Re: HUSBAND'S REACTION

e--while I definitely believe in taking Selenium and other

antioxidants, wonder if you have had your iron level checked?

Iron tends to be low in premenopausal women and it also tends

to get used readily with inflammation/infection (don't know if you had those or not) Low iron is an often overlooked

culprit. -Marie? If you are reading this, tell e about

iron and surgery.

Mine fell out, came back and then most of it lost it's color

on my head--went from dark brown to light strawberry blonde--

except for one 3" strip across the back. Hair on arms did same--

hair on thighs never came back!

As I'm sure you know, stress will cause hair loss. Everyone I know

who lost it (except those with Alopecia Areata or some other kind of

alocpecia that takes it's all off) gets it back--it just takes a while.

I was going to look into ShenMin when I realized my hair was coming

back; it's natural, but a combo, and I don't know what all it contains.

Might check out their website, shenmin.com. Something makes me think

it might be for aging and hairloss.

For those who may have lost natural curl, MSM puts it right back--

it's biological sulfur and natural curl is due to sulfide to sulfide bonding.

MSM is fantastic for joint aches also--doesn't repair. . .need glucosamine

sulfate and chondroitin sulfate to repair.

Ari, I am not married, but did have the same reaction from my family. Initially they were in agreement with me that my implants were causing my illnesses, but then as I got more information and kept on telling them that I knew they were the cause of my problems, my parents sort of just started blowing me off. My mom told me that I just wanted an excuse to blame my inability to work on, and that while she agreed that implants (or any other foreign object in the body) is not good, she simply did not agree that my implants were the root cause of all my problems. She actually told me that I was looking for an easy way out, and it was easy to blame everything on the implants. Even after doctors validated my concerns, she still wouldn't believe me. And to this day, 1.5 yrs after explant, she still doesn't believe that I had all my health problems and illnesses and that the implants caused them all. She has actually called me a liar several times. I also have hair loss like crazy. It started in 1997 (about 8 months after I got implants), and has never gotten better. To this day, it still falls out in clumps. You should see my bathroom----hair all over. I have to clean it daily or else it would be absolutely disgusting. Even when I get out of the shower and comb my hair, the hair just comes out in clumps. And if I run my fingers through my hair, I will get clumps in my hands. Just like what you have. It's so frustrating. And my hair is thin to begin with! I take my tops/shirts off, and there is hair all inside of them and around the collar, there is hair all over my bed linens in the AM when I wake up. It's just nasty. I swear, one of these days I'm just going to wake up bald. But I haven't figured out what to do to slow down the hair loss. Someone told me to take selenium, and I did, but didn't notice a difference at all. And of course silicone is supposed to be very good for strengthening hair, but I would have to be absolutely insane to take any form of silicone for my hair. I'd rather go bald!! e ----- Original Message ----- From: ariaded Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 4:43 PM Subject: HUSBAND'S REACTION I WANT TO KNOW OUT OF THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE MARRIED HOW DID YOURHUSBANDS REACT WHEN YOU MENTIONED TO HIM THAT YOUR IMPLANTS MIGHT BEMAKING YOU SICK?

I am so sorry that your husband does not believe in your illness, how

frustrating that must be. My husband never did question me on that at

all, he totally backed me up 100% but my family did at times, wonder

if it was in my head and of course that is what every Dr told me too,

anyhow now that I am so much better no one questions me at all

anymore, there is so much proof that the implants caused my symtpoms,

not to mention the fact that I had the labs that confirmed it all

too. Anyhow regardless of what your husband says or believe, the

important thing is you, and your health is what matters most, if you

believe that the implants are harming you, and even if you are not

100% sure, I would still seriously think about getting them out,

implants are not safe, they have lots of problems associated with

them, I just think you will be better off without them, as we all

are, and most likely when your health improves you will be so happy

to free of them. Trust me. Your husband will then see how much better

you are without them and he will be a believer.
