Hello everyone. I am posting follow up after my first posting which was a few hours after removal. (6/20/08 removal, insertion was 9/2007) I can't believe how much better I feel! It took about 2 days for the headaches to stop. I was having daily major headaches, now its weird to every morning look at my husband and tell him I DON'T have a headache when I used to reach for the Advil every morning. Before the iud, I was on birth control pills everyday for a year to stop my periods. (I had my tubes tied years ago). It took 3 days for that old feeling to start just before my period started. I was actually happy! I felt like a woman again. I know it sounds weird, but I really wanted my cycle to clean everything out so to speak. It as a usual heavy period but I felt so much better than without it with the iud. When I had the iud inserted, for almost a year I hardly ate anything and gained weight, since it was taken out, I'm starving! Maybe my body was just so deprived of anything and all the BS with the iud that it puts your body into this "starvation" like mode, no energy, weight gain, no appetite and just a crummy feeling. I do not feel as bloated all the time, no headaches, less leg pain and joint pain, I feel more "focused" and can pay attention like a fog is lifting. My nickname is not superbitch this week LOL. I feel sexual again, sex no longer hurts and there is no painful cramping upon orgasm like before. I no longer have the dull ache which was constant where it was inserted, there is no sharp burning pains but the biggest thing is how much better I feel! With only a few weeks past, and the difference I feel, I can't wait for any left overs from this thing to stop. ANYONE no matter age or circumstances, should not use this device, it has made my life hell since I got it. This thing should be taken off the market! I think there should be a class action suit filed. I hope I can repair the damage it has caused in every other area of my life: marriage, job, personal relationships etc. Not one person I talked to about this iud had anything positive to say, everyone of the women I talked to all had problems upon problems upon problems. Every doctor said it was NOT the iud, and it was either all in our heads or we were suffering from some mental disorder. How wrong they were! I'm looking forward to getting my old life back but I still think that Bayer should have to pay for all the damage they caused!
