Free person symptoms and conditions

I am a divorced mother of 5 minor children and I had my Mirena inserted 5.5 years ago due to heavy and painful periods. The thing stopped my periods, stopped the pain and made feel a free person again without worrying about staining my cloths and having to take days off.
I had the most wonderful 5 years physiology wise. My body responded great but.........my mood swings.....oyvei.
When it was due to come out, last August, the doc could not find the string, he poked, and poked and poked. Two docs tried to find it, to no avail. So they scheduled me to do an outpatient removal with the help of an anesthesiologist who would put me under for the few minutes it would take,
I was franctic.
As a last resort, I decided to wait, passed the due date, to see if my periods would return and get my cervix a bit softer or expel the string, or whatever was left of it after 5 years. I did and we tried again, the doctor said he would poke around a bit and it may hurt. He poked for 30 seconds and said 'here is that sucker!!' and he pulled it out. No pain, nothing.
I feel so happy now that I don't have a strange thing inside of me, but I am concerned about side effects post removal. So far, it's been a week and nothing other than a small bleeding that is fading away and a tad of a somewhat recurrent backache.
Should I expect side effects as days go by?

One of the things I craved the most after coming off of Pred was chocolate and although I have set my mind strictly on salads, fish & chicken, the cravings for sweets is still there but then again Mind Over Matter. So instead, I take a tspn of honey, it's healthier and doesn't make my face to break-out. Many people say that after Pred they feel less hungry so I think the fact you quit smoking may contribute to your hunger and cravings.
By the way, good luck on your way to become a smoke-free person :)

It is amazing how many people have experienced tightness in the chest, anxiety, and mood swings with this drug. None of this was mentioned by my doctor when he prescribed doxycyline for my adult acne. And I asked him about all of the side effects, as I was very wary about taking the drug to begin with. Until reading this forum, I thought I was going a little crazy. A generally happy, worry-free person, I experienced anxiety, sleeplessness, tightness in the chest, and trouble breathing. I recently quit taking this medication because I believe it was causing my skin to itch like mad. I already feel better mentally and physically. I will look for another solution for my acne and never again take doxycyline. It is very bad.
