I had 3 stents put into my iliac veins this september. I wonder could this cause the same results for me? peach

@jonpaulcobaltpo There are treatments for metal sensitivities. The Environmental Health Center in Dallas treats environmental and immune problems and did a lot of the research into this. They sell medical volumes for doctors in their store about treatment protocols, and you can go there for treatment. I haven't been there, but this was information from my doctor who is in the American Academy of Environmental Medicine https://www.aaemonline.org/. The link to the Environmental Health Center in Dallas is https://www.ehcd.com/
I am a Mayo spine surgery patient and I was concerned about immune reactions to implants. I did have metal sensitivity testing for implants done at a lab in Chicago, Orthopedic Analysis https://www.orthopedicanalysis.com/ It's good to think about that before receiving surgical implants. I sent a blood sample by mail that had to stay warm and they provided a heat pack. Although I didn't have reactions to the metals tested, I was able to have spine surgery without hardware because I agreed to stay in a neck brace for 3 months. I have issues with reactions to metals in earrings and had to stop wearing them, so I was concerned. Thanks for bringing this up. It's good information and it should be something patients should ask their doctors.
