I had my Mirena placed in the first of may, it was very very very painful. The following months I had spotting and bleeding EVERY day, I had no energy what so ever. Some days I even felt pregnant, and not to mention my face, I looked like a teenager again, horrible acne! Then I started having this tingling and stinging sensation in my hands and feet, I googled it and all I could find was MS(multiple sclerosis)! In shock I did a search in English(I'm from Norway) and found that I was NOT the only one having MS symptoms with the Mirena! I had the Mirena removed this week, but I still have the symptoms, but I guess it takes a little time for the hormones to leave the body completely!! My boyfriend said to me "let`s hope you didn't get MS from the Mirena".. And I am of course terrified... I have an appointment with the doctor at the end of the week! I just don't think that this is a coincident!

OOH! It's not! I have posted here before, but it's been awhile. I am MIRENA FREE since April 30, 2009 with MS symptoms. I am a healthy 35 year old who is active and no health problems until Mirena. I had tingling in lips, ears, hands and feet, lower back pain and bloating. I had several tests: MRI of spine, x-rays, blood work and a VEP (Vision Evoked Potential)-specifically to rule out MS ...All came back Negative Thank god I continue to pray because I am still having some tingling, but it's 80% than when I had the mirena in!!! It's very frusterating! Try to think positive and get teh mirena out ASAP!!!!! Your Dr's will definitely not think it's the mirena, but it's your body and removing it will HELP!!!! What exactly are your symptoms?? Another great website I have discovered is Curezone.com ....the mirena Forum.
