Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 OOPS that was the wrong email address it is idagirl@... ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 5:11 PM Subject: Re: Hello, new here , I think allot of us have been there and also gone through this frustration. I hope that your friend gets well but in all likelihood the implants are at the root of the problem. My first advice to you would be to tell your friend to make sure to get all the labs and esp. the ana too, however even if these tests come up negative or positive it really won't help her to know for sure if it is her implants. In fact, for most of us we just had to finally after much soul searching, and talking with so many others with our same symptoms come to the conclusion that it had to be our implants, and most of us got them out and slowly got better. I got sick about 3 months after getting in my saline implants, it was like one thing after another, I didn't have migraines, but I had severe dizziness and fatigue, foggy feelings, spacey feeling, memory issues, aches and pain and sick feeling. I just new it had to be the implants as I felt so weird and never felt that way before in my entire life ever! I guess my suggestion would be that she continue to seek answers through more tests and prayer and some soul searching, and that if she can get access to the computer she will find she is not alone with the problems you are describing with saline implants. I don't know why but some of us end up really sick from implants and no one wants to talk about it or explain it and no one really has answers. There are some excellent link and files on this site, one of them worth reading is www.plastikos.com Kolb MD is a naturopathic Dr and PS and has lots of info on saline implants and silicone implants and also remember that saline is still made from silicone. There is another site called explantation.com, this site is more for support while going through explant, which is something that as hard as it may sound to your friend she may have to consider at some point somewhere along this way. There are stories on that site and on this one as well, the problem is that while there are allot of us out here with problems sometimes it is hard to find us. I hope you will give her the info I have posted and also will encourage her to consider that it is in fact her implants and that she must now face the very difficult decision that she may have to explant them. If there is any other question you have or anything else I can offer please don't hesitate to write here or at my personal email idagirl.com Hugs ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 2:54 PM Subject: Hello, new here Hi, my name is and I have joined on behalf of my non-internet friend, Tish. Tish got her saline implants about 6 months ago. Abot 2 months ago she started having very severe headaches-- so severe that her husband had to bring her to the ER a few times. No medicine they gave her worked. These headaches disrupted her entire day and lasted for hours. They happened every day for like 6 weeks. She went to a family doctor, a neurologist and various specialists. Some said it was all in her head, some said she was anxious and put her on Zoloft. She was diagnosed with cluster migranes, even though she had never had a migrane in her life. Tish's symptoms sounded to me like auto-immune problems. She also was having fogginess, stiff joints, general malaise-- just overall didn't feel well. She kept telling me she knew something was wrong with her. She had CT scans and one doc thought she might have MS, though that was ruled out. I suggested she get an ANA test done (no doctor would order that for her-- though my husband could order it for her). A few days ago my husband (a general surgeon) asked me how long ago Tish had her implants and it seemed to him logical that maybe her implants were causing the trouble-- though he didn't know of any research off hand that would suggest it. I mentioned it to Tish (a nurse) and she thought it could be possible but didn't know where to learn more. She called the plastic surgeon, who I am sure dismissed it because I haven't heard any more about it. As other women I'm sure have thought, Tish never thought saline implants could be unsafe. Here's the question: do the migranes sound like a possible complication from her implants? The migranes are her biggest source of pain. Where can she find more information and how does she find out if it is the implants? I can't find recent research about saline implants-- is there any?
