You are suffering, aren't you!
This part stood out for me "I constantly struggle for air, which cause’s panic, heart palpitations, and anxiety" that is EXACTLY what I began to experience 6 weeks into the Mirena. 2 weeks later I had it out & have had the anxiety feeling on & off for the last few weeks, but it seems to be abaiting now.
I hope you get better soon!
I got goose bumps when I read your posting...I felt like I wrote it. EVERYTHING you wrote, I have experienced! I have an appointment to have mine removed in 2 days. Thank you for sharing your story. Thanks to you and everyone else who has written about their experience, I was able to figure out what has made me so crazy and now I can finally have my life back. Thank you and good luck!!
Go get the flippin thing removed! You are having a really bad reaction to the hormone. I was eventually told by a nurse at my practice that my body cannot tolerate the hormone in the Mirena and that it needs to be put on my notes. I experienced everything you've mentioned and more and actually ended up in A & E several times due to toxic shock symptoms, not being able to breathe being most distressing. As soon as I demanded i wanted it out as a process of eliminating the causes for my severe symptoms and had it removed, I began to feel much, much better from day one. And I emphasise the word DEMAND as they would not have it that this coil was making me ill. I'd had the worst year of my life and no-one at my Practice managed to diagnose the Mirena as the cause of all my suffering. It's been 6 mnths since I had it removed and every day since, I feel more and more like the old me and not a complete alien. I really feel for you and hope that you've taken steps or are in the process of getting it removed.
