Link Between Fibromyalgia and Saline Breast Implants?

Marieal,
There are no studies showing any correlation between implants and autoimmune disease or fibromyalgia. This is all a controversy manufactured by trial lawyers fueled by sensationalism in the press. I would invite whatever doctor you talked with to defend his position and back up his facts. While you may have fibromyalgia, it is not due to the implants - it is a just an unfortunate coincidence.

Thank you for your question. There is no correlation between breast implants and  autoimmune diseases or fibromylagia.  Sorry that you are experiencing your symptoms.  Best to continue close followup with your primary care physician. Best Wishes. 

Auto immune diseases are something that has received a great deal of attention when it comes to breast implants.
There has been a significant amount of research trying to document a connection. None has ever been shown.
That being said, if you're convinced that your implants are the cause you can have them removed. Just be prepared for no improvement in symptoms, although it may help your peace of mind.
I hope this helps.

Hi there,
I'm not sure why the physician you saw thinks your saline implants are linked to your fibromyalgia. There has been a great deal of scientific interest in fibromyalgia and implants over the past 30 years, and in none of these well done and well controlled studies has there ever been demonstrated a link between a history of breast augmentation and fibromyalgia. I'm sorry you're having problems, but would not want you to believe they're due to your implants.

There is not conclusive evidence linking breast implants to a risk of developing fibromyalgia. There have been extensive studies in the literature on this subject.
