MS and silicone breast implants
Hello,
I am new to this forum and I was wondering if there is anyone who has silicone breast implants and thinks they might have caused their MS. I had implants implanted in 1998 and had them removed in 2016 as they were leaking. I was diagnosed with MS in 2013. I always wondered if there was a connection. I know anything is possible with MS but I am hoping there might be someone on here that is in a similar situation to myself or someone who perhaps has knowledge in this area.
Many thanks,

Vickilou –
A quick Google search turned up this information.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK44793/
Note, however, that the studies are about ten years old. I hope it’s useful.
