My Symptoms following Synvisc

I'm 3 years out from my Synvisc injections after my OS suggested this about 2 months following arthroscopic knee surgery after an injury. I had a life-threatening adverse event/reaction to Synvisc. Most of the symptoms lasted WELL over a year, and I still deal with some. IV chelation & IV nutrition therapies, as well as specific homeopathics SAVED MY LIFE and have helped to restore my health. I still deal with some of these symptoms, especially if I go too long without chelation. I've come a long way since this first started, but it's been a LONG, HARD-fought battle to get to where I am today. And EXPENSIVE. Consider this BEFORE you consent to Synvisc injections for knee pain or when your OS suggests that you're a good candidate for these injections. You're likely a better candidate for Ozone injections that actually heals the joint and prevents knee-replacement! [I am not a doctor and nor do I profit off of ozone treatments. Just a person who went through hell physically and emotionally following Synvisc injections.]

Is it worth years of this:

a] debilitating fatigue
b] periods of breathing difficulties
c] racing heart and cough
d] Sticky skin & sticky inside of my mouth
e] loss of coordination and balance, and some short term memory
f] Dizzy spells/passing out
g] persistent tremors throughout face, chest and arms
h] brain tremors -- feels like the vibration of an idling car
i] Intense acid burning that started with the knee injection, and burned down through the lower leg.
j] The intense burning then moved throughout my body and entire nervous system, including my brain. It was unbearable in the first several months
k] Random body jerks and pressure in my chest that started with the injection.
l] Numb arms, hands, legs, feet
m] Body trembled uncontrollably
n] OVER THE TOP chemically sensitive since injections
o] I had extreme tightness behind the knee for weeks, Baker's Cyst was ruled out
