You sound like me. I had every side effect except hair loss. The dizziness and exhaustion finally got so bad that I could not take it any more and had it removed after just 5 months. I felt like I bled/spotted for 3 months straight and then only had one identifiable period after that....and now, at the age of 43, I am post-menopausal....started having hot flashes a month after I had it out. Unreal. So now I am taking HRT (estrogen patch and progesterone cyclically) and my libido is back, my bloating is gone, headaches gone and I can SLEEP!!!!!!!! Good luck to you.
Get it out!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had it for over 4 years and I wish I would have understood what was going on better.. BUT of course my doctor keep telling me it was me so I went along for the ride.. THe Mood swings weight gain, leg cramps NO SLEEP or feeling TIRED ALL THE TIME..OH and did I mention the 60pds I gained.. Well I had it out and EVERYTHING IS GONE.. I'm down 30 pounds and very quick.. Don't let them tell you otherwise... GET IT OUT!!!
