Video link symptoms and conditions

I'm so glad I decided to visit this site today. After reading the post by christinaf (8-28-09), I decided that I too would research IUD self removal. I've been wanting mine out forever and I had made an appt this past January to remove it. My ob, however, talked me into keeping it because I've been wanting my tubes tied and she wants me to wait a little longer to think about it... so until then she wanted me to keep the IUD. Anyways, after deciding not to spend the money with Planned Parenthood I've been seriously thinking of removing my own for several months. I read christina's post and afterwards searched IUD self removal. I found a site ****** where there was a video link instructing on IUD removal. The video can be accessed by going to ****** After watching the video, I realized just how easy this would be and decided to give it a try. Sure enough, once I located the strings all I had to do was pull and it took about 10 seconds of gentle pulling and OUT it came!! I'm so relieved.... I cannot wait to see the expression on my ob's face when she learns what I've done. No more pushy pep talks about how "wonderful" this device is and "what a great decision keeping it is because it's reversible." I'm thinking of searching for an ob who will do the Essure product... no hormones and it's permanent!
Finally, I'm going to go back to being a WOMAN!! I can't wait to have my first REAL period, it's been a year!

I have been taking Zocor for 6 months. In the past 3 weeks I have developed intense tingling and burning in both legs from my feet to my knees. I also have a feeling of numbness in my right foot that at times is in the whole ball of my foot but will move to the side of the ball of my foot. I have been to the ER twice and all my neuro checks were normal even though my legs felt like they were on fire. I just this past week had a MRI of cervical and lumbar spine. My doctor is thing the symptoms may be related to the significant arthritis I have in my neck and may be due to nerve compression at one of the discs but I don't think so. I was worried about MS and Guillian Barre as these can be symptoms of those diseases as well but I didn't have any other symptoms of those diseases. At my last ER visit the doctor put me on Neurotin for the burning in my legs. I just happened to think to look on line for med interactions and side effects of the meds I am on and would have never expected that Zocor could be the culprit. I was astounded to find that the tingling and burning was more than likely due to the zocor. I stopped taking it about 4 days ago and am showing some improvement but I am still taking the neurotin. Does anyone know how long it takes Zocor to get completely out of your syste.? I also have nerve conduction studies scheduled.
