Hi All,

I'm reaching out to others experiencing the same effects I've been having with the copper coil.

I got the copper coil in may last year. I had it removed last week. So after having it in for 6/7 months, i felt a complete change in me, the past 6 weeks before removal i still feel, lost, down, overthinking, thinking too much, so anxious and just not like me at all. i have my two young daughters and its not fair on them that i am not feeling like me.

i have read so much about copper toxicity, and its angers me that when you speak to a doctor they say the same thing, the copper coil has not hormones so it cant possibly be the cause. However it seems that it is. I just want to know if anyone else is feeling/did feel like this and if so what can i do? how long does it last? im hoping now the coil is out i will start to feel like me again.
