Omega 3 6 9 symptoms and conditions

I am 36 yrs old and have had the Mirena for 7 months now. I spotted for 4 months straight. I noticed my body odor has changed, I switched deodorant and my natural female scent has also changed. I have gained about 5 pounds since all in my belly area. My body aches and feels stiff all the time. It is worse in the morning. I sometime feel dizzy for a day or to but it does pass. My eyes felt funny too, like I couldn't concentrate while I was reading, almost jittery feeling. At 4 months I was feeling anxious all of a sudden. I was nervous about nothing in general, nothing had changed in my life. I felt like I couldn't breath, short of breath. I also wasn't sleeping well or much. Couldn't fall asleep or stay asleep. My doctor checked my blood and everything was normal. He couldn't explain any of my symptoms. I hadn't at that time linked it to the Mirena. I saw a Natropath who put me on vit B6, omega 3-6-9 and a muscle spasm reliever.
I was feeling better for maybe 1 1/2 months. But now at 7 months post
insertion I am feeling anxious/nervous again. I feel like I can't breath. I feel
worse when I am quiet or relaxing. I am going to make an appointment with
my doctor to speak with him about having it removed. I hope these feeling
go away asap. Along with the other myriad of problems.

Hi everyone, I just came upon all this yesterday and can't believe it! I have been thinking I am going crazy and have been going down a shame spiral! I have had the Mirena for about a year after the birth of my twins. When I first got the Mirena I really didn't seem to like it...I had weird bleeding, cramping, headaches but my doctor told me there were really no side effects except for the on and off again bleeding so I didn't think much of it. Soon, I started having heart palpitations and weird panicky feelings when I would be out places which I have never had before. I wrote it all off due to the rough twin pregnancy and moved on. Soon, I really started worrying something was wrong with me because of all these weird things, the headaches and heart palpitations and panicky feelings, also I started feeling foggy like I was walking around feeling out of it and sometimes a little dizzy or something just having weird head feelings. We always had in the back of our minds that it could be the Mirena but never really took action. Just for the past couple of months things have gotten much worse. Those panicky feelings really got worse and combined with anxiety and sad and crazy depression thoughts and feelings. I also have been feeling this weird nervousness.....even in my quietest moments of my day. This is so out of my normal character and I feel like I can't even remember what I used to feel like. I have been to my PCP who gave me medication for anxiety and have had a hard time adjusting because I just can't believe all of this craziness and I just keep thinking is the problem really my IUD? Then my mom came upon this because she just felt that me feeling this way is just to weird and I feel like I relate to all of your stories! I have truly been feeling like I am going crazy...and I have never felt this way before...ever. I called my doctor yesterday to talk with her and I am going to have this removed...although I am a little nervous about the after effects. I just keep thinking a year ago I was fine.. and now look at me...I am on anti-depressants...how did this happen?? I know that I have stress but there is no reason for me to be feeling this way. I would love to hear about anyone else who felt this way and got the IUD removed and how that went. I know that I probably won't feel better right away...but I am hoping with time I can forget all of this and move on.

Three years ago, my Doctor said he wanted my cholesterol lowered. He prescribed Lipitor 10 m every other day.. Last year Cat Scan revealed a clogged minor artery so doctor increased to 20m PER day.. Test results proved Cholesterol down to " perfect" said the doctors BUT the rest of me was falling apart.. Severe muscle cramps in both legs, fatigue, muscles all over had no strength, weakness, nausea, headaches etc.. My cousin who is a doctor had been taking Lipitor herself but stopped because of the above symptoms.. Both my Cardiologist and internist have told me to stop taking Lipitor for a period of time to see if these symptoms dissipate.. After three days I already feel better. I have begun to eat 100% healthy: taking vitamins: vitamin C, Omega 3,6,9. lecithin & exercise, etc. And praying a lot..

andiegags,
my pms was never like this either! i had very few pms symptoms before yasmin,i would be a bit cranky a couple of days before i came on my period and has sore boobs but other than that,nothing! i have been investigating my symptoms again lately and have found that some birth control pills can cause pms or pmdd and if you look at the symptoms of pms on a good site many of the anxiety problems etc are common to extreme pms. some birth control pills are also known to reduce serotonin levels in the brain (this also happens naturally in women with pms around ovulation) so that may explain the anxiety/depression getting worse around ovulation/menstruation. i am just about to try adding a low dose of 5-htp to see if that will help improve my anxiety,i already take magnesium,calcium,and a vitamin b complex along with omega 3,6 & 9 oil. i really feel for you,i had a really bad episode of anxiety last year that lasted about 6 months,i developed agoraphobia as a result and i still have days when i can't leave the house especially when i am ovulating.i hope that things will improve,i know it will take time but i am convinced that recovery is possible and probable!

hi silke,
dehydration and anxiety are definately linked,when the body is lacking something it switches on it's emergeny mechanisms to survive so it is quite possible that valuable vitamins and minerals are used up in this emergency state. As yasmin has a strong diuretic effect it is not surprising that anxiety etc gets worse.As you were on it for so long i imagine most of your stores were used up a long time ago. i carry a bottle of water with me wherever i go,i am never without one! i drink at least 2.5 litres of water a day. like you i also take magnesium as it seems to help. i take evening primrose oil for pms,garlic pills for good blood circulation,omega 3,6,9 oil for the brain and nerves and calcium to balance the magnesium! it all seems to help me. The other thing that gets me through it all is the faith that i will be back to my old self and hopefully stronger than before. i am still having trouble with agoraphobia which appeared when my panic attacks came on but i am doing my best to get over with the power of positive thinking! I am hoping that now my periods have returned that nature will take over and get my body back to normal! the memories of this nightmare will take longer to heal though i think. best wishes to you silke,i really hope that the water and magnesium work for you and that you soon feel better than ever.

Ive been on Celexa for 1.5 years now. Prior , Id taken Prozac for 8 years with no side effects whatsoever, until I got whats called 'poopout"...all at once I had reverse effects.
So, back to Celexa... I take 20 mg a day. There are times when Im great, and there are times like the past week Ive had. Extreme fatigue, irritability, shakes, blured vision, nausea, loss of balance, headaches....I find that every so often, I have to cut my dose in half, or Im in a haze with heavy eyes as I am now.
As for weight gain...yes I had gained quite a bit of weight.Foe the last 9 months, I have completly changed my eating habits... I also take apple cider vinegar, which really helps with sweets cravings, as well as omega 3--6--9. Ive added more protien to my diet, and excercise regularily. I still do get the sweet/carb cravings, but find that an excess now makes me ill, making me stop, where as before, I couldnt.
Myself, I am seriously considering switching back to prozac.
It scares me that I have to tweek my medication on a regular basis as I do, which one really shouldnt. I feel as though at times Im on a roller coaster in the fog, and its time for me to get off...
