March 11 symptoms and conditions

I had Mirena placed March 11, 2009 after being post partum for 1 and a half months. It was great. It hurt a little and I cramped for about 48 hours after it was placed.

Now my problem: The first day of my last period was 8/19/09 (5 months into having Mirena) I haven't bled a tiny tinge since that day. So I have been without a period for nearly going on 2 months now. October 11th will be two months no period. Anyways about 4 days ago I took a pregnancy test which was negative. Today I began horribly cramping but still no period. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I am getting this thing removed hopefully within two weeks. The nurse has to return my phone call within 3 days. Gotta love the military...ehhh I want this out now I feel like I am DYING...the pain hurts from my pelvic bones all the way up to the top of my tummy. I am nauseated and have taken all the pain medication that I can. I might go to the ER I am hurting that badly....I just feel as if I would feel better if I had a period...the pain is like labor pains. Anyone had anything like this happen before????

I got the Mirena March 11, I am 45 and do not want more children, my daughter is 11 so I thought this would be perfect. It hurt going in but only for about 10 seconds, then I had no real pain since. I noticed the hair loss about 4 weeks after getting it. The doctors say that it is not a side effect. It is listed as a side effect, however, and that is the only thing that has been different so...anyway, also feeling depressed, anxious and irritable. The doctor said give it more time but I went ahead and made an appointment to get it removed in about 3 weeks, I can't wait, hope I'm not bald by then.

I'm a 21 year old mother of one 4-year old. I recently got my Mirena put in on March 11, 2008. Insertion was painful but the cramps went away pretty quick when i left the doctors office I tried to feel for the string but i never felt it so i assumed that my fingers were to small to reach so i just forgot about it. My boyfriend and i had sex the next week and it felt much much different. It felt as if his penis had doubled in size or something. I just know that it HURT a little more but it was still somewhat enjoyable. Since then I got my period last monday March, 26th and I'm still bleeding 9 days later! It's very frustrating. My head is spinning all of the time, I black out, and i twitch like something is wrong. I've gained weight, I have intense migraines, and i'm scared!!!!! Today is the 4th of April and i want it removed so badly. I just left the doctors office for my follow up, so that he could make sure my Mirena is in place. GUESS WHAT.... HE COULDN'T FIND THE STRING to the Mirena....so now i've got an ultrasound appointment on Tuesday. I'm terrified that this thing is floating around somewhere in my body doing damage. My significant other is devestated because he is in fear that we can't have children together and he has already made himself distant. It's a very stressful situation. I'll keep you updated....

My sister was prescribed Avelox on Tuesday, March 11, 2008. Within 15-20 minutes she began having breathing difficulties. Because she has asthma her initial thought was that she was having an asthma attack. She tried asthma treatment and it didn't help. She soon was unable to breath. Her husband called 911, they responded quickly but had to intubate her in the ambulance. They know that she was without oxygen to her brain for at least 3-5 minutes. This caused seizures that lasted 20 hours before I.C.U. could get them under control. Unfortunately it caused brain damage leaving her with no higher brain function (vegetative state). As she has worked in the medical field for over 14 years she did not wish to be kept alive by artificial means. On Tuesday, March 18, 2008 her ventilation tube and feeding tube were removed. It is now Thursday, March 20, 2008 and she is in a wonderful Hospice House awaiting her death.
She had taken the same class of antibiotic in the past with no reaction. Really not sure what caused this one. She was going through chemo for breast cancer, but had just finished and was scheduled to start her radiation treatment. Her chemo doctor told us that since her reaction, they have had another patient who went into anaphylactic shock after taking Avelox.
My sister is only 43 years old. This medication should be taken off the market.

I have been on mirena now for 10 months. I was on the depo for 10 years prior. I loved my depo adn only went off of it after Kaiser said I could not do it any longer. I was told that mirena was a god send and a lot like my depo. I can say that the combination of depo and mirena I have not had any period at all. but that is where the happiness ends. I have experienced moths of breast pain. it hurt to touch them let alone put anything on them. after about 6 months and numerous trips to the vet it disappeared. then I got a small rash on my neck and by my arms. went to dermatology and since then I have been there, or to my primary or an allergist every week since then. the rough severley itchy skin is constant. remarkably every 29 - 32 days it fades for 2 days or so and just when I am sure it is going away wham back it comes and each time it is getting worse and worse. having never had any skin problems before I believed the doctors tha tit was folliculitus, then they said dermatitus, then they said uticaria and then hives or the last straw i was causing it that it was in my head. i just got a new allergist and while she doesn't knwo if it is my mirena she can tell me I have histamine levels that are off the chart. my husband is allergic to a lot so we already use free & clear everything and my housse is spotless but I am still being told it is soemthing I am doing to myself. I have also been reevaluating my things and I relaize I have been experiencing a lot of numbness and joint pain. so much so that my primary sent me to a rhuematlogist and he ran every test for lupus, and many other diseaeses adn even cancer. I was going crazy. Iwas beginning to think maybe I was mental. I have since been researching mirena and I am finding it so much more than what the pamphlet says. I finally got the nerve to call my ob, adn she ahs since been researching things with me and we know for sure that no matter what next week I get my mirena removed. I am just feeling so alone and depressed. I am 33 years old and instead of enjoying my new marriage I am contemplating a divorce becasue I do not want him to be stuck with soemone who might be crazy. seeking support and anyone else who feels this way.
