I had the mirena inserted on Dec 5 2005, I had bleeding for about two weeks and nothing much, up until 3 weeks ago I "loved" my Mirena, I was happy not two to have a period not that I ever had any problems with mine's. I was not until I found this site that I started to realized that my "chronic fatigue" that started in April 06, the hair falling out, sudden anxiety and panic attacks, blood pressure going off the chart for no reason 175/96, after always having low blood pressure, being put on Lexapro and Valium, feeling sad, gaining 20 pounds, not able to lose them no matter what I did, the horrible headaches, migraines and tension headaches at the same time, the fidgeting, nausea and just a general feeling of not being well, that I decided to have that thing removed. Had it removed on 1-15-09, had to be put on a beta blocker 50 milligrams twice a day to lower my blood pressure. I "cried" when I read some of the entries, I almost got diagnosed with lupus, the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me, I was given all kind of excuses, "well you are 40 now" maybe it is your family life, etc, etc, my mom whom is 74 has more energy than I do!!! Don't let anyone con you, this thing is evil, and Lord knows what kind of other damage it has done to my health. And like many of you I did have a period occasionally, I did not know when, but it was nasty smelling and brownish. Also as of late I started to feel a burning sensation on top of my vagina, I have not been intimate in over a year and had a full exam last year ;therefore, I know I done have any STDs. The headaches were the worst, I could not even comb my hair, I felt like if someone was cutting it in two. Post removal I have not had more bleeding, but I know it is quite early, either way, not having that thing, and even after taking beta blocker I have more energy than I ever had in three years. My son was born in Dec 2002 and I have never felt as tired as I felt while on Mirena. I had double vision, could not control my thoughts and everything was a major disaster, somehow I lost my ability to take control of my life, never again will I put my body through something like this
