Re: the name of the silicone test, neurologist, MRI

I have a good feeling (for a change) about all the evidence we are collecting. All devices malfunction, so why not some of the 1000's of Mirenas they place??

fabteach--both my primary and my gyn. said it wasn't the Mirena, but that is because they believe what the drug reps say and don't even look up the known side effects reported by Mirena. I thought it was great birth control for the first 2 years and even recommended it to people! Ugh, how stupid. But as more and more things went wrong, I knew it was Mirena. I was reluctant to have it out because I'd paid $700 for it and I need really good bc because our son had med. problems and I couldn't risk it. So I left the posion in WAY too long. But there were signs at 14 months after I got it. I had the second migraine of my life right when I was finishing nursing. The first was the DAY I had the depo provera shot back in the 90's. My body just doesn't like this fake stuff. (BTW, are you a teacher?)

Proudmama--what as the name of your silicone test? This one is for antibodies. I'm worried I won't find a lab to do it even though the Dr. ordered it.

I do have my Mirena, by the way. Since the surgery was the 3rd time they went looking for it, I'd told them I wanted it in my hand in a jar when I woke up, and they were kind enough to do that for me. Tweet
