I had my Mirena inserted on 7/22 and I'm getting it taken out tomorrow (8/4)! This product needs to be taken off the market. I have already reported it to the FDA. I am a total picture of health (25 years old at 150 pounds at 5'11")--eat the right foods, exercise almost daily, no other medications,etc. Since having this thing inserted two weeks ago, I have felt TERRIBLE! Symptoms include: stabbing pains in the legs and hips, joint pains especially in the wrists, headaches, backaches, uterus pain especially in the right side (but left side as well), tingling in many parts of the body (toes, face, abdomen, legs, and arms), nausea, no libido, and blurry vision. I was fine with spotting (this is the only side effect that the doc mentioned), but the other side effects are ridiculous! This needs to be taken off the market immediately, so that other women do not suffer. I will gladly take a pill everyday to get this thing out of me!!

Wow that's crazy, I have it for over an year and have no side effects like that, there must have been some infection that happened while getting it placed. I have no side effects beside a slight period every few months which is great, libido is normal, and no pregnancy, so it's all good for me, sorry that happened to you.
