Cf symptoms and conditions

Hi Guys

I had the Mirena fitted 9th May 2008

I had it fitted because I have two kids, one with CF so had decided that was me finished, and they said I was too young for sterilization (29 I don't think so), So we agreed on the Mirena

It has been the worst decision ever, I have suffered from the thing was put in.

I had discomfort pain with insertion but not too bad, but felt really faint and dizzy like the whole day, just had to go to bed!

So then I bled non stop for 6 weeks, the bleeding stopped a few days before my 6 week checkup which showed everything was fine and it was in the correct position.

My symptoms include:
Extremely oily skin, especially on my face
Spots!!! aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Hot flushes and generally hot all of the time
Tired all of the time no matter how much sleep I get
Lack of concentration, really bad even when I try to concentrate mind just clouds
Dizziness and faintness feeling
Much hungrier and crave chocolate all the time
I suffer from heartburn always but it has gotten worse
I have pain in my lower back every morning
I have had this thing in for 14 weeks and I have had 7 bouts of thrush, it just won't go away
And my sinuses are so well blocked I feel like someone has poured concrete into my head, my ears are blocked my nose everything it's terrible

Anyhow, sorry for the long rant!, I'm having this thing removed on Friday (22nd August 2008) I really hope things improve quickly

It took me quite a while to realize maybe it was the coil, although hubby said all along it was the mirena!!

I will let you all know how it goes

To be honest, both myself and both my kids have been on singulair for 10+ years and it has been a godsend blessing. My daughter was tested for CF -twice-as an infant before starting all the asthma meds, including singulair. My son is finally able to get off Advair but continues to take Singulair to keep off the other meds. ANY med can have side effects and not all meds are ment for all people. Some meds can cause severe reaction just from the binders used in the med or when combined with other meds. And in case you think I'm crazy and don't know about meds- My son is an EMT/Firefighter and I am an ICU nurse.

DANGEROUS LUNG INFECTIONS FOR CF

I took 3 Sudafed in a 24 hour period (no other medications) and the following day was unable to urinate. Later minimally, then returned to normal. A week later I took 3 doses of cough medicine CF with pseudoehpedrine and had the same side effect. I couldn't urinate any faster than a leaky faucet. I can find no other occurances of this or similar side effects.
