I had the Mirena put in 6 months ago. Since that time I have experienced waves of nausea, heart palpitations, excessive weight gain, depression, moody, foggy thinking, no sex drive, continual bleeding and more aches and pains than I can shake a stick at. I spent 5 hrs in the hospital yesterday after having heart palpitations and thinking I was going to die. I have a heart time breathing as well. I asked my ob/gyn to remove it but she talked me out of it. I finally had enough and don't care about those with "well meaning" advice. I'm getting it taken out tomorrow and tell every women I know stay as far from the Mirena as possible. I'm so glad there are these sites to share experiences with other women, it makes you feel as those you aren't alone. The pharmaceutical companies should be held accountable for what the Mirena has done to women.

i have a thyroid disorder. since september 2008 i have been dealing with thyroid issues. these caused head aches..and migraines. i have been on many drugs for the pain. i have gained a total of 20 lbs since then. i have NOT been on birthcontrol for almost a year. i have not had a normal period. last friday i started to bleed.. and soak a pad every hour and a half. for 3 days this happened. i went to the emergency room they told me to follow up with my OB b/c they saw nothing wrong. I should say i had highblood pressure the two days before 155-94 and felt like i was going to die. my dr has told me b/c of my migraines..and heart issues (im off the migraine meds b/c of my heart issues) i only have two choices. mirena..or sterilization to stop the heavy bleeding.. from reading these posts.. i think ill opt for the heavy bleeding until im either ready to have kids..or get to old to not want them anymore. im 30 now.
