Blking5098
Hello, I have had a variety of symptoms over a course of a few years . I have had my silicone implants for over 12+. i have had symptoms such as allergies, dry itchy eyes, GI issues, heart palp,bleeding gums, heart racing, hormonal changes, neck pain.. My test come back normal, We found that i had low iron due to heavy periods but have since started to come up. Can low iron be a sign of silcone toxicty? or rupture or BII?
