Since having the Mirena inserted 6 months ago, I have gained 30 lbs, my hands and feet swell terribly, I get headaches, suffer from insomnia, I have no sex drive, I cry all the time and other times I want to be as mean to someone as I can. I have developed heart palpitations and undergoing stress tests, ECG's, blood pressure monitoring. I have dry course skin and hair and developed acne and I either bleed or spot so have had to be monitored for low blood iron levels. I use to healthy and happy and feel like I spend all my time at appts or in hospitals. I have mentioned my beliefs concerning what the Mirena does and feel as though it reaches deaf ears. Today was a terrible struggle talking my ob/gyn into removing the Mirena. I will have to go for surgery to have it removed and have become very vocal about the Mirena overnight.

Did you get it out? I hope so I feel back to myself now and had all the same things you mention. I did not have to have surgery to get it out though. I actually did not even feel her taking it out. Much easier than putting it in!
