TW: PMDD and SI.

I (30f) had a Mirena inserted during a lap about a month ago. I had a bad PMDD reaction to it and I want it taken out. I've been actively suicidal for about 3 weeks now.I went to a sexual health clinic today and the nurse (51 years experience fyi) couldn't find any strings.

I have also had pain and a possible UTI (definitely an infection of some kind) for about 3 weeks: low grade fever, pain, peeing constantly. The nurse said it's possible that the mirena could be causing those issues, so I called my gynae consultant and left a message with the secretary but I haven't heard back. I'm seeing my GP today about antibiotics.

I was booked an appointment for them to try again in a month, but with my PMDD symptoms I really need this thing out asap. I'm also pretty concerned that they can't find the string. I tried having one before and my body expelled it- that definitely hasn't happened this time (I'd have seen it come out I'm sure). I wasn't really able to tolerate a speculum full stop (trauma, endo, adeno) so I'm fucking terrified for when the next doctor is fucking rummaging around my vagina...

If they can't find it, or I can't cope with the pain of them looking, what happens next??

Has anyone been through this?

Has anyone in the UK managed to get a hysterectomy without a diagnosis of anything? I technically have a PMDD diagnosis, but nobody seems to care about that. I had a lap for the apparently stage 4 endo that showed on an MRI and was told they found nothing. I have bowel issues, bladder issues, a numb leg on one side that doesn't even have reflexes anymore, my weight keeps ballooning, I'm off work and about to get the chop, and I haven't stopped bleeding for 7 months. To top it off I felt coerced into getting a Mirena during my lap which has sent my PMDD into overdrive so now apparently that's the cause of the bleeding even though I've only had it a month out of the seven I've bled for.

All I want is a hysterectomy to end the complete insanity in my head with the PMDD and to stop bleeding but apparently nothing is wrong with me and I might decide to have kids (I'm 31, married, together 12 years, don't want kids) and they won't even consider it.

Has anyone managed it???

My mini, Violet, has been on a bland diet for a week or so following a spay and a nasty bout of HGE. We've noticed that since she's been on it, her coat feels softer, her breath is much better, she generally stinks less, and she's got more energy.

She's on white fish, chicken, rice and egg. Does anyone have info/ideas for what I'd need to add to her diet to make it nutritionally complete? Can I do this in a healthy way for her?

I had my lap 3 weeks ago, and have just started having UTI symptoms. I'm a bit feverish, sore tummy, burns when I pee, and peeing blood. My mum gets UTIs all the time, I've only had one before, but it's a pretty textbook case.

However, I can't get to a doctor until Tuesday (it's Saturday night here) because it's a bank holiday weekend. I don't drive so I can only get to A&E via ambulance. I don't want to be a drama queen. Should I tough this out work the sachet meds, or bite the bullet and call 111?
