I have had my Mirena for about 16 months now and have been experi...

I just went thru something similar. 4 times I requested it to be removed and was told the same thing. They refused to remove it and said it couldnt be from the IUD. For months I kept telling them something wasnt right. I felt like I was slowly dying. Everyday something weird was happening with my body.. and functioning through the day was almost impossible. Even just cooking.. suddenly i would get dizzy or feel pain somewhere.. my breast.. a leg.. my arms.

I ended up in the hospital with my blood pressure at 199/110.. and numb on one side of my face and body.. going away as quickly as it came. They did test and found nothing. I went back to my doctor and I finally demanded they remove it and they did after a 30 minute lecture on how it cant be that.

On my way out of the clinic they asked me if I want to try the copper one **blank stare*** ?????????

I will tell you. It has been out only 1 week. I have not had one episode of dizziness, blurred visions, high blood pressure since. I am still bleeding heavy .. but compared to what I went thru its nothing.. I know that will pass. Hours after they removed it .. I already felt better. My mind is clear again.. and it feels like a fog has been lefted off of me. I cant believe I lived like that for 2 yrs.

No birth control is worth risking your life for.
