Jennifer, thank you for your information which could help many. Right now I have overcome several chronic diseases, Adult Leukemia and 3 types of eczema, all are in remission now. I attribute my health improvement to my anti-inflammation diet and also avoidance of specific contacts which testing identified. Cancelling my knee surgery probably saved my sanity. As I have written about in the past, my eczema inflammation was so extreme inside my skin I felt like I was being tasered: stinging, burning and itching. The sensations were more extreme at night when our histamine level is higher and I was at the point of suicide from lack of sleep. I'm glad I had the strength to keep searching for answers. I feel great today at 72. Yes I know my knee pain will return, but as I mentioned it's only limiting me in certain motions and I can still lead a productive life working around that with the current deterioration. Living with chronic pain is impossible to face 24/7. I absolutely cannot understand why Medicare will not require allergy testing for all the components in implants. This testing will immediately save Medicare the money to pay for the expensive surgeries, but more importantly this testing will save implant patients from the misery of living a life with a body at war with itself, a body rejecting a foreign body inside itself.
