I have had my our for 1-1/2 yrs. I kept getting persistent uti's and one turned into a kidney infection. Co-worker asked if it could be the our, only reason I thought of it. I owe her. Just worried about this crash I am hearing about. For some people it lasts 4 years. So depressing to think about. Do you have any tips or steps you think I should take to prevent any more problems. I removed it 3 days ago and started with the headache today and bleeding. I would appreciate the support and advice.
