HI - I had my Mirena removed yesterday. I had it inserted on Vale...

HI - I had my Mirena removed yesterday. I had it inserted on Valentines Day 2006 - so 2 and a half years. A week after having it inserted I woke up one morning sweating and shaking like a mad woman....also starting Vomiting and then fainted. I went to my OB/Gyn and he told me that I had a virus and it was nothing to do with the mirena...Hmmm???? In hindsight (yes I know hind sight is 20/20) I have to say I am sure that I didn't have a virus - I think it was some kind of shock reaction to the Mirena - 12 weeks after having it put in I threw my boyfriend out - he just started getting on my nerves!!!....and every month or so I have been getting a severe dry swollen throat they have been getting progressively worse over the past 2 years - once again my doctor told me it was nothing to do with the Mirena, but that I had reflux...or allergies....The reflux medication that I took for a year nearly stopped my natural stomach acid production - so I swelled up (was it the reflux medication or the Mirena?? or Both?) About a year ago I stopped the reflux meds and concentrated on Allergies....at first it seemed to help - I think it was wishful thinking - last month my throat was so dry I could hardly swallow....as I said yesterday I had the thing removed - today my tongue is tingling strangely, but I have a feeling that it is actually trying to go back to normal....here's hoping!!!! One more thing - I started exercising in Dec 2007....have lost about 5 kgs but for the amount of work I have done, it is nothing. I really hope that now that it is out, I will start to show something for the fitness regime I have been on the past 9 months. I'm scared of the crash that will probably come on Saturday or Sunday - I started taking 5HTP last week in preparation - I hope it helps.
