She has been using it for 3 years and she started getting pains in her knees specially at night time! The reason why she doesnt stop using the Poligrip is because she says that the Fixodent doesnt hold as strong. So is there a safer one out there that is also strong? Im very concern about my mom and want to know if she keeps using the Poligrim what would happend to her? Ok my mom has been feeling all of the symptoms yet she doesnt stop using the Poligrip.

I started having physical symptoms during August 2008. I experienced numbness in my left hand during January 2009. On January 26, 2009 my left hand and thumb collapsed. By Thursday that funny feeling ran up my left arm to the left side of my face. I experienced weakness on that side and in my legs. I had tingling and pain in my left arm that moved to my legs then to my right arm. I ended up in the hospital on January 29, 2009. I was in so much pain and so nervous. The doctors tested me for heart attack and stroke. No one thought to test me for zinc poisoning which could have been the problem. I used super poligrip from May 2008 to January 2009.

The trouble I've noticed here lately is the super polygrip is crystalizing and extremely difficult to squeeze out of the tube. I've been using it for 10 years and have never had this problem until recently. Also, I don't know if it has anything to do with the adhesive or not but I've been experiencing some pretty hefty headaches here lately on a daily basis. They began about the same time I started noticing the crystalizing. I didn't even know there was a recall until I typed "super polygrip" into a search to find their website and ask them if they've changed their formula. That's when I saw this recall on the search page. Any suggestions on a comparable replacement to super polygrip that's safe?
