Thank you. I'm one who had silicone implants...Not ashamed to admit it or share it here since I feel many of my health problems including RP has something to do with chemical toxin in the body. Yes also to me having Fibromyalgia too. Seems like those of us who had implants have Firbo as well. At least the several of hundred of women I know personally from these past years.

Thanks for the article. I also had implants. Mine were saline, but the implants themselves were made out of silicone. Unfortunately, I had reconstructive surgery immediately after mastectomies and that's when the trouble started. The doctor assured me the implants were safe or I never would have done it. It was a big mistake. After 8 years of nothing but trouble I had them removed but I, too, believe the fibro and, perhaps, the RP are a result of the implants.

Love,
