I LOVE my Mirena!!!!!! I don't know who you all are out there co...

You have been lucky, then....and I hope it stays that way for you. For the rest of us, it has not been that way. Besides all the other side effects, I had cystic acne for the first time in my life....if I rolled over onto my face in the middle of the night the pain of touching it would wake me up! I did not have this before the Mirena and within a month of removal, it cleared up completely and has never returned. It WAS the Mirena! And I, too, spent good money on Proactive, which did NOTHING as this was hormonal (caused by the Progestin), which Proactive will NOT touch. Cystic acne at 43?? Give me a break! Glad it's gone. At least you will know if you start having symptoms later on.

I loved it too untill i had the 3rd on put in.
I have had many of the problems and just put it down to something else.
Now i have sight problems due to fluid in my brain caused by progesterone

well that is a wonderful thing to enjoy your mirena so much. i dont know if you know this or not but everybody's body is different and reacts differently when we put things in it. i tell i probably wouldve have felt the same as you up until this past week when i found myself with a migrane headace that wouldnt go away taking four to six tylenol 3s a day and still no relief and the doctors saying oh everythings alright trying to make you think your crazy. tonight the first sign of relief i had me and the hubby decided we were going to be intimate well the mirena had another plan for us! i had to push him off of me i was in soo much pain i would rather have contractions at 10 centimeters than the pain i experienced tonight! i thought i was dying i was not only freaking myself out but my family too!! this was the scariest thing i have ever experienced in my life!!! and i have had the mirena for over a yr now and it never really bothered me until now, when i found this site and hear all of these helpless women like myself feeling the same way!!!! like i said had it been a yr ago or maybe even a wk ago i wouldve felt the same as you, but i would never have put it out there like you did like ALL of these many, many women with the same problem are just going crazy! i hope and pray you never have to experience the kind of pain i felt tonight or the migranes i had on mon and tue. just keep your comments to yourself and thank God that it isnt you!!!!!!
