I have a copper IUD, inserted 1999. I've had problems with yeast infections, IC, diabetes like symptoms, anxiety, itching, hives, generally miserable and many other problems for the past 6 years. My OBGYN doesn't think the problem is my IUD. I do think that is the problem as we have pretty much exhausted all other likelihoods. I am waiting to switch doctors again. This will be the 7th one I've seen in the last 8 years. I am not getting any relief and am frustrated with the medical community.
Recently, I've been doing my own research on the web and came across some pages about copper allergies and IUD's. I am now convinced, after much reading, this is the problem that I have and why nothing else has worked for me. I'm to the point where I can barely function from day to day. Nothing is working. My life is falling apart. I want to take the damn thing out myself, instead of waiting 2 wks to get my 1st appt. and then going thru it all again and waiting for him to diagnose. Any help here?
