I know this question was specific to breast implants, but I can't miss a chance to tell this story. My immune system was shakey, on and off again high sed rates with the HLA-B27 gene. Then in March 2003, I had bi-lateral knee replacements. In May 2003, I developed Sjogren's Syndrome along with Peripheral Neuropathy. Yes, that fast.

My body hates these knees. I have been very ill since all of this started. I have brief periods where the immune system tries to straighten out, but never does it completely. I strongly advise anyone contemplating implants to think about it hard! Consider what your health is currently like and what you can do to enhance it before jumping in and letting a surgeon talk you into this. Mine did. I regret it every day.
