Event Description
I had a titanium breast clip inserted into a lump.It was benign so i never had it removed.Extreme pain started within a week, angioedema and hives and hair loss started within 6 months.No dr could determine what was wrong and diagnosed arthritis and chronic idiopathic urticaria.I started xolair injections and pain management.I finally discovered i was allergic to titanium and had a lumpectomy (b)(6) 2019.All symptoms are gone and i finally feel alive again.I have exact dates and medical records to show my claim.I am concerned that these clips are general practice and i wonder how many other women are suffering.I have switched to titanium free toothpaste and no longer have sensitive teeth and i switched to titanium free sunscreen, makeup and soap and no long break out in the sun! fda safety report id # (b)(4).
