I had Mirena put in about six months ago. My experience with Mirena was not well. I finally had it taken out today after finally feeling like I wasn't in full control of my body. The sickness, headaches (which I've never had headaches before), bleeding for long periods of time, dizziness, tightness in my chest, sever anxiety (I never had this issue before), weight gain (never an issue before), lack of energy, etc. The list could go on. I've always been an upward looking type gal, always happy, always looking for the silver lining. The last few months have gotten worse with depression. I didn't realize it until a few days ago I just couldn't breath at work, I wanted to cry over nothing and I felt hopeless. I've always been emotionally strong and mentally strong. It wasn't until I felt completely down and out over nothing that I started realizing the small changes that had been happening over the last few months. Lets hope life gets back to normal. I drinking lots of water the next few days to get all the chemicals out of my body. I have five kids. I'll have five more before I allow a drug to invade my body like this one did again.
