dizziness

[Guest guest]

Dizziness was my very first symptom exactly 2wks after getting my

implants, it went downhill from there very quickly. She needs them

removed, her symptoms will only continue to get worse. Who wants to be

on a testing merry go round forever? that is expensive & time

consuming and not solving/fixing anything.

I went through tests, tests, tests, and it seemed for awhile everything was

wrong. THe Ear

Nose & Throat doc found vestibular nerve damage (which can cause dizziness &

vertigo),

that is also consistent wtih MS, which the neurologist concluded I had.

So what do y ou do with that diagnosis? I took Avonex for awhile, which did

nothing but

make me sick and depressed. I looked at the 'studies' and it didn't seem to me

that the

alleged benefits were worth the side effects. So I stopped.

Some things, though, did help -- when I had tests that showed I had Hashimoto's

thyroiditis, I started on thyroid medicine (I have opted to take Armour and not

synthroid).

When the rheumatologist concluded I had connective tissue disease, the plaquenil

helped

tremendously with the pain.

I still think what has helped the most, so far, was getting my 20-year old

ruptured silicone

(no saline left by then in the double lumen implants) implants removed.

I no longer burst out in hives for no apparent reason. I no longer have the

extreme

dizziness I had. I am starting to get better.

I believe now that candidiasis (sp?) is a real problem, and treat it.

I am starting to work on my diet now. I'm reading " Physician Heal Thyself " and

much of

what it says makes sense. I am not a religious person, but I do believe that

eating foods

without the preservatives and chemicals etc. is going to be healthier.

Hi Molly,

It sounds like you are on the right path now. Simply changing your diet, treating candida and detoxing will give you the best chance at getting well. Unfortunately, since you are so sick, it is going to take a while for you to truly reap the benefits of your new lifestyle. It takes time to detox the body and get it healthy again. Don’t give up! I detoxed for three years before I felt completely well and I never had implants or the severity of disease that you now have. The doctors will give you diagnosis and drugs to treat them with but ultimately you won’t get well if you continue taking them. Take the drugs you feel you really need and continue with your diet, exercise and supplementation.

Best of luck!!

Thanks, Kenda. I do think there is a place for prescription drugs (or 'Western'

medicine).

Ultimately, it is an individual choice as to how to care for one's health.

Certainly, without

thryoid, I would be in bad shape. Similarly, my mother has a pacemaker that

keeps her

alive. But I no longer 'write off' herbs and alternative medicine, as I once

did. Desperation

makes believers of the greatest skeptics.

Diet and exercise is essential. I have not gotten into a habit of exercise yet,

as I used to. I

am on a much better diet, though. The exercise will take some time - my

rheumatologist

told me to get in the pool (which we have), and kick. That I will do...hmmm

maybe not today since we have a tropical storm outside!

Certainly you right, Molly, there is a place for Western medicine. The problem with it is that it is used to treat disease rather than prevent it. If you have a disease that can be eliminated through proper diet, exercise and supplementation why not be rid of it, rather than control its symptoms. There are many people with diseases that have progressed far beyond what natural medicine can do, for these people Western medicine is a necessity. A lot of people would rather control their symptoms rather than go through what is necessary to detox and become well. It certainly is a lot easier.

I sure can't argue with that. I suspect if I had taken care of my health all

these years and

NOT had those da** implants, I would be a lot healthier today.

hi

I definitely think it is the implant. People get sick at different

times. Some people get sick within months of implanting. Others not

for years. I didn't get sick with the dizziness for many years--

eleven. Then all of a sudden it was extreme and persistent feeling of

being drunk or dizzy. After explant, this horrible symptom left

quickly. MOst doctors and Plastic surgeons will tell you that

implants don't cause problems. (not true) Most tests for implanted

women will not point out a specific disease and they love to tell you

it is stress or pyschological. There are a few very well respected

plastic surgeons that will tell you that implants cause autoimmune

disease and we have a list of doctors here that will be supportive of

getting an explant. Tell heidi she should look into getting

explanted, because she will only continue to develop new and worse

symptoms if she leaves them in.

Hugs, kathy

There are a growing number of doctors who DO know the danger of breast implants.

I

have an internist that now believes that my implants caused my autoimmune

illnesses. My

rheumatologist said she too believes that there is a correlation between

implants &

autoimmune illness, because she has seen too many implant patients. Also, a

neurologist

I saw said the same thing - and it was he who first pointed out to me that DOW

funded the

highly touted Mayo study that claimed there was insufficient evidence to

conclude silicone

implants were dangerous. (That neurologist also did his residency at Mayo).

There is NO doubt in my mind that my ruptured implants caused my illnesses. It

took

many years - 16 years in fact -- for my health to seriously decline. My double

lumen

implants were 20 years old when I finally had them removed. By then, I

seriously

wondered if I would survive.

It may take hundreds of thousands more women getting very ill before the FDA /or

Canadian counterpart would put the manufacturer's feet to the fire.

