  • Posted to If You Are Sick for No Reason It Could Be Your Implants - Melbourne, AU on 3 Jan 2013

    I hope Im helping some one out there even if its just 1 person, I have learnt alot from the sickness this year that I most likely wouldnt have otherwise, I have learnt I have a wonderful family and friends that I no longer take for granted and who no longer take me for granted, I am happy just to wake up in the morning not feeling sick and without a headache, I eat much better and make sure I dont wear myself out working in my business, I make every Sunday a day to rest and be with family and get out of the house and do something, The television is very rarely on anymore and any negative thinking has gone out the window, I choose how to react situations that are stressful and for the most part most things will happen whether you stress or not so why put yourself through it, life is much better without it.But the most important thing I have learnt is to be happy just being me with no floatation devices attached to the front of my chest, I feel better, my neck muscles no longer hurt and Tshirts look alot better without them. Love me or hate me I am who I am and Im Happy with that :-)

    Hi, I am doing very well at the moment, I still have the headache every now and then but compared to waking up everyday with it, it is much better. My lymph nodes still have silicone in them and the surgeon said it may take up to 12 months before they are completely cleared so I will have some of the symptoms coming and going for a while yet. Maybe you could have your lymph nodes checked to see if they have any residual silicone in them that may be causing your symptoms to come back. I still have problems with some foods and lack of sleep but again compared to how it has been I cant complain. I hope you continue to get well and the relapses get less and less. Did you have replacement implants put in?

    Hi 80s girl, If they are ruptured get them out asap, I have been incredibly sick for over a year and nobody could figure out why, checking lumps in my arm pits showed both implants have been ruptured for some time and silicone has leaked into the lymph nodes. I had them out almost 3 weeks ago and am starting to feel better, dont wait until its too late and you would be suprised, most people are happy to help out, you just need to let them know
  • Posted to I am seeing a surgeon this week for pip removal as both have ruptured, can anybody help with questions I should be asking? on 23 Nov 2012

    I have been very sick for just over 12 months with no reasons for it, I was tired all the time, had vomiting and diorehea, body aches and pains a constant headache that varied on how bad it was on a daily basis, if I had a good day where I felt sort of normal I then followed that up with 3 days on the couch unable to move from fatigue, I then had anxiety attacks and depression and was put on medication for that, it helped a little but not for long, I had all sorts of tests done and all came back clear, I have lost 14kg since the start of the year as I could only eat jelly beans and Beef Jerkey but the weight loss showed up some lumps under my armpits that turned out to be silicone in the lymphnodes an Ultra scan and MRI showed both had ruptured and had been leaking for some time, I had them removed 5 days ago and other than the headache and a bit of tiredness the other symptoms seem to be improving, I can even eat :-)

    They were removed at the start of the week. I had trouble as the right breast filled up with blood and I had to go back into surgery for a 2nd time to drain it but otherwise all went good. I am glad they are gone and am looking forward to when things have settled down and I can go back to doing normal things
