I can't tell you how happy I was to find this web site. I had my Mirena inserted almost 2 years ago now. Was looking forward to having NO periods but that never happened...they're lighter but last longer. Some months I'll have spotting for a week or two prior to my period...feel like I should buy stock in Kotex! Several months after having my Mirena inserted I complained to my GYN of pain in my lower right side. He said it was probably scar tissue from my two c-sections. A few months after that I started seeing a chiropractor for back pain that just wouldn't go away...and STILL hasn't almost 2 years later. I am VERY moody before my period comes to the point of screaming and yelling at my husband and children and I can't stand that...not like me at all. Back in November I had pain all around my middle and could hardly walk without being slumped over. Went to the local walk-in, ended up in the hospital with a ruptured ovarian cyst. Haven't been the same ever since then. My face breaks out...mostly on the left side, I get horrible headaches nearly every day and feel like I LIVE on Excedrin...THAT can't be good for my body. I've gained about 20 pounds since I got the IUD inserted, I have a hard time going to sleep at night, have no energy whatsoever...it's just been horrible. After reading all of these posts I feel like I've finally found the answers to all the things that have been troubling me...it's the Mirena and it needs to come out!
