Hi all! Well I got my mirena taken out on Wednesday. The Dr. was...

I got my Mirena taken out on friday 4/24/09, i agree i feel like i can get my life back now. I also gained a lot of weight after having my son, try 80 pounds. I am now on Quasense, hopefully this will be better for me, because my husband and I are not wanting to have any more children at this present time.

Hello, I just read your posting and I hope you are starting to feel like yourself again! I am have alot of the same symptoms as you. I had a MRI on my spine and x-rays...negative. Did you have any tingling or itching on your hands, feet or lips?? Let me know ASAP as I have an apt. to get the Mirena taken out this Thurday. I have had it in for 17 months. Just started having alot if side effects this last month. (back pain, tingling in hands, feet and lips, aches and pains that come and go! I'm a very healthy 35 year old with a 20 month old who is very active!

Hey there,
I'm so happy your Dr was nice to you and you had it removed. Thank you for your post. I still have mine and have had bad experiences since mine also. Here lately I've been dizzy also all the time and tired and hip and leg muscle swollen. I also have been back and forth to Dr's trying to find solutions for my problems. I'm only told fluid in ears and pinch nerve!!! lol
Whatever!!! I have also noticed that my eyes are very light sensitive, and my contacts seem to be blurry and I see spots often.
I'm getting my removed as soon as my husband agrees to him getting fixed.ha,ha
thanks for your post!!! I wish you well and know that you will start feeling better and yourself soon!!!!

Thanks for the replies. Princess I know I would have been at the 80 lb. gain mark in no time if I would've kept it in. I've lost 6 lbs. in the last 5 days no dieting. Yes Lisa I did have horrible tingling in my right arm and fingers stopped since its been out. I was every day! Isabelle I had bad hip pain as well similer to sciatica. I went in for that as well. This has been in and out of the dr. offices trying to figure figure out whats wrong with me. I was convinced my children where going to have to grow up without there mom because of coarse I was dying. Turns out NOT!!! I am mad!!! Im really mad at the dr. who I was in his office waiting to find out whats wrong he takes out this paper and hands it to me and tells me to call one of the shrinks on it!! Im going to copy this site down and bring it to him!!!! Quack!!!
