Jan 19 symptoms and conditions

WOW! I had no idea that all these things that are happening to to me could be related to Mirena!! I have gained aver 20lbs, I have no sex drive, sleepy all the time, ZERO patients. All this started after I got Mirena. I got Mirena on Jan. 19, 2009, and my life has went down hill from there. I catch myself crying for no reason,I go from sweet to bitch in ONE SECOND!!! MY lower back hurts all the time. I have tried to lose the weight but I can't. I joined the gym. I do pilates, kickboxing and body sculpting and still i have no results. I cramp almost everyday. It hurts to have sex. You name it , I am feeling it. I made an appoint for Wednesday the 8th, hopefully they remove it!!!!!!! I will keep ya'll updated. Any body have any answers to my problems until then.

After reading your stories, I am terrified that I even let my doctor talk me into getting this. I have a 3 year old and a 4 month old. My husband and I weren't sure if we wanted more kids so I asked my doctor what she recommended.
We decided on Mirena so I had it put in back in December. It is now Jan.19. On Wednesday I went for my 5 week checkup to make sure it was still where it was suppose to be. Well, they couldn't find it. This was in the morning...I needed to get an ultrasound. They still couldn't find it so they did an internal ultrasound...still nothing. So my doctor ordered an x-ray.
Mind you I had my kids with me because I thought it would be quick. So they were both hunger at this point. By this point it was almost dinner time.
They finally found it back on the right side of my abdomen. NOT IN MY UTERUS!! I couldn't believe it. I now need surgery to remove it.
They will be doing a laparoscopic surgery...my doctor has never done this before. Do I let her or do I get someone else to do it? She said she has never perforated anyone's uterus before and that she would not charge me for the surgery but I would need to pay for the hospital stay. Is this right?
I don't think I should be paying for any of this.
Besides the fact that I've also been experiencing lots of cramping and pain. I 've gained 6-7 lbs., have muscle aches, crabbiness, headaches, dizziness, bloated all the time, bad gas pains in my stomach,...tired.
Was it worth it...NO!!!
I can't wait to get it out. My husband and I will stick with condoms for now until we want a more permanent solution. My husband said he would get the vasectomy at that point. I've gone through enough.
I am sure this is not a good form of bc. I'm sorry women have had to go through the same experience but hopefully more women will realize how bad it is and not get one.

I started taking Topamax Jan. 19, 2007 for my migraine headaches. For the first week and and a half, I didn't drive anywhere because I felt 'loopy' (guess that's the correct word). I would say things that I couldn't believe I said! Then I was ok. My migraines aren't as severe. I have noticed that I can only eat small portions of food then I am full which is not common for me. I have lost 7 pounds and this is the 10th of Feb. My hair is not falling out like others I have read about on here. I have noticed that the ones that are losing their hair are taking very high dosages of the medication. I am taking 50mg. I hope the best for everyone.
