Silicone problem from Mirena??
Hi.
Wow where to start! I have Lyme disease and alot of the symptoms are the same as silicone poisioning!
But today I learned I am allergic to my contact lenses. Which makes no sense to me. So after some digging,... silicone autoimmune issues make perfect sense. I have an IUD by mirena in for a year now(this is my second)
I have a strong family hx of autoimmune diseases.
My symptoms
FATIGUE
muscle,joint, nerve pain
headaches
chronic fevers (daily) up to 102
nausea
vision problems
to name a few
My bloodwork shows hig SED rate and off the charts CRP, positive ANA (mild)
Thinking about having formed antibodies against silicone, would explain the sudden allergy to my contacts.
it would explain many things.
I am calling my PCP and I already have an appointment withan allergist/immunologist
What do I ask for? Silicone ab IgM/IgG??
so I will get tested with the dumb mirena in. Then get it taken out. then what do I do? i want to keep it as evidence b/c if the stupid thing has caused all this someone is going to be held responsible.
