Tips to lower nickel burden?

I posted a few weeks ago. I have nickle allergy and I am stuck with gallbladder clips ( for now) that pushed my burden over.

I have already seen skin improvement going low nickle diet (I also have gastroparesis because of all this do I can only eat easy to digest crabs)

I have stopped wearing my make up, reduced and changed my body care products. No nail polish. No jewelry. I’m down to the basics for daily living haha

Anything else important or any tips from anyone who still checks here on how to reduce the burden. Anything I’m forgetting? Any tips? I also have mcas so I’m allergic to literally everything right now since it won’t calm down because of all this. So I really can’t even use products or vitamins or eat healthy foods bc histamine. But I’m open to any suggestions for this long term journey

The nickel mark on my back from the skin testing is still raging and won’t go away despite steriod cream for 3 weeks now and oral steriods.

Worse mcas after gallbladder removal w clips and nickel allergy

I unknowingly had mcas/histamine issues for atleast thr last 11 years that I noticed symptoms. Things picked up with my pregnancies. After my second pregnancy I likely was having mcas but no one knew what was making me so sick so they took my gallbladder.

It’s been 13 months of a nightmare. I have collected more diagnosis than help—- Gastroparesis (severe), POTs started in pregnancy, SIBO, MCAS, and I have mold exposure when all this started. Likely connective tissue issue.

Yesterday I found out I have a nickle allergy and everyone’s says there no way the clips are causing the issue. I’ve never had rashes w my mcas till immediately after removal. I only ever had them when reacting to medications (nsaid, lamisil, progesterone, estrogen, HGH). I am flushed and covered in rashes and rosacea day and night now. Eating only bread makes it calm down. I am reacting to everything-sun, heat, cold, showers, food, smells, medicines, lack of sleep, stress, all my make up, I had to stop dying my hair. All this started after the surgery.

Does anyone else have this experience with metal and metal allergies and/or your mcas.

I have failed all medications. I get reactions to everything. I did good on Ketotifen for 7 days then on day 7 I took the whole .25 (in liquid with only water to stabilize it) and had full body chills insomnia urinating and itching w no rash. My pcp wants me to try the glp1. I already have gastroparesis so tbd if this is a good idea or not. But the metal has to be causing some sort of issue bc nothing was this bad until then. I never had gastroparisis either until then. I had a c section and gallbladder removal all within 6 months. Or did too many surgery’s post partum already having mcas really get me to such a bad place. Or am i being gaslight by doctors that the clips aren’t doing this. My first allergic reaction was 2 days post removal….

Ticket SMARTER scam

I have been trying to get Noah kahan tickets that sold out super fast months ago. Super early in the morning yesterday I googled to see if any tickets popped up. Just like I did the night before. Somehow I got tricked into the ticket SMARTER scam. Looks just like ticket master. It said it had some tickets so like everyone else I thought more were released. As they were mostly side stage and nose bleeds in Philly.

I bought a pair and the fake insurance and when the confirmation email came that’s when they change format and no longer look like ticket MASTER and the fear kicked in. To make it worse now when i google they don’t even pop up anymore.

I tried to call and fight it but I’m stuck. So I may or may not have resale tickets. Don’t even have seat numbers. The email says tickets can come same day of event or NEXT day. And now I am seeing people may have trouble using the transfer tickets since it’s not even legal in my state and this artist won’t allow it. Couldn’t imagine this story getting worse until I don’t get in w a transfer ticket bar code or I don’t get my money back in a few weeks.

Has anyone ever used ticket smarter and it actually worked out ?—- like any hope to actually get the tickets?

Editing to add quick I did pay w credit card. I called immediately but bc it was a pending charge they can’t just cancel it. The fraud dept couldn’t do anything. I have to let the charge go through and then dispute it. So I’m kind of looking for is there any hope I actually get to go or do I just have to fight to get my money back AND be depressed I’m not going lol ticket smarter seems to wipe a lot of their stuff and comments from people offline. So there’s like no positive stories. Only a few negative comments.
