I also forgot to add I have been getting painful large pimples on and under my chin, on my back, my face has gotten extremely oily, I have never had oily skin. I haven't had this much trouble with my complexion since middle school.
I did some research and I'm shocked at what i found. There was a device called Norplant that placed the exact same hormone Levonorgestrel under the arm, the Mirena releases it from the IUD. Anyways they no longer sell the Norplant in US and UK. Wonder why? There was a 50,000 person class action suit, that's why! They never excepted blame as they state they properly warned the user, but they settled 36,000 case with cash out of court.
At least they warned the user of anxiety and numbness, hairloss, acne, but not the mirena, no mention of these symptoms. It goes on................... the story only gets more interesting. So i did more research casue basicly the Norplant and Mirena both sound so similar. They are both forms of birth control using the same synthetic hormone "Levonorgestrel" , only difference mine was insurted into the uterous and Norplant in the arm. The symptoms i'm suffering from are all listed as warnings on Norplant but not Mirena, funny though they stopped selling Norplant. This gives me more proof that i'm on the right track.
So i research the company that made the Norplant, and here's a big surprize, yup is the same people that worked on the development of the Mirena. Yet i'm sure i won't get a doctor to make any connection and basicly deny any chance that the Mirena could be responsible for my condition. They wouldn't be able to deny my condition if the Levonorgestrel was placed under my arm, but apparently they can't see a corrilation if it is released in my uterous?
I'm just glad its out of me.
