I have had the Mirena for almost 4 years, my health has gone down hill ever since. I never ever thought that it could be the IUD causing all of these issues that I have been having, discharge, tired all of the time, no sex drive, lower back pain and whole lot more. Over the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing really bad headaches with dizziness and nausea and don't let me forget the bad cramping, even though I had my period 2 weeks earlier. I went to my PCP and he said to me " I have no idea what is wrong with you" I finally decided to look up MIRENA and it's side effects, since it's the only thing left that I have not investigated as a possible cause to all of my aches and pains. When I found this site, I realized what is causing all of my problems, needless to say I am making an appointment in the morning to have this GOD AWFUL thing removed. My only wish is that I can live a normal life again.

I could not agree with you more! My health has become an ABSOLUTE disaster and roller coaster ride since I got this thing put in! It's horrible! I've had Mirena for about 1 year and a half now and at first it was great. As we speak, my back hurts, I'm sick at my stomach and I just got off of the phone to get this damn thing out! My fear is that it's going to ruin my body--even though I didn't want children at this moment, I want them in the future, if this were to ruin me enough I'd be so upset. It's not even worth all of the pain it causes even though it's "hassle free", feeling awful makes even more of a hassle. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this thing is a terrible idea! =)
