I had Mirena inserted in August 2008. I enjoy the fact that I hardly have any periods at all now, but am not feeling well at all. I am 41 years old and I have always had clear skin. Since Mirena, I have had very bad acne that has abscessed on my chin twice and now I have several painful pimples under my left axilla. I have no energy and feel very fatigued. I do also feel very bloated and have gained weight. I have a history of migraines and have had an increase since I had the Mirena inserted. I have never had children and the whole insertion process was very painful. I called my OB/GYN and he felt I should see a dermatologist to treat the acne. The heck with that, I am going to have the Mirena removed. I want to feel better. 4 months of this torture is too many. I wish I would have found this site before I had the IUC placed. I don't know what other options I can try, but the Mirena is not for me.
