I got my Mirena put in a little over two months ago but problems since. I have been on my period for almost a whole month now and I'm having icky brown discharge that stains all of my clothes. I feel like I am constantly tired and I fall asleep all the time at work and other places. The acne is crazy. My back and chest are now covered with it. It's so embarrassing. I have a pressure down in my lower stomach area that almost feels like my ovaries are swollen. I just got over a UTI(or at least that's what I thought it was since it hurt to urinate and I had to go frequently with not much coming out and I had some of the other telltale signs) that I think was caused by the IUD because I've never had one in my entire life. And although I got the UTI about ten days ago, and have been taking medicine for it I STILL have some tenderness down there. It hurts to do anything sexual. I feel like I am falling apart. Does anyone know if all of the symptoms that I am experiencing are related to the IUD? The swollen ovaries are starting to worry me as is the extreme loss of blood. HELP! :(

I'm 55 year old female and was put on Simvastatin 3 months ago with a cholesterol reading of 6.8. I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, a burning pain in the right side of the groin and severe pain in my right hip and leg. It has become so bad that I'm finding walking difficult. I also have severe itching all over, especially on one part of my arm. I can't take anti-histimes because I am alreading taking beta-histine for vertigo. After reading the postings here I am seeing my doctor this week to have my medication changed. Since I live in the Uk cost is not a problem
