Hi everyone! I posted on June 27th about the Mother Goose looking doctor and not having sex a week prior to getting your Evil Thing (ET) removed. Well, I just wanted to post once more to say that I did get it out the following Monday, which was almost a week ago. I'll spare you all the details about the incompetencies of my doctor's office not having my appointment on the books and my doctor yet again going off to deliver another baby and the amount of time I had to wait for her to return. The point is that she did come and she did take it out. The other thing I'd like to mention is that unlike Mother Goose, my doc said that of course the ET was causing my cramps and they should certainly go away as soon as it was removed. She then said that as far as my other symptoms were concerned the best she could figure (after she bluntly asked if I was depressed) was that because I had been on the pill so long that I had not had any real PMS symptoms and now I was having them and just didn't recognize that. Ok, again I'm 31 and yes I do look a bit younger than that, but I promise you I'm actually a bit wiser than that. Although that was not the craziest thing I had heard during this ordeal, (please see my Mother Goose post) it was a bit on the ridiculous side because I did in fact have a whole lotta PMS while I was on pills and I certainly know what PMS is and how to recognize it! Also, who has PMS everyday, which is essentially what my doc saying although I doubt if she realized it. I said nothing, but just waited for her to be done with her defense of this piece of crap she recommended I put in my body. She also had no explanation for my bladder issues and offered no concern or way to fix it nor did she address my discomfort and at times pain during sex. She just stood after she was done dismissing the list of symptoms I had written down for her and accusingly told me that she warned me that women who had not given birth often had problems with the Evil Thing. Actually, what she told me was that I was a great candidate for the Evil Thing and that women who had not given birth only experience more pain/discomfort with insertion. I remember this very clearly. Again, I do not care--just get on with it and get it out!! She did and now I have to say I am finally me again. The next day even I could tell a difference--that little black cloud wasn't following me around anymore. Each day that passes I feel a little less like I might impulsively quit my job or beat the crap out of some innocent bystander for no apparent reason. I've even had sex--because I wanted to--and it felt like it used to, not at all uncomfortable or painful. I no longer have any cramps at all--that was an immediate relief and overall I can tell it's just not there anymore, just no longer present in my body. My face is still full of acne, but fewer new breakouts. You can put food in front of me and I eat like a normal person and not like some starved refugee. I still have some bladder issues, but again as time passes I can tell that it is improving. I think with a little more time I'll be back to 100% and I'll just look back on this as a little hitch--a mistake I made when I started going to a new doctor's office. BTW, I don't plan on going back there at all. I've been to that office 5 times and seen 4 different doctors in a four month span. I've also decided that the next time someone asks me if I want a foreign object placed in my body, I think I'll just say No Thanks! Take care everyone and best of luck with your Evil Thing.
