Re: Tactics for making a doctor do a silicone test please!

HI ClareBear. Did you have any luck getting your silicone levels tested?
I'm also in the UK & trying to find a doctor that will refer me for silicone testing.
I had the mirena fitted almost 2 years ago & a month later my health deteriorated very quickly.
As a result I've been completely housebound for over a year & a half. I have constant joint pain, great difficulty walking with burning & tingling from the top of both legs down to my feet continuously. Along with all the other classic symptoms associated with silicone poisoning . I'm having my coil removed on Thursday & I'm really hoping I don't go through the Mirena crash. My life has literally become a living hell. Does anyone know where I can be tested in the UK or if there's a lab online that I I can send a blood sample too? I'd really appreciate any help.
