I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE ALL THOSE ABOVE STATED DISEASES AND MORE.  I ALSO HAD BILATERAL MASTECTOMIES AND SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS WHICH CAUSED ME MAJOR PROBLEMS AND AFTER 14 SURGERIES  IN 1993 THEY HAD TO BE REMOVED AND NOW I HAVE NOTH ING IN MY CHEST AREA.  I LIVE IN CHRONIC PAIN 24 /7 AND OUT OF THE PAST  STARTING IN 1990 I BEGAN TO GET ILL AND IN 1991 EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG BEGAN TO GO WRONG.  NOW IT IS 2007 AND I AM SO VERY ILL AND I CONTINUE THE JOURNEY OF ILLNESS.  AN ORAL SURGEON TRIED TO PUT IN AN IMPLANTED TOOTH BUT ENDED UP BREAKING MY JAW.  I HAD 4 ARTHROCOPIC SURGERIES ON THE LEFT SIDE AND 1 OPEN JOINT SURGERY AND 3 ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERIES ON THE RIGHT SIDE.  I  COULD GO ON AND ON BUT IT DEPRESSES ME GREATLY.   THIS MONTH ON THE 21ST I WILL GO IN FOR MAJOR MAJOR SURGERY TO HAVE THE RIGHT JOINT IN MY JAW COMPLETELY REMOVED  BUT SINCE THERE IS NOW JOINT AT ALL THERE AS I AM IN END STAGE ARTHRITIS KNOWN AS A DISEASE WHERE AS THE BONE COMPLETELY THICKENS UP AND MERGES TOGETHER WITH ALL THE OTHER BONES AND THEN ATTACHES ITSELF TO THE SKULL.  THE SURGEON HAS HAD TO HAVE A JOINT CUSTOM MADE FOR ME AND HE WILL HAVE TO SCULPT THE ENTIRE BONE AREA THERE TO MAKE A PLACE FOR THIS NEW JOINT TO GO IN.  ON THE LEFT SIDE HE WILL ONLY HAVE TO DO A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT AS THERE IS SOME JOINT LEFT THERE SSSSSSSSSO ONLY THE CONDYL WILL BE REPLACED AND HOPEFULLY I WON'T HAVE TO GO BACK IN TO HAVE DONE TO THE LEFT SIDE WHAT IS BEING DONE TO THE RIGHT SIDE.  THIS SURGERY WILL TAKE ALL OF 8 1/2 TO BE DONE.  THIS JUST SEEMS TO BE THE TOPPER OF THE CAKE SINCE 2004 WHEN I HAD TO HAVE  WHAT IS CALLED CABG SURGERY.  THIS IS BASICALLY DOUBLE BY-PASS OPEN HEART SURGERY.  I HAD WHAT IS CALLED A COLOSTOMY DONE IN JUNE OF 2004.  MY COLON WAS NOT WORKING  PROPERLY.  I ACTUALLY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT FOR 3 STRAIGHT MONTHS.  HARD TO BELIEVE BUT SO VERY TRUE.  NOT ONE OF MY DOCTORS WOULD BELIEVE M BUT AFTER COMPLAINING FOR SO LONG U WILL SHORTEN THE STORY BY TELLING YOU I HAD TO HAVE THAT SURGERY ONLY TO FIND OUT AS I HAD TOLD THEM FROM THE BEGINNING THAT I NEEDED TO GET RID OF MY COLON.  AND THEN 9 SURGERIES LATER I HAD TO HAVE THE REGULAR PRE OP TESTS DONE.  WELL, I FOUND OUT MY EKG WAS NOT GOOD AND I HAD TO HAVE A HEART CATHERIZATION AND WITHING 2 WKS I WAS HAVINING DOUBLE BY PASS SURGERY.  BOY WAS THAT A HORRID EXPERIENCE AND PAINFUL BEYOND IMAGINATION.  IT WAS WORSE THAN ALL MY OTHERS PUT TOGETHER.  I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND THIS OUT OR I WOULD NOT BE HERE WRITING TO ALL YOU NICE PEOPLE.

NOW I HAVE HAD TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT FOR BOTH JOINTS IN MY JAW.  SOGRENS DESTROYED THEM AND MY TEETH.
