Hello to everyone out there. Before you settle with this disorder I would like to ask you; do any of you have breast implants? If so, please reach out to me as this is more than likely the cause.I can answer so many questions and help you onto the road to healing. I am about 90% symptom free now! There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel!
I have been to so many doctors and have had so many tests run and all they can tell me is I have a random case of Lupus. My joints hurt so bad I can't move them, I have had a severe (extremely severe) red rash all over my face, I can't leave the house because I am always sick. The best way to describe it is I feel like I am dying. My doctor can not explain how a very healthy 40 year old woman with none of those symptoms ever one day just started getting them. Medicine does not help me. My husband told me yesterday to look up Breast Implant Illness. I have every one of the symptoms. I had implants put in 9 months before the symptoms started that are silicone. I am not living life these past two years and mentally it puts you in a bad spot. I am going to get mine removed as this is not a way to live. I am allergic to all kinds of things and I have bad allergies so I am 100% sure my body is slowly killing me from the breast implant induced lupus. It is the only thing I did that would cause me to get any symptoms. It is an awful disease and it destroys lives.
That is incorrect. They did not stop using them. In fact there are more cases now than ever before. Check out Breast Implant illness and you will find these same symptoms there. The implants are still causing autoimmune disorders such as lupus and Sjogren's. Check the facts.
In the early '90's, a large study suggested that silicone breast implants used in those days may cause autoimmune disease, and a large class action lawsuit was settled in favor of women who had gotten sick after implants. They stopped using them back then.
It's good you've found something that has helped you!
