After having my third child in Aug 08 I wanted to try the mirena since I always forgot to take the pill. I have 3 friends that have this piece if crap it and they are fine but me I feel like I'm going down hill. I had it inserted on thanksgiving eve 08 and about two weeks later I started with a rash on my neck, shoulder, and arm. My doctor told me it was the shingles. He also did blood work on me cause I haven't been in the doctors in awhile and my test came back that I had severe hypothyroidism in which I didn't feel any symptoms of it. My doctor started me on 100mcg of levothyroxin and every since than its been down hill. He decreased my amount to 50mcg due to heart palpitations, anxiety, depression, diarrhea, weakness, muscle aches (especially in the neck and shoulders) and fatigue. I really wonder if the Mirena cause my thyroid to be out of wack and currently even with only a week of being on 50mcg I am experiencing anxiety everyday that my doctor prescribed me Xanax in which I was scared to take because I do not do drugs. After reading all these forums I am having mine removed on Tuesday Feb 3rd and hopefully this is really the cause of my problems. Has anyone else experience the same as me. I hate not feeling myself and not being able to take full care of my children. This sucks and the Mirena should be off the market.
