@moprea I understand. I have sensitivities to metals that I have experienced from dental work and from titanium plates when I broke my ankle. Fortunately, I was later able to have those materials removed from my body.

The Environmental Health Center Dallas is the practice of a doctor who started the field of environmental medicine. Here is their page on treatment for implant sensitivities. They may also have books on the subject. They treat the immune responses for people with implants.

Jennifer I spoke with Dr Seymour in Dallas for over an hour. I am headed to Dallas next week to work with her and have more metal testing done. She is thinking she can help me. She also wants me to see Dr at John Hopkins on June 5th to 100% rule out any structural thing.
I thank you sooooooo much for your advice on her!! The first Dr I feel like really listening to my pain.
Bless you!
