Hey hannah,

I would look up neurotoxicity caused by the anesthetic when you got your boobs done. Thats what happened to me after an operation. Neurotoxicity can take weeks and months to develop. But exhibits all these symptoms. Defs worth a look up as quite a few people on this site have our issues from anesthetic. Xx

Look up Breast Implant Illness, it is possible and several have experienced it.

Thank you, I tried to Google it but all I was able to find was links about the affects on developing brains and scholarly articles with intense jargin. How were you diagnosed? I can't even get a neurologist to take me seriously because my MRIs are all normal.

Thank you. I have been reading up on Breast implant illness for the last year, I've watched the YouTube vids and it all seems to align perfectly with my symptoms. I had heard of it prior to getting the surgery but was hoping it wouldn't happen to me. I only had the surgery to correct a tuberous breast deformity. Had I known it would leave me disabled I would not have done it. I'm pregnant and cannot get them removed until i save up the money to have the entire capsulectomy done which is $9000 for a complete detox removal. Biggest mistake of my life. Since I can't get them out right now I'm seeing if there is another cause for my symptoms. My b12 was 335 so I'm taking sublingual tabs of the kind that starts with 'M'. It has helped a little. I just saw my doc Fri and am waiting on the call for my first Rheumatologist. Hanging by a thread here

Hannah, I would also like to mention that the onset of symptoms after your surgical implants could be related to the surgery itself, not necessarily the implants. Firstly, if you were intubated for the surgery, your neck is hyperextended and there may have been some neck issues introduced. I'm sure your chiro has checked into this? Secondly, POTS, as your chiro mentioned, has a genetic component, but is usually triggered by an event such as certain viruses, injury, and surgery. POTS is a form of dysautonomia, which is a term for a disregulated autonomic nervous system (which can exist in a general form, not just POTS). So many diagnoses have been thought to fall under the dysautonomia umbrella: mitral valve prolapse syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia...etc etc. I personally think that this dysfunction of the nervous system is congenital, and different things trigger it. It then manifests differently.. Migraine, dizziness, tinnitus, imbalance, anxiety, palpitations, gastro issues, fatigue, and so forth.... Especially when there is symptom overlap and tests rule out other obvious causes. What is not known is what exactly causes a disregulation of the nervous system. I have recently found upper cervical chiropractic to greatly help me. I also found that one must find the right chiro... The first one made me worse. My current one helps immensely. Other things that are thought to help most of these conditions are low glycemic diet (anti inflammatory diet), easy, building up of gentle aerobic exercise, vitamin supplementation, and certain antidepressant drugs have been found to be helpful in almost all the conditions I mentioned (for a subset of people), even though one is not depressed (most likely through modulation of neurotransmitters).

Nichole , what kind of attacks are you having ?

I'm dizzy and lightheaded all day I feel like I'm falling like I'm disoriented I get pains in my arms and legs the headaches are so bad I can't function my life is literally over I can't think straight anymore and no one understands 

Have you been to a functional doctor?. One that deals with neurotoxins and genetics?. I went thru a barrage of doctors for the past 7 years trying to figure out why i was dizzy, foggy headed, felt like a brick over my eyes. No energy, lethargy. Head never clear, spacial perception and writing, speech abilities affected. After much lab work found out i have cirs with marcons.. look them both up for full description and see if any of it makes sense.. im 4 months into treatment and starting to feel difference.

Please dont think your life is over. I know its beyond frustrating , but Theres an answer

Hi Nicole, this sounds totally like a Vitamin B12 and Magnesium/Calcium deficiency. You need to take a multivitamin + extra magnesium and calcium asap! Plus you need to drink more water (add mineral drops) and you need to add on your carb intake. Carbs are the number one energy source for your body and brain! (healthy carbs.. - eat hot oatmeal with apple sauce, lots of vegetables - no crappy crabs please (chips etc.) 

 

It's so frustrating I'min the pen hospital system so no matter what Dr. I see they read in the system that the original doctor wrote it's anxiety and they don't even check me for anything else in the meantime I'm getting sicker and sicker I've lost my job it's just a mess the health system where I live sucks

Nicole, same here. All my doctors are in the same medical system. After they read the first doctor's note, they would echo him without even examnation. 

It's sickening I've lost my life over this and they don't care they really don't I can't stand up half the time I cry all the time I get no relief I was a happy healthy girl until I had this tooth pulled out and then all this started I don't get it I'm so puzzled I spend all my time researching and thinking I can figure it out 

I'm going to look into it what you said I'm so desperate I'll try anything seems that everything is a dead end 

If you are so sick, you need to see doctors. Just go back to see them again and again until they do something for you, don't give it up.  I'm sure you will be fine, despite of your uncomfortableness. But you need to find out the cause of the issues. 

If you have some time look into the 2 things i mentioned earlier. The first is cirs.. read it and its symptoms. Then look up marcons and read it. Then search for a functional Dr near you and get an appt. Let me know what you think after you read the descriptions of the two illnesses . You will find dental procedures as one of the contributing factors in cirs patients

Yes I did read up on them last night ! Looks like they find it in a blood test is that correct ? What kind of treatment did they do for u ? And are the symptoms gone ? 

Also is it only a functional medicine doctor that can treat that ?

I do go to them I try so many 2-3 a week it's so frustrating they say the same bs anxiety that's all they know and give u all these crazy meds I've had anxiety all my life this is not it my whole left side goes numb 

Yes, extensive bloodworm to determine what the root of the problem is. I also had genetic testing done because your bodys ability to absorb or not absorb certain things can affect your health as well.

As a sidenote, in my attempt to figure this out my family doctor put me in on anti depressant .......bad. i have anxiety as well but what i was experiencing was different than anxiety and hard to explain to anyone who wasnt experiencing it. I probably saw more than 10 different doctors trying to get someone to figure out what was wrong

It's so hard when they think they know you better than we know ourselves. The only person who has taken me seriously is my chiropractor and she suggested POTS. My doc won't do a tilt table test on my until after I'm not pregnant anymore. Worth looking into...and also chiropractor/acupuncture has helped me manage and cope but is not the total answer..but worth trying.
