Sideeffect symptoms and conditions

Well I've had mirena for about 7 months. I bled for maybe 3 months or so but after that no period up until 3 days ago I noticed that i have gained a little weight, my breast were tender, and at first i started to spot but then i got heavy bleeding since. Im going to make an appointment to see my doctor on Monday but i want to know if anyone has had this happen to them or does anyone know if this is a side effect of mirena.

I was on 80mg of Geodon for about 1 year. I started having uncontrolled neck and eye movements. The Dr. took me off immediately. However, I was left with the side effect called Dystonia. I have uncontrolled neck and eye movements. I have to have botox injections every 3 months in my neck and eyes. I'm left with my neck in the backwards and to the left position. I've been told that this is something I will have to live with the rest of my life. I'm in pain on a daily basis. Trying to move my head to the right side if extremely painful. I've been told other then the botox treatments which don't work that well and wear off my only other course of treatment would be brain surgery.

No serious side effects. I want to add my experience as I see everyone
here has a side effect. I am always wary about medication, and I have taken
statins mainly Zocor and Lipitor off and on for 10 years or so. I have familial
hypercholesterolemia, so diet hasn't helped much, and I have tried all kinds
of food supplements etc. I do take CoQ10 based on reports I have read, not from any side effect. If there are any side effects its not significant that I can
notice it. Sometimes I am forgetful, hard to say if its caused by the drug, as
the times I have been off it, has been much different.

I wonder if high cholesterol is a real problem, I wonder if high triglycerides are worse? Lately I found what seems like an improvement by eliminating high glycemic foods like rice and replacing with barley and oats. Barley also has some fiber and other things that are apparently helpful. Grapefruit is also helpful, but there is a warning not to take it, if you are already taking statins. Based on all this side effects reported here, I feel I might need to try once again, to try an alternative. I am maintaining my 10mg Lipitor, though I had been planning to move back to Zocor as its cheaper for me. I will take a test
in 2 months to test my current barley diet, and recent exercise routine to see
what improvements can happen. Then if successful, I might get off statins,
maintain the non-glycemic diet, exercise and in addition take a lot of grapefruit and a reasonable dose of niacin.

In the past I have tried ginger, garlic, Chinese herbs, and more then I can list here without much help. Occasionally I had been surprised by low readings,
once when I had come back from a 10 day meditation retreat. I have read that cholesterol can change due to stress, and this is a very variable thing. I have
taken lab tests within 2 days from the same lab and seen almost 20% difference (with fasting). I think each body is different and one needs to take a very long term, positive attitude of experimenting and not feeling discouraged too much, but always reading and trying different things and being careful of how you interpret the results.

I would rather ignore the high cholesterol, except my brother died at 65 from cardiac issues, but he also had diabetes. I am now 51.
