Yes I have extreme fatigue and insomnia as well as numbness and tingling in my hands and feet.I am waiting to see a Bariatric surgeon to see if he thinks it's a possibility but the wait list to see him is about 72 weeks as it's considered non emergency.

I had my gastric band in 2003 and have been very ill with all the symptoms of silicone toxicity but have been yet to be diagnosed with same. Lyme disease has also got all of the symptoms that I suffer except I wasn't bitten by a tick. Basically every system in my body has been affected from depression to cardiac symptoms but all tests come back normal. I've had MRI, PET Scan, Echocardiogram,ECG all normal. The only thing out of whack is my blood work. I have a CRP level that keeps rising for mo apparent reason, thus indicating inflammation in my body or infection but as I said tests are normal. I'm seeing a Rheumatologist who has diagnosed me with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and the treatment for this is prednisone which I've been taking since Sept 2015 with no good response.My CRP keeps rising and I am still in pain and suffering. Can anyone please tell me if they've experienced symptoms of Silicone toxicity after having lap band?
