My daughter-in-law had the Mirena inserted November 2008, when my grandson was about 7 weeks old. Our lives have been hell since, after months of headaches,nausea, fatigue,and just always pale, weak and lethargic. Many trips to Doctor's and hospitals, never any answers. March 12th 2009 blood test showed kidney failure, low hemoglobin requiring transfusions, and platelets so low they had to do plasma exchange every day for almost a month. Our answer TTP, this is a very rare blood disorder- in this case caused by the mirena IUD. 32 days in the hospital, after the Mirena was finally removed on day 26 her counts returned to normal ..with tons of lasting effects she came home, she lost her kidneys from damage that went on to long for her body to take, she is 20 and will never have another child, and continues to have lasting heart problems, as well as needing a kidney transplant. Please know that those of you who have it who have never had a child, that's not supposed to happen, its only recommended for women who have had a child. The list of side effects and who should and who shouldn't have it is not getting to the patient. Here is a link to a petition I found and continue to forward and post everywhere I can. Please keep this going so we can get the FDA to take this poison off the market. ******
