I had my Mirena put in 10/08 at the end of my period, after having my youngest in September 2008. I had bleeding for about 6 months daily, heavy at first and then just enough to be annoying. I had some random nausea during the bleeding period. Since the bleeding stopped in May 2009 all the wonderful symptoms started. I suffered from nausea and bloating every day, all day until just last week. Then last week the nausea went away (mostly) and the constipation started. What a nice trade off. We were in Wisconsin Dells the past few days and I started experiencing pain/numbness in my hands that went to my elbows and at times to my shoulders. I don't know if this is related to the Mirena or pushing a heavy double stroller all over and up big hills. I have had pain/aches under my armpits right next to my breasts for a month now too, along with shoulder and collar bone pain. There is occasionally pain in my breasts similar to the letdown pain I experienced while nursing ( stopped month ago.) I had an ultrasound last Tuesday and the Mirena in in the right place and I am definitely not pregnant. My ob/gyn told me to follow up with my PCP as none of these were Mirena symptoms including the nausea. My PCP gave me a stool softener and did a chest xray which was normal. I was beginning to think I was dying or had some deadly disease until I found this website. Oh yeah I forgot to mention the awful headaches I've been getting on and off, I think looking back mostly at the beginning/ middle of my cycle. I still have spotting on and off and get a really light period every 21- 26 days. The minor things I have noticed are oily hair, light acne and irritability. I have an appointment to have the Mirena taken out next Monday. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms together? Also could somebody please tell me more about the Mirena Crash? My ob/gyn just said to expect a long heavy period. I want to know how long it will take to feel normal if these issues are Mirena related. I would love to get some opinions from other Mirena users. My email address is ****** Thanks!
