Medical aid symptoms and conditions

Hi all, after reaing about all these experiences I am finally seeing he light mine was also inserted on a fateful Monday morning 27 Oct and today is the 4th of December - I have been bleeding ever since, the headaches are a way of life and the cramping is unbearable - but how did we miss this - I did so much research on the Mirena and nothing I mean NOTHING was ever mentioned about all this drama! I went back to see my gynae after 2 weeks of non-stop bleeding and only then was I told that you "could" bleed for about 3-6 months after the insertion. I miss my life of spontaneous roll's in the hay doing it on the couch, kitchen as now my fiance wont even touch me for fear that I am still bleeding! My medical aid has been exhausted and I cannot wait for January to have this horrible thing removed - my Christmas holidays are nothing but doom and gloom!!!!!!!!

For the last 2 yrs I had a horrendous cough that plagued me night & day. My Dr. didn't know what was causing the cough, couldn't give me any cough medicine to alleviate the condition. In addition to coughing, I would lose my voice. I went to an ENT specialist. She found me to have pre-polyps on my vocal chords, diagnosed me with 'vocal chord dysfunction' & told me surgery would be useless as the pre-polyps would reappear. This last June, I had a bout with bronchitis, severe enough to seek medical aid from the Emergency room Dr.'s. While there, the Dr. treating me asked about my cough. After listening to my list of aggravations, he asked if my Primary Dr. had told me that 'coughing' is a side effect of Lipitor. NO! I hadn't been told that!! --But, I QUIT taking Lipitor that day, haven't taken it since & though I still cough, somewhat, it's NOTHING compared to what I'd been suffering--for two years!!..
