I had Mirena inserted in mid-September. I was told the insertion process would not cause pain, just mild discomfort. I am 41 and have a son born c-section. The insertion was horrific. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since the age of 6 and I have a very high pain tolerance, but I literally almost jumped off the table during insertion. It's been two months and I have experienced weight gain of 15 pounds. I seriously look like I am 6 months pregnant now and all the gain is in the abdominal area. None of my clothes fit me. I am only 5 feet tall and have maintained my weight at 95 pounds. I was 112 pounds when I delivered my son at 31 and that is the most I have ever weighed. I now weigh 110. I had a tremendous craving for sweets after insertion. Even with my RA I have always been very active, and after Mirena I felt so tired all the time. Also, I experienced an enormous amount of hair loss, lack of sex drive, pain during urination (they thought I had a UTI or bladder infection, but test showed everything was normal), mood swings, crying all the time, and although my blood pressure was still in the normal range, it was higher than it had ever been. I never did get a period after the insertion either. The worst was the increased joint pain and muscle pain. After two weeks of the insertion I could not put any weight on my left leg and I had to start using crutches to get around. I just spent 3 weeks in an in patient physical therapy unit thinking I had done something to my left hip. I was worse after leaving there than when I went in. I had my Mirena moved this past Friday 11/20 and although I am still having some symptoms, they are subsiding. I will keep you posted. I am so glad I found this site because I thought I was going nuts.

I was prescribed CIPROFLAXACIN 500 mg 28 tablets twice a day. I developed Achilles tendon on my right leg
while playing volleyball. I am using crutches and off from work with short term disability. This drug did not cure my existing problem
but created new problem. Even when such side effects were known to the Physicians and Pharmacists I was not made aware of this. As a United States of American citizen I am requesting FDA to please ban such drugs
that cause such side effects.
