I thank you all more than you could ever know. Reading these posts has made me feel so much better and I can now clearly put things together. I now know that I am NOT crazy and my husband was right - this thing is the cause of all my symptoms. The abdominal pain, the headaches, nausea (who wants to feel pregnant all the time???) the terrible skin (I have always been proud of my flawless complexion, even without make-up) the numbness in my fingers and toes, the moodiness and lack of desire to do ANYTHING, much less sex, the 4 month long period I have been having. I have gone from a super-social entertainer to almost a hermit who doesn't want company or to go anywhere, and just wants to sleep all day. I am having it taken out today in an hour and a half. I pray I get back to normal soon. My marriage and work performance has been suffering terribly since I had this thing put in 4 months ago. Has anyone else had a problem with the skin on their hands and feet peeling and cracking? This is a new symptom with started last week and is getting worse. Been taking antihistamines (2 types, once daily each) and no help. I knew it would be because I use the same products I have been using for many many years but gave it a shot anyway. My hands hurt so bad. Just curious to see if anyone else had this problem. Can't wait to get this out.

I think I know what you're talking about with your hands and feet cracking. I had the Mirena in for 6 months before that symptom started for me.... but for me, it was more a "burning/tingling" sensation in my hands and feet and then it gradually got worse and worse to the point where I was breaking out in a rash and hives all over my body. I got my Mirena removed a week ago, and have already seen the severity of my hives decrease.
