Sweetie, listen to your body...get it OUT. Feel free to email me if you'd like at glykia@att.net. I will share with you my story, I, too got it in October of 2008 and my problems started getting increasingly WORSE right at Christmas time...Like you, I thought maybe it was other things causing my hypertension, anxiety, moodiness, crying fits, weird vision disturbances, EXHAUSTION, etc......I quit wanting to cook too....it was all I could do to get up in the morning and get my daughter off to school because I wanted to come home and get back in bed SOOOOOO Bad. I dreaded afternoon time until evening because I had to be up taking care of her again...I couldn't wait to put her to bed. It wasn't fair to me or to my family....it will be four weeks this Friday that I got that Devil out....the first week I was still exhausted but little by little after it was out I started getting back to normal. I started losing weight again, my face isn't like sandpaper anymore, the vision probs are gone...NO anxiety, BP went down, no headaches...and I have more energy than ever. Let me know if you would like to chat!!!
Do what you know is right...Listen to what that body of yours is saying, nobody knows your body better than you. Like I said to my Dr, *"I** have a PhD in Georgia (my name) and I know myself better than ANY of you... I go back Friday for a recheck because she was convinced it wasn't Mirena and thinks she needs to put me on several medications. hahahhaa
Wow, your life sounds hard to keep up with. You certainly don't need Mirena dragging you down. I got mine out last Thursday and was feeling great by Saturday. (I had it put in right before Xmas, but it didn't take long for the symptoms to arise. Luckily I figured out the source of the problem quickly). Good Luck to you. ps, my son also was in NICU w/ PPHN. That was June '07. It was a terrible time, but now he is healthy as can be, with no remaining effects - except some asthmatic symptoms. I hope the same is for your son. I'm sure you'll feel like a million bucks after that thing is gone.
ps - read entries below. If it is that bad, some people have removed it themselves. For some reason, Docs don't prioritize getting you in to take it out. Don't wait weeks to get it out. Just do it.
