Nickel alergy(allergy)

by jenny34, Apr 12, 2008 11:58PM
For many years I have had conjuctivitis but just recently I have done skin test and found out I am very much allergic to nickel.Just few times in 10 years i had rush in my body but my big concern are my itchy and red eyes.My doctor gave me a list of things I should avoid and prescribed me a barrier cream.Now it is up to me to find natural cosmetics especially face make up(maskara,eyeliner) because i think that may be the biggest cause which triggers the allergy.Are you familiar with some natural metal free products that I can use and is it advisable to take some extra vitamins(C + B) to help imunity system resisting the allergy?I am grateful for any additional advice you may have, thank you
kind regards

Jenny-  I started ot with a allergy to nickle 40 years ago and over the past two years I have had a nightmare with dental work and sever GI problems that turned out to be a sever allergy to cobalt used in the metal base in a cap on my tooth and a positive reaction to the "silver" almagam in 12 fillings (put in over my lifetime).  I don't know that there would be a link for you but please request a sample of the dentist and have a patch test done before you have dental work done.  I hope I can save you the nighmare I went through.
