It is a crime that this testing is not done on every patient and that the industry and doctors ignore it. Research on these issues are hard to find, or done on a few patients or animals. I had a lumbar and neck fussion, essure implant, and dental fillings. No big issues until they put metal in my body. Nickel allergy was always reported. Class action lawsuits do not stop it. I feel like I am plugged in all the time, have had many of the symptoms mentioned. What a shame that the US does not want to provide these tests or is preventing them on purpose. Lots of doctors in Allopathic medicine are harming so many and covering their eyes, mouth and ears. Do no harm is the oath they take. Surgeons only learn by having a human to practice on. It is in their interest to do surgery on you and pretend it is no big deal. Normalizing dangerous procedures is harming many setting them up for a lifetime of pain. These tests would provide many answers to those who cannot find any, and prevent future harm for millions. What kind of metals are in medications and why are countries of origin allowed to test and pass them without US testing follow up upon shipment arrival? The Melisa testing says they are not accepting tests from the US right now.
Kristen supported: Implement Routine Metal Hypersensitivity Screening in Medical and Surgical SettingsI had an Essure permenant birth control device implanted in 2015. I was told it was "safe and permanent." I trusted my doctor. After the 3 month dye test I started experiencing problems. I was told over and over for just shy of 10 years my problems weren't related to Essure. I was experiencing chronic fatigue, hair loss, rashes that appeared to be guttate and plaque psoriasis that would come and go, chronic all over body pain, metallic taste in my mouth, pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, etc.
I had no idea that a reaction could occur from this device. If the doctor would've mentioned that I could have a foreign body reaction, I would've never had Essure implanted.
I had a bilateral Laparscopic Salpingectomy to remove Essure and fragments were left behind in my uterus. I now have to have a second surgery.
A lot of my problems did go away after my first surgery but now, since it wasn't removed properly, I have more problems.
Metal hypersensitivity testing should be required prior to any metal implant. Also, doctors should inform their patients about the possibility of a foreign body reaction.
Jennifer supported: Implement Routine Metal Hypersensitivity Screening in Medical and Surgical SettingsI have had bizarre health issues since I had my gallbladder surgery. All labs come back normal but no one can explain the symptoms I have had.
