OMG, thank goodness I found this site and have been able to confirm my suspicions. I had my mirena inserted 5 months ago, god how excruciating. It wasn't long after I noticed how tired I was feeling. Non stop spotting, smelly awful brown discharge. I am finding it very hard to motivate myself at work, even workmates have said I'm just no myself and haven't been since I got the Mirena. I feel nausea every day, sore joints, TIRED TIRED TIRED...... and HUNGRY like I'm pregnant. I thought I was experiencing the start of menopause with hot flushes. I can't seem to concentrate on anything, constantly loosing things or cant find them. Not to mention the aching abdomen, the bloated stomach. I'm waiting for an appointment at the breast clinic because of constant breast pain... on and on it goes.. I went back to the Dr. who assured me it wasn't likely to be caused by the Mirena.... blah blah blah but I made an appointment today to get them to take it out... and tonight I'm glad I did after reading this site. Now I am totally convinced that the hormone levonorgestrel doesn't agree with me at all. Why won't the medical practitioners listen???? do they get paid a commission for each one they fit?? I'm not sure but listen to your bodies ladies and look after them.

Update, I have had my Mirena removed and have noticed my skin improved within 2 days, still very tired but that could be due to the hell of a period I've had ever since. I guess I will have to wait and see after the period has gone if the bloating subsides, but I have had no period pain, no dull ache..... no sharp pains and I just feel better. So far so good.
