Hi Malea- I used a copper IUD for 10 years or so, not knowing of my lyme or metal sensitivities..it was a huge mistake. I bled for months at a time for years and had severe cramping throughout the whole time, and ended up needing a cystectomy after I had it removed surgically..which is the only way they remove it. I'm sorry you and your husband have had to make this decision, it must have been very difficult and my heart goes out to you both. Your love and passion for each other is what will get you through this, hold on tightly to it and never let each other go..love conquers all. Research each method of birth control as best as you can and make an informed decision..I know that birth control pills make you susceptible to yeast, as do antibiotics, so that might not be the best choice..do what you're comfortable with. You're both in my thoughts and prayers..blessings to you both. peace-kim All of my advice comes from research and personal experience. I strongly suggest that you each check with your doctor for approval before changing or adding anything to your treatment.
Peace . . . starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness. For some of us, the most effective way to do so is through religious practice. For others it may be non-religious practices. What is important is that we each make a sincere effort to take our responsibility for each other and for the natural environment we live in seriously.
