Since my last post (13th July 2007) I have taken the medication prescribed by my GP and yes it has helped with my IBS but NO it has not had any effect on my other symptoms which, have become worse and now I rival any upcoming teenager!!!!! With my acne (face, back and chest) mood swings and living in my bed. So today I had my nasty little Mirena removed (Yippee!!!!). It was pretty much painless having it removed compared to the insertion although I did repent and have regular coil fitted again, Ooops!!! Which, was pretty painful but hey no more malicious little hormones just heavy periods again??? I don’t expect changes overnight but I do feel already I have made the right decision.
