Brittle nails symptoms and conditions

I had twins 17 months ago and at my six week check up...EVERYBODY highly encouraged me to get the Mirena inserted.
I did, after having read the literature in the Doctor's office. What the Lit doesn't tell you is how MESSED up Mirena makes you feel.
My blood pressure stayed elevated, I did not have spotting or bleeding...oh no...I had no sign ever of a period...but the PMS symptoms were severe enough that I honestly thought I was suicidal. I was depressed, severely, my hair came out, my legs cramped and had numbness, hair grew on my face (I am only 30), I had terrible headaches, brittle nails...
Finally, I told my doctor I thought it was the Mirena, they laughed it off and said it was just in my mind, that no one has ever complained about these things before...That perhaps I was just naturally depressed...
Well, It has been a month since I forced them to remove it...Guess what?
I can tell that I don't have that chemical effecting me like it was when it was in me...Face, clear...Hair, not coming out...mood, elevated...I actually feel NORMAL now. I would have never gotten this if I had known these side effects were possible.

Found this site and read the postings for the first time today. I cried when I read the first posting because it was as though I had written it myself. I have experienced so many of the negative side effects such as, depression, apathy, loss of sex drive, crying almost every day, anger for no reason, pain, and more. I am 38 years old and have been using the ring for almost 2 years. I took it out today as soon as I finished reading other's experiences. I am looking forward to being my "old" self soon, and I know my husband and children are too.
Maybe the side effects are worse for women in their 30's and 40's versus 20's. Not everyone posted their age but I was curious regarding this possibility.
