Hi all! Thank you for posting your stories, otherwise I would think that I am going nuts and my doctor would probably agree with that diagnosis before admitting that this is not the thing for me!! I had my Mirena placed July '07, approx. 8 weeks after having my third child. My hair started falling out by the handful (which I attributed to giving birth recently, but this never happened with the other two). The strings poked my husband's penis everytime we had sex, which was painful and irritating for him. Intercourse is very painful for me! I bleed and have a sore uterus for days after sex or even a hard aerobic workout. I have absolutely no sex drive and I am a very sexual person normally. My stomach is unusually bloated and I can not lose weight regardless of how hard I am working out or how little I am eating. I do not have a period and couldn't tell you when my last one occurred. My doctor has been so stubborn about removing this thing! He keeps telling me to give it time. I can't find my strings and am having it removed this week. This must be one huge money machine, because the resistance to remove it has been crazy. I believe that the Dr.s must report every time they have to remove the Mirena prematurely and what the side effects are/were. Good luck ladies and just remember...this is YOUR body and you know when something is not right!

Been on Zocor for two years went from 20mg to 40mg and since being on the 40mg I have increased leg & foot cramps so severe @ night that I have trouble getting out of bed, the foot locks up. Even getting up after sitting is a problem, sometimes my feet and legs go numb and I even fell a few times. I get very tired during mid day. The newest problem is my sight, I have notice that there is a blurriness that I don't know if it ever clear up, after telling my doctor this she said it was the arthritis and to take arthritis nonasprin and to stop the zocor for about a week, I am going to stop period.
