I got mirena in January of 08, so I have had it about a year now. I have had constant depression, fatigue and chronic headaches. My eyes are are starting to ache now and I am having abdominal pain as well. I get this very odd tingling sensation through my whole body. I have been to so many doctors and like everyone else, all the sudden thought is it mirena? I called to make an appointment to get it taken out, still waiting for the call back. Please anyone write back and let me know if you experience this weird tingling and eye pain. I have also started to have anxiety and panic attacks as well. They put me on Valium and all sorts of stuff. I have anxiety because no one can explain all of these symptoms. I constantly just feel tired and angry. I hope when I get this out I can be NORMAL again.

I had it put in four years ago. Lately I have been feeling not myself. Always feel tired and I think I am seeing things. I also feel more emotional than usual but I'm not depressed. I have also been having headache and I never get headaches. I just feel lost inside. Just not myself. Could it be the mirena or am I going crazy.

I had the tingling, mostly in my face, head and left foot...it was really strange. I also had the anxiety thing for the first time in my life. As it turns out, it was due to lack of estrogen...the progestin in the Mirena, which they claim stays local (but it does NOT, my blood tests showed that!!) caused a hormonal imbalance. It has taken 11 months to get back to normal for me. Good luck to you.....if your experience is anything like mine, you will feel better day by day, some things just take a little longer to work out. I only had mine for 5 months!!

Yes I have the tingling too and kept wondering what the heck it was. I NEVER related it to the Mirena! It is in my pelvis and runs to the left side and down my left leg. My eyes dont hurt but I have TERRIBLE twitching in both and it has been chronic non stop since about 2 months after I got the Mirena put in.

I too had the tingling mostly on my left arm and right shoulders. I also had severe vision changes - delayed focus time when I looked up from reading and my distance vision was very poor. I would say the Mirena is causing your problems based on what I experienced! Good luck!
