Having Headaches, Nausea, Metalic Taste, Burning And Itching. Using Tommie Copper Compression Products For Osteoarthritis. Help?
I began using Tommie Copper compression products for my osteoarthritis. I have developed rashes everywhere and it is painful. Is it possible I have too much copper? I was using the compression garments on my knees and hands. As soon as the first rash developed I quit wearing them. After I quit wearing them the rash began to spread to other parts of my body (arms, waste, ankles). Other symptoms that I have experienced are headaches, nausea, a metalic taste, burning and itching. What should I do?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having can be due to too much of copper in the contents of supplements that you are taking or an allergic reaction to these products. It is best to avoid using these.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
