hi. just thought i might warn you for whatever it is worth. I have been on mirena for about 4 years. it was my answer from god sincerely because i had terrible periods. my period got so light it basically disappeared. yes!
then about 2 years ago, i started with terrible tension headaches, slowly they began to rule my life-- so that the only relief i got was going to sleep at night. only to awake with the same bandanna wrapped around my head so tight i could barely take it. but with 3 kids grown, a business to run, i figured it was stress. then i started with dizzy spells, almost falling over in the bathroom. A CT scan revealed that i had chronic sinusitis- but something i have lived with all my life. no tumor thank god. so what next-- guess what-- yes over the years the hormone from this drug has overloaded in my system. so make your own decision. was good while it lasted but it will take a while now for it to get out of my system. starting to subside. thanks.