I don't know. It saddens me to think it would, but just look at asbestos, or

tobacco...

and here we have the additional factor of gender bias that has a huge impact on

the

controversy.

larry - do you think the use of chocolate may be causing dizziness & vertigo because of the caffeine in it??

that's the reason i don't do coffee!! only hot stuff i drink i herbal teas!! and.....NO COLAS, or other cafeine-containing sodas, either!!

Regular chocolates USED to trigger exacerbations in me (since the 70s, but we THOUGHT they were "JUST" strange allergic reactions... but, gee, with MS type symptoms??? all the time)

So a few times now on LDN I've tried to trigger a flare with regular chocolate. I stop before it's too late and don't have a problem.

In November I ran a DARK chocolate 'trial' because people keep saying how much Better DARK chocolate is for you.

Well, after 5 days of having a small amount of various dark chocolate bars (dove IS really good!), I started feeling a bit of vertigo.

A few days later it was a LOT of vertigo. Took nearly 3 weeks to go away fully, Just like all my other attacks... 3 weeks after stopping whatever we found to be the trigger.

So......... it's inconclusive right now... come September I'm going to just have to repeat the test and see/confirm if it was the dark chocolate that gave me that reaction... just a Coincidence for now, but I'll bet it was the chocolate.

Cocoa, not caffeine. If it were caffeine, we'd all be vertigoing crazy.

I would strongly suggest you do your test with plain cocoa powder with nothing else in it instead of chocolate. Otherwise you can confuse a reaction to an ingredient in chocolate. I benefit, by the way, from Lindt's 85% chocolate..... from WalMart. mjh

Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Small Business.

[Guest guest]

welcome, joan,

how long have you had the dizziness? all 7 years?

can you describe what you call dizzy? is it spinning in circles? nausea?

or more like off-balance? ataxia?

have you been diagnosed with babesia? have you ruled out inner ear problems?

i had sudden, profound loss of balance for about 1 year, before i found

buhner book. it was like i was constantly floating in ocean, subject to huge

waves pushing and pulling me. i had no tactile sense of solid ground under

me. at worst, i had to hold onto walls and furniture in order to walk thru

my house. even laying down in bed i felt like i was falling out of bed--very

strange. during that time, i was not able to drive at all. never was a clear

diagnosis of that symptom. my llmd thought it was from babesia; but my guess

is that i might also be from mal de debarquement. i was treated with mepron

and zith for 4 months for babesia and during that time, the balance improved

slightly. but then i had severe setback and it took few more months during

which the symptom slowly improved. was not clear what, if any, treatment

helped. maybe just time.

now that i have the buhner protocol, i'd try looking at what he recommends

for neurological symptoms and add those herbs and supplements to my

protocol.

blessings on your healing journey,

kendra

I have many other symptoms but this is the one which keeps me

[Guest guest]

>Hello Joan,

I have had some degree of balance problems/vertigo throughout my

longstanding illness, though not to the extent that you imply.

I haven't really addressed this problem as a separate issue from the

rest of my symptoms, but I note that Buhner mentions the herb

Periwinkle [Vincamine] on Page 164 of his book in connection with this

and other 'brain' symptoms [20mg, three times daily].

He warns to use under a health practitioner if you have low blood

pressure and says it is contraindicated in brain tumours and increased

intracranial pressure.

If you haven't read the book, I can heartiyl recommend it!

Good luck,

Carolyn

I had an out-of-balance feeling and sometimes true vertigo--where the room seems

to spin around. These didn't persist all the time, but enough to send me to bed

on many occasions when I should have been up and working.

Since I did the Buhner treatments for Babesia--first artemisinin and then

cryptolepsis--I have not had either.

Yes, .

Usually when I stand up. Sometimes to the point I think I'm going to

pass out. Lots of people experience this. It's not an everyday, all

the time thing. Sometimes even when I'm already standing, doing

nothing in particular.

Dizzines IS a symptom of MS. It could also be your meds. Read your

lists of side effects. Mine say this may happen.

I also had dizzy spells sometimes after standing up when I was young

and had no MS or meds.

Hope this helps you.

[Guest guest]

I get that but call it more like feeling like blacking out. I wish I

really knew what is going on when I feel that. At age 33 that was one

of my first noticeable symptoms and happened while driving then both

legs did tremors then I was numb in right leg then eventually went numb

all over with a lot more symptoms. I'm 45 now.

I'm not sure if the Ultram enhanced any of that dizziness/blacking out

feeling or if it was just doing that anyhow b/c did before I ever took

Ultram.

I think the barometric pressure can make people feel dizzy also and we

have low pressure so much now and didn't in the past. I noticed that 3-

4 years ago when my symptoms would be different with low pressure

fronts. I have this liquid barometer where low pressure pushes water up

the spout and it almost stays up all the time now and even drips water

out of it. You see how it is affecting the weather and it definately

affects our bodys also.

Still all the symptoms I had/have are better on LDN.
