My story about the Mirena started from 2002. I had my seconnd Mirena placed 2 years ago. Having them put in and taken out are extremely painful you need way more then advil I had to take painkillers given to me by my doctor. I never knew about all the side effects I was never told and now know that everything that has happened to me is because of the mirena thanks to your blogs and my doctor. The first problem was serious stomach issues so bad that they had to remove my galbladder. Well that didn't work so I have had 2 upper g-i's and 5 colonoscopies the last one they found colitis which they could not explain why I had it. I still have stomach issues so bad that I run to the bathroom after eating. With all that being said you think I would lose weight well no I have gained 15 pounds since the last one was placed. My heart I have had an extremely fast heart beat since having the mirena so fast that I have passed out numerous times; the cardiologist said its definitely hormonal but would never tell it was from the mirena. I went through 22 different tests for my heart, evern wore a monitor for an entire month. Sex drive is not there, I never am in the mood. Exhausted I am constantly tired I have to fight laying in bed, but at night I can not fall asleep even on prescribed pills only get about 4 hours of sleep; before the mirena I could sleep 10 hours with no problem. Last but not least is the headaches and neck pain they have been so bad I have had 5 nerve blocks since having the mirena. I have gone into the hospital 3 times since 2002 for severe headaches which they have run every test known to man on me and can not tell me what I have. I have had to recieve iv therapy for the migraines that you can only receive in the hospital with a nurse watching you for 48 hours since you have to receive 3 doses of it. I could not walk, talk, or even look at light. My stays at the hospital have ranged from 3 to 7 days. I have gone to specialist after specialist and no one would tell me the truth or knew what to tell me. Finally 3 weeks ago I went to the neurologist and he told me straight out after looking over my medical history and speaking with me that without a doubt it was from the Mirena. After 7 years,11 specialists, my galbladder being removed, numerous hospital visits, and endless procedures I finally know the truth. I hope people read my story and think twice about using mirena; you could end up like me. I am only 28 years old, married with twin daughters. I have had to live like this for 7 years; I will never get that time back but once I have this removed I know I will have my life back.
