I have titanium implants in my spine and have had an immune disorder since they were put in, and progressive muscle loss. I have been concerend its the titanium because I have severe deep itch type pain in the implants still 1 1/2 yrs after my surgery. Would titanium dioxide be the same as the titanium in orthopedic implants, and would the Melisa test tell me if Im allergic to the implants ? I have itching with meds I take as well, and lately I am realizing the pain in my implants is worse after I drink milk.I heard of the Melisa test, but was told you have to have a Drs order to get a kit. I found one Melisa lab that was offering the test for free temporarily but they needed a Drs order. The allergy Dr I saw would not write an order because she didnt feel the Melisa test was validated enough. :(
your doctor and dentist will definitly tell you it is not a titanium allergy as titanium is a non-allergic metal, therefore, closed case. don't even think you will prove them wrong by having the offending metal removed and see a hundred percent improvement. that just means you have changed up something else in your life that has made a difference. my problems started with an over active thyroid, had it ablated (killed) and about two weeks later puffed up like a blow fish. went back to doctor to ask about a diuretic as i knew my body was unable to deal with anything as the thyroid controls all of your bodily functions. prior to the ablation i was diagnosed with high blood pressure, never had that before as i donated blood on a regular bases and they kept close track on that. suddenly i had two dental implants(titanium) go bad. they went sideways in my jaw and i developed a bacterial infection from the gap that developed from the shifting had them removed. doctor and dentist claimed to have never seen this happen before. i believe this was the start of my allergy to titanium dioxide. it had actually been brewing in my body for years. add cosmetics, sunscreen, deoderant, toothpaste,body lotion, fragrance, shampoo,conditioner,gum,breathmints,snackcakes,hair dye nail polish
