I'm feeling rubbish today, and have done for a few weeks, and am wondering if it could be down to copper toxicity from the copper coil I've recently had fitted. I'd previously been on the pill, then the Mirena which didn't suit me at all (hormones give me all the side effects.)
I'm also vegetarian and according to the info I've found, this makes me far more susceptible to copper toxicity. The symptoms of hair loss, fatigue, bloating, mild depression all seem to fit and my lower abdomen is really aching today despite my period not being due for weeks.
It's so frustrating, I just something that works without all of this. Don't know whether to give it another few weeks or get it taken out asap.
