Hi, Ladies, Thank you for this website. I used to be the picture of health. But then I had my Mirena inserted about 3 weeks ago. Ten days later I started experiencing high blood pressure, sporadic numbness in my arms and legs and dizziness. I told my doctor that I wanted it out and he said it wasn't the IUD. I explained how other women are experiencing the same side effects. He said, "There are scientific studies....." totally negating your voices. Then he lectured me about problems with the Internet knowing full well that I am a teacher. But, he said he wouldn't argue with me. I'm scheduled to have it out tomorrow at 8:00. What can we do to get this removed from the market?

I had mine removed today. I had been experiencing those symptoms as well as nervousness and mood changes not long after I had the IUD placed. I am so happy to have it out and am hoping that I will soon stop having the naseau, headaches, and dizziness that I have had for months. I wish you the best of luck. I am sure that we could start a petition to the FDA
