I had my mirena taken out on oct. 15 (placed on aug. 8) and my doc, like many of the other posts, behaved as though i were simply a hysterical female and said that NO ONE complains about it. I told him that i'd had lower back pain, loss of sex drive, fatigue, swollen breasts, nausea, stomach poking out, terrible smell, weight gain, mood swings, headache, achy feet, numbness on my face and dizziness. here's what's so sad, we are all so brainwashed by the current state of medical care in our country that we don't even think it's strange to be ignored for a flurry of symptoms. i mean, if he was so convinced that it WASN'T the mirena causing the problems, then why didn't he address the problems?! what's worse, it took me several days to even realize that my symptoms had been completely ignored! anyway, i'm still having the back pain and my cervix was sore when having sex the other day. i'm having weird abdominal cramps and am still very tired and moody and eating us out of house and home. i am hoping this will stop by thanksgiving.

Isn't this unbelievable? I get so angry thinking about these doctors. Anyway, I too have such a big appetite and the hormone will stay with you from what I understand. I had mine removed on October 7th, just starting to feel a little better. Good luck to you.

I totally understand ... I had my mirena put in about three weeks ago, and i had the same simptoms and did not know why. I thought that maybe a eat a little more than normal one day... then the next day, but I was so full all the time. My sex drive is like minus 50, my nipples hurt, and then about two days ago it just crossed my mind that maybe because of the mirena i feel this way and that i gained about 3 lbs in three weeks. So, i went in asap and took it out. Now my problem is that I want my money back.... The doc said that is not really possible from them, just if I go to the mirena people. My husband is mad that I paid $350 for three weeks of bleeding, pain and yeast infection... and no sex.
Anyway, does anyone has any idea from where I can get my money back?
