Cooperative symptoms and conditions

just had mine out today...mirena that is...and i had all if not more side effects and complaint you ladies have, so i am hoping for the best! i am tirred of this rollercoster of emotions, mood wings, weight loss, hair loss, sexual loss, depression, pelvic pains, constant nuasuea, headaches, the non stop bleeding for 5 months then nothing, joint and leg pain, and all the tests they did to tell me i was fine and nothing wrong....

@ipj:

Thanks for your immediate answer.

Those are symptoms I'm also experiencing......

But here in Germany it's so hard to get a magnesium test (and even some other tests) done. Everything seems to expensive to test for our docs here and so they refuse them... But after reading your posts and the result of your magnesium test I think I should at least ask or beg my doc again, if he perhaps could do that test... I feel that there has to be something still not ok, even being off Yasmin for about 2 years now....

Everytime I got a cold or I got my period I'm feeling worse again, and this time I fear it's gotten very bad... So there has to be still a lack of something in my body which gets out of balance when the slightest change in my body is happening (as my period or a heavy cold with loosing lots of sweat because of the fever, and so on....).

Thank you so much again ipj for sharing your story!!!
Perhaps my doc gets a bit more cooperative if he hears, that there is really someone whose magnesium test came back much too low......

I read everyones posts above and have the opposite comment regarding my child. He is three years old and has been on Singulair for about five days now for chronic sinus infections. He is typically a moster, very difficult to deal with, very negative, etc - similar to the negative side effects listed by parents whose children are on Singulair. Since he's been on the medication, he has been very cooperative, happy, ready to learn new things, etc - a complete opposite of what he was pre-medication. He has also been sleeping very well and deeply through the night. I searched the internet trying to find alternate uses for Singulair and haven't found any. Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if there's a sort of anti-depressant or mood elevating component to it?
