Allergic to latex symptoms and conditions

I have been on Mirena since April 2009. At first I thought it was the only form of birth control that I could be on since every other form that I have tried caused me to have anxiety attacks. Recently I've been noticing that I get really dizzy, get frequent headaches, have a hard time focusing, "fly off the hinges" about anything. I also feel weak, have no energy, have muscles aches, and the worst part is I'm always tired & Im only 22 years old. I'm sick of feeling like this! I made an appointment with my OBGYN to get it removed because I believe that I may be allergic to all forms of birth control because of the hormones used in them. The office nurse told me that my OBGYN will probably try & put me on some other kind of birth control, or see how he feels about it being removed, but Im going to tell him I want it removed ASAP. All birth control causes me to have problems so the only form of birth control I plan on being on is a condom! At least I know I'm not allergic to latex. I hate Mirena & regret ever getting it! DO NOT USE!

I am very confused now what to do. I came to my computer because I have been so emotional lately I cry at everything. Commercials, songs, I mean EVERYTHING. Tonight I started crying and couldn't stop. I have NEVER been this depressed in my life. I thought maybe it was the weather, the change of life ( I got married May 31st) I admit that probably has something to do with it, but there is no reason to cry at everything. I haven't been feeling very well lately but did not contribute it to the mirena at all. Now I'm not sure. I got the mirena in June 2007. It was painful to put in for me but I have not had a child so it did hurt but I knew it would. Before I got it put in I did so much research, talked to the Dr. I work for, women at work who had one and the gyno that put it in. All had good things to say, it sounded perfect because I am bad at taking pills, allergic to latex and had horrible reactions to the NuvaRing so there isn't a whole lot left. At first things were good, I had messed up periods but nothing bad so I just coped. I have been feeling nausea, ab pain, cramps, pain in my sides and back, dizziness, bloating, the belly "pooch" , hair loss, acne, no sex drive, just really run down and so emotional. I have been contributing it to everything I could think of and didn't even consider the mirena for causing those symptoms until I saw this site. I really don't know what to do though because my husband and I are not ready for a child but I can't really use anything else. I want to give it more time because its so easy but I don't know if I or my husband can take these emotions. I really am crying over everything. I know these symptoms are rare and supposed to lessen but I can't put up with this much longer i don't know what to do. If anyone has feel like they got over these or they just get worse or if you recommend I remove them please let me know. Thank You

Here's my history of birth control:

Started with Yaz when I got married. Had fantastic periods and great sex drive but it made me really sick and crazy hormonal. Had to stop it because I was getting migraines a few times a week.

Switched to condoms for a while, but found out I'm allergic to latex. Switched to the (expensive) lambskin condoms but still experienced some discomfort.

Switched to the nuvaring 3 months ago. I've had fantastic periods, no cramping, no headaches, etc...but the darn thing won't stay in this month! It slips down about every hour no matter what I do. I also have ZERO sex drive, and I've been experiencing numbing in my arms/hands.

Well crap, what am I supposed to try now? The pull-out method? Pills are out, condoms are out, nuvaring is out, mirena is out (haven't had a baby yet so I'm not a candidate. Maybe God's telling me that I'm supposed to have a baby?

Ugh. It's all so upsetting.

Where to start! I started Yasmin in Sept. of 2005. So I've been on it 2 and a half years. Things were fine for a while. It did what it was supposed to do, including no weight gain. That's how its been marketed here, so that's why i got it. Nothing has happened all of a sudden. Its all creeped up on me very slowly. Headaches, pressure in my sinuses, tiredness...all pretty simple. But here's the thing. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and put on Prozac. The Prozac didnt help. I came off it. Now here's the more troubling symptoms I've experienced. Heart Palpitations, squeezing in my chest making it hard to breathe, increased fear and anxiety (which cause heart attack-like symptoms which can more commonly be described as a panic attack). I've had my finger on the 911 buttons several times in the last 8 months. Now I'm discovering the joy of incontinence. Do you have any idea what its like to be in the store buying groceries and then all of a sudden there's a puddle of number 2 around your shoe? I do. I'm 23. Abdominal pain, stomach distension, constipation followed by diarrhea. Hair loss. Cold feet. LOSS OF SEXUAL DRIVE! My God!

I've said all this to my doctor. He ran blood for everything, there's nothing wrong with me medically. X-rays, mri's, cat scans, ekg's. Nothing nothing nothing. I changed doctors and told the new doctor my story. He figures that because i was put on Prozac for depression, that I must have developed Hypochondria (aka extreme paranoia and a belief that I'm terminally ill). Not true, I know its not terminal, i just need to be put on a new pill. My husband and I have regular sex, he's allergic to latex, and even those non-latex condoms. We're not ready for babies yet, so I dont know what to do. But if this helps someone else, then taking the time to write this was worth it. And as a side note, if you're on the pill and have the choice, and your doc wants to put you on prozac...Don't do it. Try switching your pill first.

I have been experiencing a lot of numbness in my arms and hands over the last few months. I ignored it for awhile but decided I definitely should speak to my doctor about it so I am going this afternoon. It only just dawned on me a few days ago that the numbness might be related to the NuvaRing. I think I have been on it about 5 months.

Has anyone else experienced numbness in their arms and hands?
