Morning everyone,
I've turned to this board because quite frankly I have no idea what to do. After meeting with a new consultant on February 17th a new treatment plan was put in place. This consisted of; Try to put the mirena back in using a local anesthetic (4th attempt). If that worked great if not 6 months down the line starting hormone treatment with a view to having a hysterectomy.
April 1st I went in to have my mirena put in with help from a local. This was unsuccessful as the pain was still excruciating. I was then told well just have it done via a general - as if being knocked out is commonplace!!!!
It has taken from that day until today to actually get to speak to my consultant who now basically states that I have the choice of a mirena via a general (which I think will fall out again, after 4 attempts something tell me my body doesn't want it) or nothing as now he doesn't think I am mentally suitable for a hysterectomy (because I am scared of the general and the time off it will require).
So I am after advice from you all. What do I do, just have the mirena via a general (I have another condition called EDS which affects anesthetic as well btw) or do I push for the hormones with view to a hysterectomy in 6/8 months time.
Thanks in advance.
