First birthday symptoms and conditions

My son was given Omnicef to treat an ear infection one day before his first birthday in 2003. The next morning after his first dose he woke up covered from head to toe in a horrible rash. His eyes were swollen almost completely shut, and he was "zoned" out. He obviously was in lots of pain and very cranky and couldn't sleep. We took him to the ER twice, first time the doctor said he must be allergic to the Omnicef but isn't experiencing any discomfort. Several hours later, well after midnight, he still was very cranky and couldn't sleep and we took him back to the ER where the doctor gave him an injection of Benadryl. My son from that point was very "difficult", horrible melt-downs, no eye-contact, no communication, except for his violent melt-downs. This lasted for years.

In June 07 I rushed into having the coil fitted, having had a double rollover with two beautiful babies successively, only 13 months apart. No 2 baby had his first birthday end-Mar 08 and as I was no longer breastfeeding I suppose I began to stop making "new baby" excuses for my moods, brain fog, lower back pain, extreme fatigue, irritability if not getting a nap in the day even though had good 8 hrs sleep on night and weight gain (dress size).

Over the last few months I have gone on to experience severe PMS symptoms (which I didn't have prior to coil), clearly a build up within the body for not being able to bleed regularly. These included crying spells (for no reason), feeling very flat/exhausted almost like "out of body" old woman (I'm 33) and feeling bloated/pregnant - they would last roughly two weeks and then I would get a day's bleed which explained the cause. I even took a pregnancy test although it was negative. For me the final straw has been the onset of migraines (a year on) lasting several days and just being constant.

Having two energetic toddlers and little family support, I simply didn't have the luxury of continuing with these symptoms and could no longer tolerate the thing inside me. Luckily, my hubbie agreed and so had coil removed on Friday (total of 14 months) . Already, 2 days on, the bloating and brain fog have eased off. The migraines are still present but am assuming it will take a while for body to sort itself out. I'm so looking forward to feeling like "me" again with and getting fruity with the hubbie.

Additionally, have had nose bleeds over last few months and a yeast infection - not sure if these are linked in!

Update for Danielle, it has been 32 days since removal, I am still nauseous, have some anxiety and depression, no more panic attacks thank God, I have been put on an anti-depressant for the next few months until my hormones balance out, I hope it is effective, I have always been a happy person, the Mirena has ruined the last month of my and my family's life, all I want to do is feel like me again, I hope one day I can look back on this time and be thankful I got through it, the one thing I will never take for granted is my health, laughter. I will keep you all posted on how I am feeling, good luck to those of you who are going through the same thing.
