Torturous symptoms and conditions

I have had my Mirena for 2 months now. I have not had any children, so my cervix had to be dilated for insertion. That was hell!!! . Thankfully, the procedure was very quick. I had horrible cramping all day. I have had a lot of cramping in the past two months, and an occasional sharp pain in my abdomen. Other than a little spotting the day after the procedure, I have had no bleeding at all for two months. About a month after I got Mirena, I had a day or two of torturous cramps - more like contractions at times. It's been about another month, and I am having these contraction-like cramps again. I'm hoping they'll pass in another day or so because they are debilitating. My doctor told me to give it three months for my body to get used to it, so I hope everything will be okay. I want to like Mirena, because I know I'm unable to remember to take a pill everyday. My friend has one and loves it. She says she can barely remember what those days of uncomfort are like. I have an appointment next week to trim the strings. Sex has been uncomfortable sometimes, causing me to cramp up. And my boyfriend got "poked" the other day - it kinda killed the mood. I hope my body gets used to Mirena, and I wish you all luck with yours!

I was put on 10mg. Prednisone 5 times a day by my rheumatolgist. This past Wed. I had to go to my GP doctor because under my right armpit it was red & swollen 2 inches high and 5 inches across. I was in agony. He flipped when saw how much Prednisone I was taking. He said that is what caused my armpit problem. He could not drain my armpit because it was too hard. That was when I just went to pieces because I wanted some relief.He put me on antibiotics and pain meds. He noted a yellow spot in the corner of both eyes and amde an appt. with an optomolgist. He told me how to taper off of Prednisone and I will go back next week. It has been 2 days since that visit and here are my new problems: white bumps on my tongue, numb tongue and lips, pus sores in my nose,bloating, bright red spots on my thighs, bruises I can't explain, moonface, pain under my rib area, I could eat eat our house like a termite, not sleeping, sweating. My husband half expects me to grow a new leg or develop leposy or something. I had no idea a drug could do so much damage so quickly.Who knows what new side effect I can get tomorrow.
