I am so glad to read all of these postings and know that I am not crazy. I had the Mirena IUD inserted in February, 2008. I was so happy with it at first, but in May I really started noticing bizarre side effects. I was experiencing bloating, anxiety, numbness and tingling in arms and legs and my hair was falling out. I felt like I was walking around in a fog. No focus at all. My work suffered and I was very short with my husband and child. I was pretty miserable ( I have never been an anxious person - very laid back). I had blood work done which was normal and had a brain MRI, as my doctor wanted to rule out MS because of the numbness and tingling. After reading postings here and elsewhere, I had the IUD removed last week. I felt much more clear headed in 24 hours. The anxiety is starting to go away. The numbness and tingling is better, but is still there. Can anyone who has had that symptom tell me how long after removal it went away?
