Menstrual cramp symptoms and conditions

I had Mirena placed just last Thursday and I wish I hadn't. The pain was excruciating, nearly passed out. Ever since, I have been nauseous, headaches, cramping/sharp pains in lower abdomen (not like menstrual cramp) and excessively tired as well as dizzy. I will give it the three to six month trial but as of right now I would not recommend this to anyone. I should have stayed on the pill!!!!!

I am 29 yrs. of age. My experience with Mirena has been mostly bad. With any medication I usually try to see how it works for me and my body before reading into any web site. I don't want to pre-determine my side effects before they even happen! So, I didn't look up anything on this until I started having side effects of my own. And here's my story...
I got this thing put in right after the birth of my son in Feb. (MY 2ND BABY)My dr. told me it would be the best time to do it since everything was still fairly loosened up down there. I have to say that it really didn't hurt me to have it put in. I barely felt it. I went home with some minor bleeding and started cramping a bit. The next day I cramped a lot. Nothing that a menstrual cramp medication couldn't handle though. Next, I started gaining some weight. I checked on-line immediately to find out if weight gain was an issue. I found that many if not most of the women had some weight gain. Little did I know that weight gain was minor compared to my other symptoms.... I have had HAIR LOSS!!! I think I'm going bald. Ok I am over exaggerating, but seriously I lose handfuls of hair with each shower. I have gotten to the point where I just towel dry my hair and spray it with hair spray (kind of the messy look) I don't want to comb it and lose more hair. I have been very itchy in the vaginal area, and have had discharge also ( kind of wet and watery looking). Is my water breaking again??? lol I have read some of the stories about the mirena and decided that some are far fetched, but I really have to say that having these side effects for myself I realize what my "normal" is. My body is not agreeing with this at all. Even if it would level out after a few more months I don't even think it's worth the wonder! I have tried to stick it out just thinking I must be crazy and that these side effects are not from the birth control, but now I am realizing that I am crazy to leave this Evil thing in! I will be getting it taken out ASAP!

I had a Mirena IUD inserted today, it was a horrible experience. It was very painful and literally felt it getting inside my uterus which was weird because the doctor had told me he had used topical anesthesia and I was not supposed to feel more than a menstrual cramp. At that moment I sensed something was WRONG. Right after the insertion he cut the string and did a vaginal check up and told me that the iud had PERFORATED my uterus and had to be removed RIGHT AWAY!!!! IT WAS UNBEARABLY PAINFUL, i HAD TO LAY DOWN FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR WITH DIZZINESS, LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND SEVERE CRAMPING. He told me that my uerus will heal in about a month and we can try for another iud insertion then. YEAH RIGHT!! It is not worth the trauma and pain. I just wish that instead of researching "mirena iud" I would have researched " complications of Mirena iud".......I would have made a different more informed choice. I don't even know what will be the consequences of this perforation and I'm scared it will affect my fertility. And to think that my ob/gyn ( which I adore)didn't want to insert and iud on me and I changed doctors just to get this done to me!!!

I've got sinusitis (sinus infection) and was prescribed Guaifenex PSE 120 TAB Ethex. Taken twice daily. So far I've had 3 doses, got to take one in a few hours soon. Every time I take it, anywhere within 15 (maybe 30) minutes - a few hours, I get severe abdominal cramping, and sometimes bloating. I thought maybe it's just that I'm not eating enough and there's air pockets in my system that's causing the cramping. But it only happens when I take the meds...
Is abdominal cramping (like a bad menstrual cramp) normal???
Plus I do feel like it is harder to sleep, and at times have felt feverish, or like I'm just burning up, that the room is so hot.
Anyone experiencing any "sexual" side-effects from the drug?
