Fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain are among the symptoms people describe as \u201cbreast implant illness (BII)<\/a>.\u201d The symptoms are real, but researchers are still working out whether (and how) the implants might be involved.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAt this point, well-designed studies have not shown that breast implants cause MS or other neurological diseases,\u201d breast surgical oncologist Dr. Magdalena Lombardi Plasilova told SheKnows\u2019 sister site Flow Space<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tApplegate is experiencing concerning symptoms, though, and is on the hunt for answers. \u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on in my joints, but I can\u2019t move my right shoulder like at all now. I can\u2019t lift my arm,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \n\tApplegate recently revealed that she had been misdiagnosed with MS<\/a>, leaving her with even more questions. Her doctors are testing<\/a> for other conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease. A different diagnosis could change her treatment, but first, she has to get through the testing.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe\u2019re going into square one, just doing some testing and going one-by-one of the sister diseases to MS,\u201d she told MeSsy <\/em>listeners earlier this month. \u201cYou\u2019ve got RA [rheumatoid arthritis], lupus, Lyme disease, all these things can kind of mimic MS. So now I\u2019m being tested for all that stuff slowly but surely.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAnd then there are the unsolicited suggestions. Sigler said she\u2019d received about 150 texts from people recommending doctors or hoping to connect with Applegate. But Applegate said many of those possibilities were already on her radar.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt\u2019s overwhelming because there\u2019s so many different things that could be going on,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Christina](\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-sheknows-2020\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
