I was up late last night, doing some research on my current birth control method, because I haven’t been able to sleep very well for weeks. I am constantly restless, when I do sleep it is an unfit sleep. I am irritable, at all times, at best. I am also having migraines that are now exceeding well into three weeks in length. Then I get one day free of pain, and they are right back again. I can hardly function with them. Granted, at first I thought there could be any number of reasons for my migraines, I have been suffering from them since the young age of twelve, although, I also learned how to treat them within a reasonable amount of time and over the counter methods available for such. But, never, and I must stress this NEVER, for this severe nor long, without any relief from the methods available to me, without having to go to the doctor for some help. Not to mention, dizziness, nausea, bloating, stomach upset, the constant spotting, and/or bleeding - outside of my normal period window of time, so to speak. Intercourse is painful, no matter what position, and/or methods I, and my husband try. And, pardon me if this is to much information, simple masturbation is excruciating as well. That was certainly never a problem before. I cannot in good conscience, blame my mood swings on Mirena, as I am bi-polar to begin with. However, I have noticed the swings of my mood are more erratic, to be certain. Although, do I think that Mirena has something to do with the severity and quickness of fluctuation? Yes, I do. My moods may shift on their own, but they have gotten progressively worse since having the Mirena inserted. And, I do know how to treat my bi-polar for the most part. I am very aware of my body and mental state, in most cases. The clumps of hair coming out, that was something I just recently read. My husband was teasing me, saying I was going to be bald before he was! Of course, even though he meant it in good nature, I cried, uncontrollably for at least an hour. I feel for those ladies who are suffering from that! Acne isn't a problem that I have suffered from, but then I was graced with rarely having that problem, even as a teenager. I do have facial hair growth, that is a new one. It is completely embarrassing to say the least. I can grow a goatee like a pubescent boy! That is certainly not on the warning label! I think I may have a cyst on my left ovary, maybe a few more on my uterus itself. I am unsure as of yet. I just know I am in pain constantly, be it from one end of my body, or the other. Some days, the pain is so intense, I see flashes of white and nothing more, right before my very eyes. Ladies, for those considering getting this method of birth control, please, I urge you, DO NOT DO IT. Granted, there are women that it works beautifully for. But the pain and suffering for a "What if," isn't worth the losing your entire means of being a well functioning woman, in your home and society.
