Thank you so much for this information. After a year of endless blood tests, specialists and other diagnostics with no answers I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue to label a concoction of symptoms that include dizziness, extreme fatigue (I have been a runner daily for 8 years but can no longer run), regular 'infections' akin to my vagina being on fire, irregular pap smear, difficulty orgasming (previously never a concern) and so many of the other symptoms listed above that it feels like a checklist reading this amazing site. As I work in a hospital I have undertaken extensive review of medical journals to see if any clinical studies have identified concerns with the mirena - I couldn't find any and so have dismissed my symptoms as unrelated but have always had a gut feeling about it. From being extremely active and passionate about my work, I have had to scale back and back until I now work only three days and rest for the remainder. I can't thank you enough for validating my suspicion that the mirena might be the culprit - it's the only variable my husband and I can think of since the symptoms emerged. I'm going to get this stupid thing out of me as soon as possible.
