Hello, I posted earlier and here is an update "POST MIRENA" It hurt for only about 20 seconds and it was over. EASY You can do it! I had the mirena put in Oct. 2007 and nursed my daughter for a year until Sept. 2008. Just the last 6 weeks started having these symptoms and went to my MD/Osteopath because when I called my OB-GYN she said it has nothing to do with the mirena and to see my regular MD. He has been fabulous and I have had several tests that I have listed as well as taken the mirena out! My symptoms: Lower back pain tingling in my arms, feet and lips cramps low energy I had my mirena taken out on April 30, 2009 and am just starting to feel better post mirena. I had these tests: * MRI on back/spine * MS test(Vision Evoked Potential) *blood work *Thyroid (it's been low since Oct. so I'm taking Synthroid) *Vitamin D ALL NEGATIVE ...Thankfully!:) You never know....I just pray I continue to improve and get my life back and feel healthy!:)) From other posts it sounds like it takes a little while. Does this sound familiar? Please respond....

I had mine removed mid-February. I hve a new doc that told me it would take up to 18 months to get all of the progesterone out of my system. My symptoms were:
zero sex drive
very low energy (tried to nap all the time and cried when I couldn't; I have 2 small children)
short temper and angry with my husband all the time
back pain
hair loss
weight gain and binge eating
depression
moodiness
very dry burning eyes
insomnia
Joint pain in my limbs (esp. wrists, knees and ankles)

Since removal, I haven't wanted even one nap!
My hair is growing in thick again.
I am happier!
I have lost 15 lbs! (if i lose any more I will be a rail!)

I still have spells of depression & moodiness. My sex drive is not back yet; it was right after removal for about 2 weeks, and now it's just blah... I still have joint and now muscle pain (may be unrelated..?)

Best of luck. Keep us posted!!
