Breast implant illness
« on: July 22, 2019, 09:23:33 AM »

An interesting topic on the Victoria Derbyshire show this morning. BBC 2.

Many women with this problem having had breast implants. When they had them taken out the symptoms went.

Symptoms inc, hair loss, joint pains, depression, chronic fatigue, etc etc...

Interesting for women who have implants who might be thinking their symptoms are menopause related, it could be this?! 🤷‍♀️

Didn't see the programme, but aware of the issues.  A worry those who have had implants post-mastectomy could do without.  Especially the ALCL.  Not sure whether this condition was covered in the broadcast, as it's still pretty rare, though more cases being reported all the while.  Not good.
