Wanted to respond sooner but emotionally was not up to it. Also, I wanted to wait until I saw my doctor. UGH, I left his office in tears - he dismissed the blood in my bra - said it was probably a little vein that burst - there is no break in the skin - no break where my surgical scar is but there is morphea lesion in the same spot where the blood appeared in the bra. He ordered more blood tests, ANA, etc. I cried all the way home - felt depressed all week - to the point I quit taking evening my supplements. It is obvious this group of rhuematologists are blind sided and don't want to support the silicone poisoning theory. If you could post this so I can find a rhuematoligist in S. Florida - Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Pompano - or even further. My primary care doctor is very supportive and was even angry at my dermatologist who was dismissing lesions starting from behind my ear and continuing to the crown of my head. I was going on away and he could not fit me it - they were sore and itchy so I called her. She treated them - but her opinion was to find another dermatologist too. I like the information you put on the net the other day which was written by a doctor about how the silicone affects the body. I printed it out and I am making copies and taking it to all my doctors with the request it be put in my file.

I am feeling better emotionally this week -- no one is going to come to fix it for me -- just have to keep moving though it physically and mentally. I am desperately trying to stay out of the heat - hard to do living in FL - because the heat appears to set off so much pain and discomfort along with fatigue and other weird side affects for me. I feel like I am in jail during the summer months. I get so depressed at times because I do miss the sun, beach and playing a little golf - just walking to my car in the heat some days is tooooo much. Thanks to everyone for their caring responses and for you being there for all of us.
