Back in limbo!

Went in to consent to surgery, turns out I may have a rare but serious metal allergy which would mean I wouldn't be able to have surgery at all...ever. So now just awaiting the test results (cost $450) and it will either be a yes, and I'll start Opti straight away, or a big no. What a weird precipice to be balanced on! Trying to prepare myself for either outcome but it's a bit mind-bending.

Sorry this happened. Hope you get the answer you want

Thanks Pat!

How did they determine you had a rare metal allergy?  I have allergies and am always worried about something like this.

It was based on a series of reactions I've had over the past couple of years. The most recent one was the one that helped narrow it down. It was to various foods that contain titanium alloys.

Well I hope they find out you can still have the surgery.  And thank you for the info.  Wishing you luck.

hope fully you get the answers you need from the tests.  Im sorry this is happening to you i wish you all the best in what ever happens.  Take care of yourself and we're all here if you need us.
