Hello YES Dr Seymour was amazing she felt like my only hope! I am in my 3rd month of shots to help my body to stop rejecting the implant. She says it can take 6-9 months for it to kick in. Fingers crossed. I am also doing chelation to help rid my body of the high levels of metal in my body.
I can not have my implant taken out Dr too afraid I would have to much bone loss and may have no where to attach a 3rd revision. Which could mean I am sure you can guess.

Yes I have the same issue. Nickel allergy. I had my implant changed to titanium alloy but I am still having the allergy symptoms starting a year after the revision.
