0This is a followup to an email I sent on July 22nd about my mirena experiences. see samsmom on on July 22 for original email.) I AM SO HAPPY!!!!! I got in early with my ob/gyn, she had a cancellation!! WOO WOO!! That was on Monday, July 28th. I cannot tell you how good it felt to get out. No really, when they pulled it out it cramped for a second, but it felt like my body breathed after that. You know what it feels like when you get a kernel of popcorn out off your teeth and how relieved your gums feel after you finally get it out. Well that was the feeling!! My hand to GOD--by Tuesday, the fogginess I was feeling in my head was gone. I sneezed all night long Monday night and my nose ran like the dickens, but I think that the sinusitis I started to get (never had it before mirena) was actually draining itself out of my head. NO longer did my face feel like there were rocks in it, no longer did I feel like I was walking around in an out of body experience type state. I even felt less mean and moody. These were my instant results. I am looking forward to weight loss again, this is the biggest I have ever been (excpet pregnancy 143), I am now 130. But I am not as VORACIOUSLY hungry anymore--and the sweets craving is gone. I forgot to post this, but I also noticed when mirena was in that I was getting facial hair on my chin (like a guy). Not like a beard, but a few stray whiskers here and there that seemed to grow back like weeds. Unfortunately I cannot say that getting rid of mirena stopped the whiskers, because I got them lasered---but that was how bad it was. A lot of unusual hair pattern growth issues in women are linked to hormones. Also what I find interesting is how can the progestine time release in mirena be a one-size-fit-all for women. I mean you have women who are 6 feet and 150 lbs and 4.5 feet women who weigh 90. Does that mean there bodies are equipped to handle the same dosage? HMMMMMM Questions I should have asked. I hope you consider getting yours removed. I hope that you see results like mine. I feel more in tuned to life, my son and my husband. More energy, less anxious and stressful, the night time nausea and dizziness is totally gone! Take care!
