I have had my Mirena for about nearly 8 years now and have been experiencing all of the below listed side effects. Headaches, Blurred Vision, Dizziness, Back Aches, , Hair thinning, Mood Swings, Loss of Sex Drive, and the newest thing.my option picked up some worrying eye problems. I have been to a specialist and he wants me to have an urgent cat scan I have seen that this problem he thinks it is pseudotumour cerebri but can not rule out the dreaded brain tumor.On reading up about pseudotumour have found it connected to the Mirena coil.I put the other problems down to pre menopause or just a problem with my contact lens/prescription needing renewing. Anybody have any thoughts or experience of this?

The trouuble is i had it for really heavy period problems that were going on for 3 weeks at a time and it did the job really well.I t stopped it instantly and i haven't had a period since.I sang the praises of Mirena for years and it was worth the unpleasent removal and re-insertion.
I know that they are going to close ranks if the mirena has caused these problems.I am worried sick about the outcome of my cat scan and also worried about coping with the period problems i had before returning if i have it removed .Don't know if i can cope with both.
