Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Heidi, I think that skin problems and hair are pretty common in implant illness, it is autoimmune and that is often similiar to lupus. Lupus victims often time suffer from strange debilitating skin problems, rashes etc. So this doesn't surprise me at all. What are the Dr's saying she has? I am very very sorry for what you and her are going through. I will pray for you.
