Normal levels of cobalt in blood, derived from food and vitamins, should be below 1.8 micrograms/liter ( a microgram is one millionth of a gram).
Levels above 2.0 should be monitored, and above 5.0 is considered toxic.
Have you been tested for cobalt in your blood? Do you possibly have metal-on-metal hip implants, which is the most common cause of this concern?

Both hips have been replaced with metal on metal. I am going to ask for lab work. I had some tests years ago and it was high, but no one knew what to do about it. Is there some treatment available?
