What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Titanium Allergy?

Dear Dr. I strongly suspect my daughter may have a titanium allergy. She is 17 and had her gall bladder out 1 year ago February and has titanium clips. Looooong story, countless tests, procedures, different therapies with no results, many doctors, including a specialist at Children s, and titanium allergy is the one possibility that no one has looked at and when I finally brought it up with the last specialist we saw, it was dismissed. The good news is that the doctors believe her, they see that her pain and symptoms are real, (just thought I d mention this). Now for the question: what do I need to do to get a MELISA test for her? At this point I just feel we are on our own. If doctors are reluctant to entertain this idea then how can I get this test so as to know whether or not to eliminate it? We live in southeast Idaho. Thank you for your time.

MELISA medical foundation aimed to work for patients benefit have option to send blood test sample of patient direct to the test centre of organisation either by approaching the test centre of nearest area or contact them to collect sample all by yourself with the help of sample collecting kit sent by them via post.
Go the official site of MELISA.org and select your preferences regarding taking the test at laboratory or clinic authorized by the organization or request them a test kit.
Once the allergy is ruled out a better understanding of cause of symptoms will be established along with patients trust and few other approaches to diagnose the relevant cause will surely help with treatment.
Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
