Composure symptoms and conditions

I had a Mirena placed inside me and three days later when I went back for the checkup the doctor couldn't find the strings. I had told him before he checked everything out that I couldn't feel them the day before but he said that I wasn't feeling in the right place most likely. So sure enough when he looked he said he couldn't find them. They did two ultrasounds on me and couldn't find it in my uterus. They sent me up to x-ray and by then I had lost my composure and started crying. When I got my x-rays back you could see so plainly that the Mirena was not in the right spot. It was over near my right hip bone. WAY off track. I took the x-rays back to the doctor and they booked a surgery for the next day to have it removed. I was in surgery for 3 hours total and they found it on my colon. They said it probably tore through my uterus and traveled it way all the way over there. I shouldn't known but especially the doctor should have known something was wrong when he placed it. He had to try THREE times before he got it to stay. and it was SO painful, and to think that it was going to get so much worse from there. do not get one of these. it's not worth the risk.

I had my Mirena IUD put in May 1st of 2007 and all the side effects that came along with it......the constant spotting, acne, itching breasts (which I thought was due to new bras that I had just purchased), nausea, depression (which I had to go back to taking Wellbutrin), no energy; tired all the time. My biggest side effect which I have not found any others to have is Allergies. I know it sounds crazy, but I have never had problems with allergies until a month and half after getting the IUD, extreme allergy symptoms, swollen glands, neck pain, very shortness of breath; to the point that I was down for a whole day here and there, I am having to take Allegra; had to get a steroid shot. Now that it is cold, I thought I would be getting break from the allergies, nope. I joined a gym hoping that it would help in giving me energy, nope.........I have talked to my Dr and the nurses that work with my gyno and they act as if I am making this stuff up. It is very frustrating when you know that your body has done a complete 360 in the wrong direction and everyone seems to think your crazy.

Well I am having my IUD taken out as soon as I can!

I am taking 20mgs. of Lisinopril and had no effects for the first 84 days. My blood pressure has come down dramatically. It went from 200/110 to 128/74. Not bad !! However, on day 85, I walked across a parking lot with a piece of cardboard over my head for about 600 feet, to protect myself from the rain. I got into work and sat down at my computer and about one-half hour later I got extremely dizzy and started to faint. I got down on the floor and my arms and legs went numb, almost like my circulation system was shutting down. I thought I was going to black out and go into cardiac arrest. They rushed me to the hospital and checked me out all day. They did EKG's and checked my heart enzymes. All Good. Then I was given a stress test, which also checked out Good. I still felt rather weak, but was released anyway. The same event happened 8 days later, after cutting my dosage down to 10mgs. I was moving some pallets, holding them over my head again, and experienced another event very similar. It took about 1/2 hour to pass and for me to regain my composure. I think holding my arms over my head has either fluctuated my blood pressure, or I am cutting off the circulation up in the neck area. I have had a severe neck ache lately on the back right-side. The benefits outweigh the risks as far as my blood pressure, but if I pass out swimming, driving, trimming tree branches, etc and kill myself, it is of no longer a benefit. SO, I'M WARNING ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, TO TAKE HEED, AND BE CAREFUL WITH THE ACTIVITIES YOU PARTICIPATE IN. DELAY CERTAIN THINGS UNTIL YOU ARE OFF OF THIS MEDICATION, BUT DON'T STOP ON YOUR OWN. ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN FIRST.

Also gave me the "stoned" affect during the peak of this drug. The after affects (which I'm currently in the state of) was a nose bleed, speeding (insomia, "jacked up" feeling), body fatigue, loss of appetite and short term memory loss (temporary inability to form sentence composure, forgetfulness).
