My next door neighbor is the one who told me about the Mirena and I called her tonight after viewing this web site. She has had it for almost two years with no side effects... do you know people who the Mirena works for?
I think I will call my OB tomorrow and ask him, but if I still feel awful in a couple of weeks I will get it removed and have my TUBES tyed. Not to mention I have gain 4 pounds in one week, thats a first in years, I have a inside zit on my cheek, when I NEVER get acne. I only weigh 103 and my hair is already VERY, VERY thin. I do NOT want this to mess my whole body up. As for the sex drive that was bad before I had it place, in fact I asked my doctor at the time of placement if their was anything I could take to improve that.
At the time of placement I a also asked if there were any side affects and was told NO. I will be very angry if this comes down to me having it removed, considering I payed out of pocket for it and will have to do something else.

THIS THING SUCKS...I am 38 yrs old and could no longer be on birth control because I smoke. I had the Mirena put in on 4/13/2009, the insertion was so painful I thought I might faint. My doctor said I had the smallest uterus he had ever seen...I had really bad cramping all night long.
The next day I felt fine.
But now two weeks later, I thought my vertigo was coming back, until my meds would not work. I am so tired I can't function, I don't even feel like smoking, I'm lightheaded and dizzy all the time.
Should I have it taken back out or give it more time???

I'am 45 year old female and I have been on simvastatin 40mg for at least 6 months. Here in the past 3 weeks I have had very weak legs and arms,they felt like they were wet noodles. I also was getting these week spells where it felt like I couldn't lift my arms or legs cause they was so weak.I had pain in my ear and big bad headaches that wouldn't leave. My heart feels like it skips a beat and I get very bad anxiety attacks. I have been to the ER several times and they can not find anything wrong. I even got very dizzy. The ER doctor told me that the dizziness and headaches was from a inter ear disturbance,well I think the inter ear disturbance might have come from the simvastatin after running across this web site. I'm going off the simvastatin tomorrow! Oh yeah and forgot to mention the weight gain and the tiredness and how I feel like a couch zombie. I think I'll stick to my salmon oil.

I have been on levoxyl for about 8-9 years now. I have an under active thyroid which I believe is from radiation over my neck area for benign tumors. I have been reading the side effects from people and I am starting to think that most of my symptoms or side effects are from this medication. Slowly over the years I have developed several of the same things people are talking about on this, especially restless leg syndrome, fatigue, chronic pain in legs, trouble sleeping, anxiety, lack of energy, cold feet/hands, lack of sex drive depression, b-12 deficiency, neck and back pain. I am talking to my doctor tomorrow and see if I can go on something else. I am being treated for all these other things that could all be related to the levoxyl side effects. I had none of these other things before taking this medication, what is going on?
