Guest guest Posted August 19, 2002 Report Share Posted August 19, 2002 my symptoms included (it did not occur to me at the time that they had anything to do with the implant)included :hives, nausea, joint pain, fatigue. I lucked out and met a terrific lady in Alaska- Dr. Sara Troxell. She told me right away what was going on- operated and saved my life. Kind of woman you could really hate. Smart beatiful, well behaved kids, drop dead gorgeous husband, highly compatent- you know the type! Thank God for her !
