The mirena coil has destroyed my relationship. At the beginning my partner told me he could feel it and it hurt us both. But when i told the doctor he said my partner was making it up as it is not possible to feel it. Im made to feel like a liar, and im sick and tired of them lying to me. I get sharp stabbing pain all the time, every day where the coil is. Sometimes i can not sit down as it hurts so much. I have no sex drive, i also get this weird pain at the top of my left leg near the fallopian tube. I bleed almost everyday and have constant cramps. Which is causing my spine to curve, due to not been able to sit up properly. My partner has left me as it has been going on for 3 years. I can not even begin to start a new relationship as sex is very painful and i bleed heavily afterwards, which lasts for weeks. I have a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos vascular syndrome. And the hormones that are in the mirena coil react to my condition and i shouldn't be having the this coil. But my Dr refuses to take it out. I am deeply depressed by this as my life has been ruined by the mirena. I also suffer with headaches and i burn up and i start to sweat quite bad. Which can be very embarrassing. I didn't really want the mirena but i was pushed into by my doctors, as they thought they knew best. I told them that it wasn't recommended as i have EDVS. But they don't care what i think. I have begged for them to take it out but they will not do it. Im at my wits end as i don't know what to do anymore. I am 33 years old with a disable son to look after. And it can interfere with me looking after him as the pain gets too much. I want it out and i want my life back before i have no life left! Ladies please do your homework before making any choices. Dr's are not super human and they do not know everything. They are only human and make mistakes just like anyone else.
