Hello!
My doctor placed Mirena and at first I felt great!!
But weeks later I started to show some symptoms...
I have had horrible headaches ( they are soo bad that I think it is migraine) in the past 2.5 months (almost every day) and my energy level is extremely low.. I am getting addicted to energy drinks since then!!
Even the smallest task such as doing laundry or a little of gardening leave me complete exhausted......... I want this thing removed. I want to be myself again!!!!!!!!

It's been one month since I have had the Mirena removed. My life has changed dramatically! The mood swings are gone, depression gone, Anxiety gone! The back pain is almost gone, joint pain gone with the exception of my left foot. The left foot still hurts occasionally at the end of the day. My blood pressure is coming down and so is my weight (very slowly). I feel like I WANT to live my life again. I don't mind going to work or doing laundry or gardening. I don't even mind going to the gym! For the last 2yrs going to the gym increased the joint pain that I was feeling.
This week I noticed that I had new hair growth. I have normally very thick hair and did not notice hair loss-now I can actually see new hair coming in around the hairline around my face. My acne is clearing up and the yellow/brown spots (age spots) are fading.
All in All, I feel so much better! so hang in there girls life gets better!!!!!

Wow, everyone, thanks for the support. Medicdad asked that I keep him posted about how I'm feeling, and this is only day two, and I hope this isn't a placebo effect, but I do feel better already. I did cry a bit yesterday, but I didn't get carried away with my thoughts or anything, and not once did I have any inclinations to harm myself. No thoughts like that came into my mind all day, and for what seems like forever they came in several times a day, even when I was "happy". Seriously, I would be doing laundry, nothing upsetting happened, and I would think about hanging myself in the garage. And who do you confide in with something like that? That is CRAZY. I feel like I have more rational thoughts and a better perspective on pretty much everything that presents itself to me, but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. As far as the asthma, I feel like I can breathe the same, even better, which seems odd, since yesterday. I do take advair, and I am hoping that will be enough. I also take zyrtec for my allergies, so hopefully those two will suffice in maintaining my quality of life in those areas. I am already planning to exercise this afternoon after work, which I think is a good sign, and could help my lung function naturally. So I hope that I can report that things are much improved after a week, like so many other people have posted.

Update since removal:
-- By i_want_me_back | Reply | Private Message meI had the Mirena removed on Saturday evening. I just wanted to report that I felt so great last night. My husband said he hadn't gotten that much affection in 3 months from me! And we didn't even have sex.. LOL! I was just in such a great mood, and had so much energy I couldn't stop cleaning and playing with my kids!
Today I'm not as ecstatic, but that may be because my daughter woke me up 6 times last night, and both my kids are sick. But the good news is, despite my difficult day, I'm not in a state of despair. Ordinarily I would be crying, or trying to have a nap while my kids are napping. Instead I am doing laundry and writing to you all.
Some bleeding last night and today, but no pain or cramping. My joints are still really sore today, but I didn't expect it to disappear overnight. I just can't believe how I'm in control of my emotions!
