Thank you for the reply and the welcome, kiwi33.
I have blood test results from last year but not sure where in all of the tests it would show the blood metal ion levels. I see a rheumatologist in 3 weeks for an initial appointment, this for the wrist and tendon (Tenosynovitis, de Quervain) issues I'm experiencing. I am pretty sure he will be asking for blood tests then.
Is there a thread more appropriate to my health concerns that this should move to?
Thank you for the input.
