I never thought about the side effects of mirena. I had mine in over 4 yrs. and now I've realized the maybe everything that I've been going through could be because of it. I've been depress, moody, in pain all over and I feel like no doctor knows what is going on with me. I have gain a lot of weight, I'm heavier now than I was at 9 months pregnant. I'm a 36 year old married mother of four, my youngest is five now. My main concern is that lately, I've been feeling this terrible pain on my upper back and neck. I feel my bones crack with every movement, they crack even when I breath. A few weeks ago I went to the doctor and she order an x-ray of my neck and it showed some deterioration of the bones. I've been so worried, even thinking that it could be cancer or something. Now after finding this website I am wondering if it could be the Mirena.

Have taken Fosomax for almost 2 years due to "some thinning" in hip and family history (mother has osteoporosis and is on Fosomax). In past 6 months to a year, have started experiencing unexplained bruising on hips and thighs and buttocks (when I know I haven't bumped into anything), pain in my knees, hips, right wrist, hand and elbow (the most severe), right shoulder, and the bottom of my feet, difficulty and pain standing and walking after getting out of bed or out of a chair, very stiff and painful knees after bending or squatting, sleep disturbance, acid reflux, occasional sudden dizzy spells for no apparent reason, ongoing weight gain especially in upper and lower abdomen, fatigue, shortness of breath (which I thought was due to the extra fat around my middle, but who knows?). I am only 53 and take no other prescription medicines, and am otherwise healthy. I have my annual physical in a few days and am stopping the Fosomax to see if the pain and other symptoms subside.

okay, I was on and off the depo provera for about 6 years. I have been in for a bone density screening and theres no trace of osteopenia. I have however been to the dentist many many times. At first I had 17 cavities, all along the gumline and just below it. About a year ago, I had another bunch, didn't count that time, which I had filled and I had two teeth removed. Luckily molars so you cant tell. I just went back two days ago and I have 6 now. I brush twice a day and floss. I also have a tooth thats really sensitive because the gumline receded. I am tired of this and it almost seems like my dentist is afraid to tell me anything but "make sure you floss and brush regularly." I think when the FDA really discovers what depo does to the teeth, maybe we can get a lawsuit and make pfizer pay for real nice implants....
