I am glad to see recent Mirena side effects. as it is taking a sweep across the US. I had mine removed after 3 months and that was also 3 months ago. The bloated belly is still here, energy has increased, I have extreme pain in my elbows, very irritable, probably from the bloated tummy. I have gained 30 lbs back. My OB did a preg test in Dec just because I had gained 15 lbs in 2 weeks. She was very concerned but had not heard of others with problems. I had just lost 40 lbs last year before Mirena insert. I haven't searched for recent blogs lately but am glad I did today. Other blogs I have read say they had side effects for up to 6 months after removal. I also called Bayer and they weren't very helpful or polite. Just wanted a list of symptoms and when I couldn't speak to them during a lunch meeting on my cell, they returned my call, they hung up and said that was my tough luck. I would like to know if there is any litigation towards them. I feel like 6 months of my life have been ripped away thus far.
