tests (Breast Implants & Hair Loss)

posted by Lolli, 17.01.2007, 10:55

lynnwood, I'm really worried about this issue because I have had every conceivable test. My symptoms were, hairloss, fatigue (abnormal levels), insomnia and headaches (but I do suffer from migraines anyway). I had a frozen shoulder about a year ago and 5 bouts with kidney stones followed by 5 surgeries for same. My implants were done in June of 2004 and the hairloss began in October of 2004. I have seen at least 4 derms, 2 GP's, an rheumatologist, an internist and a cardiologist (for the fatigue). They have done MRI's, CT scans, Nuclear cardiac testing. YOU NAME IT! I am sick, sick sick of having these tests and being told by a couple of the docs that 'perhaps some psych counseling would help'. This is simply because I have all these bizarre problems with no known cause. I'm happy that they haven't found a dire cause for the hairloss, fatigue, etc., but I AM NOT NUTS!! My hair is at least 1/2 of what it used to be, but since they can't see that by just looking...they assume that I'm imagining it. I have been researching saline implants and i'm really concerned about the hairloss possibly being attributed to them. I am so happy with them, but this is not the price I want to pay...my health. I know the shell is silicone, but is it enough to cause these problems? I don't know and can't find anyone who does. I will continue to look on my own. Let me know what your scalp biopsy says. Lolli
