I had the Mirena coil inserted April 2008.At the beginning of June 2008 i was starting to get pain in the loin area in both sides. A few weeks went by and i woke up one morning in absolute agony,vomiting and breaking out in sweat. I had to call my GP who thought that it was either a kidney infection or stones. I was prescribed antibiotics which relieved it slightly but the loin pain was always there just not as severe. In July the pain got worse so i was sent for a CT scan which came back normal. I also had blood tests and urine tests. Urine tests showed infection or blood in urine.Sept the pain got so bad that i was hospitalized for a few days and had a scan which again was normal but blood in urine. Was told kidney infection and put on more antibiotics. Also since June had been suffering terrible Anxiety,mood swings, low self esteem,tiredness and worrying about absolutely everything that i could not sleep at nights. I had a few sessions of counseling to try and combat those feelings. I also have terrible acne on my face and neck but not just pimples, they were more like boils which is not a good look especially for a 41 year old women! Then there was the weight gain. I`ve always been a healthy eater and workout 5-6 times a week at the gym but since June last year have put on 10lbs! I just feel so bloated and clothes that were loose on me are now too tight. I`m the heaviest i`ve ever been and so fed up about it as i`ve always been a size 8-10 but now 12-14.After reading this forum and recovering from yet another UTI from last week, i decided to book appoint to have my coil removed this morning. It will interesting to see if the above symptoms stop.Will let you know how things go.

That is amazing because I went through the same exact problems from the Mirena. I had it removed and feel better. I start having stomach pains again about a month ago so I have an appointment today.
