I had to have blood drawn at hospital and then they had to send it in the box and with paperwork that Melissa test site had given me. I was never allowed to have the blood in my possession.
Please read the titanium forum that explains what we have all been going through. I had to have the test done, but many people do not have to go through that expense now that they have the web site to confirm that their illness from titanium is real. some people also react the nickel.
Here is to better days, once you get this taken care of.

I had have dull headaches in one of my crowned tooth for at least 2 years. Tired of the pain and headaches and I removed and have titanium implant installed about a month ago.
My headaches got even worse and have inflammation on my adjacent tooth.
I asked my periodentist if it's possible that I am allergic to the post metal. He said it's impossible...
He is the one who said my dull pain would be taken care of 100% if I do implant. Human nature is...if you are ignorant about something, you dismiss it and tend to ignore.
I am tired of arguing with my dentists and doctors. I know something is wrong after the metal post and I am planning to do Melisa test next week. Just need to find out where I need to go to do the test.
There is no official implant failure case due to "allergic reaction to metals"??? Really?
I find it pretty odd that all of these people are having these same side effects and the only people saying there is no way it can be caused from the Titanium are the doctors on the site. Imagine that....
What kind of problems? Mine started with a cottony sensation in my mouth - mainly on my tongue. I had plenty of saliva - dry mouth was not the problem. Over a period of a year it got worse to the point where my tongue was burning. At first the dentist didn't tell me anything about the cement having acrylic in it. Finally after I asked him point blank he admitted it had acrylic. He STILL denied that the acrylic could be causing the problem though. I couldn't get any other detists to take the veneers out either. I was finally able to get them removed after having them in for 2 years. I myself wrote to the maker of the cement - Kurrary- and they admitted that their veneer cement has caused allergic reactions. This was after a year with many dentists telling me that it was not possible. But now my tongue is still super sensitive and I still have problems. I have spent $20,000 getting crowns and bridges to replace the veneers. I also found out that lithium disilicate ceramics burn my tongue.
Find out what the ceramic and what the cement are. Write to the companies that made those products and ask if anyone has reported an adverse reaction. You can also look that up on the FDA MAUDE website.
I had a Titanium implant on my elbow on 6-27-12 and have been sick eversince. Rash around my neck/chest and chronic fatigue, food allergies. Drs are just now excepting that I might be allergic to the metals. Going to have the Melisa test tomorrow. I've every test that you can think of without results.
I had veneers placed in 2009 and have been having problems ever since. Unfortunately no one wants to believe me. Where do i go for answers a dr? a dentist?
