Another update: I had my 2nd Mirena in for 14 months and had it removed Valentines day.. 12 days ago. In the first 5 days my energy is back to normal.. if not above, my mood is euphoric compared to angry and sad all the time.. joint pains are gone. My appetite is half of what is was and I'm not craving junk food and chocolate anymore. i used to hide in the pantry and eat peanut butter & chocolate chips most of the afternoons. Since the Mirena was removed, I've lost 5 pounds! My sex drive was nil for the last 3 years (with 2 pregnancies and 2 mirenas) and now I make my husband come home early for an afternooner, and today i needed it twice! No more dryness.. exactly the opposite. Can throw out the lube..lol. Never needed it before Mirena and don't anymore. I fell out of love with my husband when we were married in 2005 and have been angry with him and unattracted to him since. The last few days, I just look at him and I get turned on. I can't believe we payed thousands of dollars on marriage counselling, and our biggest problem was this stupid IUD! I'm so happy to be alive again! I owe it to everyone here who has shared their stories.
