FINALLY I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT INSANE!!!!!!!!! I am 27 years and had my Mirena inserted 2 months after my son was born. It has been over a year and I feel so crappy at times I don't know how i get through the day. I have been feeling apprehensive about removing it and thought maybe all of these symptoms have nothing to do with Mirena. I feel dizzy at times like I am drunk, mood swings, my hair is thinning out, i look like I am 9mon pregnant especially when i am PMSing, and have gained weight around the middle section, I don't feel attractive anymore, i don't feel good wearing clothes I once looked good in and always have to wear girdles which do not always work. I have always had acne but now it is ten times worst. I was a very sexual person but now it sucks. It hurts sometimes and I am very dry down there and that is not like me. I have leg cramps every now and then. I am gassy constantly and bloated, which I thought was because of my acid reflux (which existed before mirena). My breast hurt and gets swollen, sometimes one even looks bigger than the next. I just basically feel like I am having an out of body experience and not in a good way. My boyfriend has been nagging me to remove it if I feel so bad, but I am sacred that if I do and the symptoms still persist then what. I have spoken to my gyn so many times about this and he keeps insisting it is not the mirena. He has recently sent me for some lab work related to my breast pain and prescribed some medication to dry out my breast milk, but I have decided against it. Now after reading this site, I definitely am not going to waste money doing this, I am just going to be adamant about it and go get it removed. To think I am a nurse I should know better but I guess I am a woman first. I AM HAPPY I DO NOT FEEL ALONE ANYMORE. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS THIS REMOVED AFTER ALL THOSE SYMPTOMS TELL ME HOW THINGS HAS CHANGED FOR YOU. PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE. SINCERELY, WANNA GET RID OF MIRENA IN THE VI

I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this. I had my mirena removed two weeks ago and it was painless. I was so scared it was going to be the same as when it was inserted. I can tell you that I spotted for two days no cramps at all and I had my libido back. I felt like I was back to normal finally. Although I did have sometimes where I felt like someone in my family just died. I was so depressed I would cry at anything. It is just because your hormones are trying to go back to normal and they are all out of wack from not having a period in so long. Now grant it not every woman's body is the same so do not take word for word from what I am telling you but I can certainly assure you that you will feel 100% better a couple weeks after it is removed or if you are one of the lucky ones, right after. I hope that helped you and good luck with everything hun!
