I thought I researched this product thoroughly, I even worked with a lady who had one inserted and she said she was just fine. My specialist said it was "new improved technology, the best on the market". So I had it inserted which apart from being poked and prodded which is never nice, and him pinching my skin, was reasonably ok. I was fine for a long time, but after a year or so I found that my quality of life was very low. I am 40 years old so put some of it down to that, I have a one year old so put some of the tiredness down to that, but whatever I did I never felt better. The iron levels in my blood are high and all other checks, i.e. thyroid, are fine so why was I suffering from: Nausea and Weight Loss (the weight loss is the only good part) Extreme Tiredness Thrush Dry Itchy Skin Dizziness and Vertigo Facial and Scalp Breakouts Greasy Hair Depression Anxiety Headaches and Migraines (I am a migraine sufferer anyway) Sore Itchy Eyes Spotting for Two Weeks (6 months of the year!). I didn't have any problems with my periods before, I had just decided to have the Mirena inserted to avoid further pregnancies. I hadn't been on any type of contraceptive pill since I was 22 years old and I now remember why I stopped taking the pill in the first place. Some days I felt great, but would then feel like I'd hit a brick wall about 4pm so would have a very strong coffee to get me through the evening. I'd then sleep like a log and wake up feeling hungover even if I hadn't drank any alcohol the night before (I may as well have and I probably would have felt better). I then decided to google 'Mirena Side Effects' and found this webpage. I discovered that thousands of women around the world are having the same problem. I got on the phone instantly and made an appointment with my Doctor to have it removed. I had the Mirena removed last Tuesday, and within a day I wasn't so tired, I didn't need a coffee to get me through the day, or a nap, and my eyes felt better. It's now been five days and I feel much calmer (no anxiety). I'm still tired from running around after my daughter but not like before the removal. I have been having crazy dreams but I assume that is just my body adjusting. It appears that the Mirena device works for some people, but just not me. If you feel this way, then have it removed - your quality of life with worth so much more. Oh, and I can drink wine now and not get migraines - yay!
