. Saline breast implants were done

in August 2008. Symptoms flared up in January 2009. Listed in the order of

intensity / importance:

- Pain in chest and back- dull pain that comes & goes in intensity.

- Pain just below the lowest ribs, on both sides, going from back to front.

This pain can be very intense.

- Pain in the upper neck.

- Fatigue- normal chores and taking care of our 3-year old are next to

impossible.

- Pain in knees and knuckles of both hands. This pain has come & gone, at

present it is gone.

My wife has always had sleep issues, I really can't tell if they've gotten worse

since the operation- but I suspect they have.

My first question: could my wife's issues be due to the saline implants? Most

other posts I've read here indicate many more symptoms.

Multiple doctor visits have discarded organ issues, cancer, lupus, MS- at least

that's what I've been told. Blood work by our family doctor showed " everything

is normal " . We recently got a rheumatologist, and blood work showed a " very

slight elevation of a component indicating inflamation " . I will get the detailed

blood work in my own hands this coming week, and would like to know what to look

for. From reading other posts, I think I should look for:

- a positive ANA 1:80,

- " Elevated TGF Beta 1 level, elevated rheumatoid factor, as well as a lowered

C3 Complement, and macrocytosis " - what are the lines in a blood test that will

show this, and what would the tell-tell numbers be?

- Should we perform a hair analysis for tin toxicity?

If we should choose to remove the implants, can anyone recommend a surgeon for

this procedure in the Chicago area?

Thank you very much!

Hi ,

I hope you have been received some answers to your questions. Everything that

you've written is consistent with what women have endured after getting

implants.

The solutions to health issues after implants involved removing the offending

implants, and then detoxing and supporting the body back to health.

I believe that the reason that the test results usually come back normal for

many women is because hormones are involved, due to a disrupted endocrine

system. Other people seem to think that candida and yeast or molds are a huge

issue. It could be a combination of factors...we just know that women are ill

and doctors have not figured out why, and our healing journey has been

undertaken through our own initiative and exploration.

So, to answer your questions:

1) Yes, your wife's health issues could very well be implant related.

2) Reading blood tests are fairly straightforward...anything " out of range " is

going to be something worth looking at. However, it is also telling to use

historical test results and look for patterns of change that indicate a gland,

organ or system is not working as well.

3) Tests for autoimmunity have to be ordered specifically by the doctor, and are

not on a CBC or basic blood test. C3 complement, as well as the other

complements are specific and expensive tests, while the rheumatoid factor and

ANA testing is fairly typical for rheumatologists.

4) A hair analysis for tin toxicity may be a test to consider, though a

comprehensive heavy metals test would be more informative.

5) There are not many surgeons that we can recommend for proper removal in the

country, unfortunately. Many of them simply pop those implants out and call it

done. However, a PROPER removal requires the en bloc procedure or total

capsulectomy and I would suggest that your closest and best choice would be Dr.

Lu Feng in Cleveland OH.

Please let us know how you and your wife are doing.
