OMG! I am reading these posts and am sighing in relief knowing that I am not crazy after all!!! I had the Mirena inserted 4 yrs ago and had no problems whatsoever. I even convinced 3 of my friends to get them, which they did by the way. And then 2 yrs ago my husband and I wanted to start having children. I got it removed and actually got pregnany within 2 months. After having my little boy, my OBGYN reinserted another Mirena at my 6 week check up. I had back pain while I was pregnant so when I started having it after pregnancy I just thought it had just not gone away. Boy was I wrong! I had such bad back pain that I saw a neurologist, chiropractor, orthopedic dr and physical therapist. NO DIAGNOSIS! I sat every nt crying to my husband because I was hurting so bad that I had to hire someone to help me clean my house bc the pain was keeping me from taking care of my newborn. He is almost 2 and yes the pain has gotten slighly better but some days I feel like it may just be that I have gotten used to it. I also have experienced bad mood swings and depression. I have always battled with depression but this has just been overwhelming. I'm a stay at home mom who has just fell into a black hole. I too feel so foggy with my thoughts. I somedays just stand in the middle of the room wondering what the hell I'm doing. And then over the past few months I have started developing extreme night sweats. I wake up and my entire pillow is soaked along with my hair and clothes. Not to mention my acne! I even ordered Proactiv and it hasn't even touched it. I have always had great skin and now I look like the Before picture on the commercial. And it's leaving scars...when they finally go away. I have one on my chin right now that has been there for almost 2 months!! And my the top of my arms and back are covered. And they are painful! And then the kicker...Bloating! This is when I started looking up things tonight and came across this website....and WOW! It hit me...this is what it is. At least i hope. At least I can get this aweful thing removed and it not be some cancer issue I constantly worry about. Over the past month and a half I have experienced extreme bloating. I was in a size 10 and in this month I have gone to a size 14 which is skin tight. I can't even fit into my fat sweat pants! Sex Drive??? What Sex drive? It is null and void!!! I want to sleep all the time and since I cn't I just walk around tired ALL THE TIME!! What is going on? Can any of you on here that have had it removed give me some insight on what happened afterwards? What can I expect? Please help!!! I'm calling first thing monday and having this YANKED OUT!!!!
