I finally had the Mirena IUD removed on March 24, 2009. The drive home, I could even feel the anxiety leaving my body. Although that night I did experience high fever and flu like symptoms. They were horrible, I was shaking, cold, and just felt awful. The symptoms however, were gone by the next morning.
It has only been three weeks, but I have been able to start breathing better, not completely gone, but it will take time. I however, don't want to hide from society, scream at people, and I just feel much happier. It is a slow road to getting rid of all the medications, and hormones in my body. So I would suggest to anyone, about a week after removing, do a body cleanse at least for three days. I do the Master Cleanser, it works great.
I am on the road to being myself again! My husband has noticed, and my daughter doesn't get yelled at that much, she's only 2.
More to come as time goes by
