Re: Checking in.. Silicone removed in 2007

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm glad that you have found better health

and I appreciate what you've been through as I

myself had my saline implants removed in March

after having them for almost 18 years and having

the right implant deflate on me twice. I had a

large non-cancer tumour removed from that same

breast when I had the implants removed and will

be monitored closely now for the rest of my life

because of it. Health problems have been many

over the years, and until recently never realized

they could possibly be the result of the

implants. Nothing very serious but definitely

disruptive to my life.

Can you tell me if Methotrexate for autoimmune

problems is a prescribed drug or can you buy it

over the counter.

Thanks and I pray for continued good health for

us both (for all women with implants).

Methotrexate is a chemo drug.....but also used for

other things....Over the years in my experience in

the med field, ( not a nurse, but doctor trained)

I saw people it helped, and people it did not.

http://www.drugs.com/methotrexate.html

Please should you decide it is a medication for you

read all you can about it, from every site you can find.

Especially the professional ones, as they contain more

info than the patient sites do. Then take a list of your

questions to your doctor. You will need to have blood

tests first to be sure you have no elevations in certain

things, like liver functions .

For those people that liked how it helped them....

They would ask for the treatment periodically, and for

those that couldnt tolerate side effects they had,

well, they swore they would never try it again for anything.

So........this one is a 50/50 thing.......for some, they said nothing

else worked, you will just have to study all you can on it

and decide if you wanna give it a shot......

Dr Kolb in Atlanta has a whole detox protocol and there have

been lots of people it has helped.......

Hi, and thanks for coming back to share your update. It's always encouraging to

hear from others who have been explanted and find out how they are doing...you

are no exception!

I'm so glad to hear that you are doing much better. I am a little curious and

concerned about the drug you are taking, but if it is making your life more

bearable, then for you, it's what you need.

The fact that your constant fatigue is gone is fabulous! Congratulations on

that!

I love that you love your work...what are your online businesses?

Loving what you do is one of the most important things you can be blessed with

in life...who wants to go to a job they hate? So, you are definitely blessed!

Thanks again for checking in with us!

Hugs,

Patty

Methotrexate sounds like something to use as a last resort, doesn't it?

There are so many other natural things to do first.

If anyone else uses this drug, please report back to us about it.

Thanks!
