I just wan to say thank you so much to all of you who posted your comments on this site. I am a mother of 2 toddlers, I had Mirena inserted in April, 2008. And since then my life has changed for the worse. I too suffer from the acne, which I never had before (ok I had the odd zit here and there), it hurts. The bloating that makes me look pregnant, the unexplained weight gain ( I was 135lbs before Mirena, and now I am 144lbs).It doesn't make sense because I exercise regularly. The feeling of being anxious all of the time. But the worst part for me is the mood swings and depression. I cry all of the time. I go in fits of rage. It makes me feel like a horrible wife and mother when I see my children and husband looking at me like what is wrong with you. I have a great life, and before I stared on Mirena I was very happy, self confident, kind, caring, I was a totally a different person then who I am today. I went to the doctors last night and finally had it TAKEN OUT. Because I want my life back and I want to fell in control of my life again. If it wasn't for this site I would have thought I was losing my mind. I will give you an update in a week or two to tell you how I feel since it has been out. So once again thank you all for sharing your stories and helping me realize that I wasn't alone. C. G.
