I started out with s...I have very similar symptoms. <BR/><BR/>I started out with saline implants and developed an aggressive form lymphoma in the pericapsular space surrounding one of the implants. I was explanted, with "partial mastectomy" and reconstructed at the same time with cohesive gel silicone implants. <BR/><BR/>I had six rounds of chemotherapy. I am disease free, however, I've since developed an auto-immune thyroid problem as well as most of the symptoms you listed. I had attributed my complaints to the chemo effects. Now wondering if its the platinum from the newer implants.<BR/><BR/>I scan journal articles and have found the lymphoma I had is appearing to be an emerging entity associated with breast implants. Time will tell.<BR/><BR/>I've also been labeled with PTSD. Feeling more like I have dementia at times and I've had to leave my very demanding, fast paced job for something less demanding physically as I am toasted, physically and mentally daily by mid afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
