Not great really. Brain fog, bodily inflammation, raging tinnitus, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, inability to make decisions forgetfullness, all sorts
Tbh I wouldn't have posted if you hadn't asked as I don't like to write stuff that is so negative.
I've got myself in a right state about having this titanium in my jaw and I can't tell if it's a real fear of psychosomatic.
I now realise that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 12 years ago which is the same time as I had my first implant put in, co-incidence or not ? Who knows. Over the years my symptoms have been so bad I have asked to be tested for Rhumatoid arthritis a few times as I couldn't believe IT was just (that's a laugh ) Fibro.
I have spoken to a couple of dentists and whilst they don't believe people can be allergic to titanium per say there is now a kind of recognised hypersensitivity to having multipule metals in the mouth, that only affects a few people my dentist has someone with 18 implants and he is fine apparently.
They have kind of agreed to take them out which would mean a denture, but that would be a lot better than ending up with some auto immune problem. Dentist said having a denture winks affect my quality of life, I pointed out that I haven't got any with this.
I am also worried that if my immune system is fighting all these metals then at some point I might end up with an auto immune condition as it will be under such stress.
I had them take of the bridge and use a temporary and this means my saliva is more in contact with the metals and my symptoms have gone through the roof and my mouth is in discomfort.
huge patches of what seems like inflammation over my body, massive anxiety, metallic taste in mouth, soared throat etc
I do wonder if I am suffering from some kind of metal toxicity problem which is scary. Both now and the thought that I may have had this all the time but just put my symptoms down to something else.
Last year when the final three went in I had huge swathes of pain round my hip area and I just though my Fibro was playing up bug it was the worst if had ever been. I also had the most dreadful urine infection and I hadn't had one for 30 years.
Please God, whoever you are, let me not be suffering from metal poisoning,.
I'm pretty scared tbh as if I leave them in its a risk and if I take them out its traumatic and my mouth and sinuses, not that they are great anyway, will never be the same again.
I'm part of a small support group that has similar problems that also includes those tang have metal in their backs, neck plates etc often more than one metal is involved in their cases. It helps a bit.
