Thank you all for your input!
Katie, your information about Carrie is very interesting! Thank you.
I did not experience the symptoms Carrie described nor did I have any of the red flags that would point at a metal allergy after ADR implantation. But, never say never. I will definitely bring up metal allergy testing with my doctors.
I also need to find out if this test is covered by Medicare (in the U.S.)
Does anyone know?
