Hi, my name is Eva and I am 27 years old.
I am a mother of 2 and had Mirena IUD inserted a few months after my 2nd daughter was born. This was 3 1/2 years ago.
Since then I have developed Eczema on my hands (which is the least of my concerns). More importantly I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease (hyperactive thyroid function) last year.
I had developed a goiter on my neck (enlarged Thyroid) , my hair was very brittle & my eyes were always dry and itchy.
Since then I have undergone Radioactive iodine treatment to destroy my thyroid. Reading all of your posts seriously made me angry and I teared up because I definitely think that there is a link between Mirena and thyroid problems. It makes sense that your body would try and fight off any foreign object in your body and maybe that send the thyroid into a out of whack mode ?
I am currently researching if there are any clinical studies out there on this possible connection. If anyone would like to join me - pls. contact me at ******
I have an appointment to have my Mirena removed in a few days, I sincerely hope that it will make a difference in my health.
Best regards,
E.

I've had the Mirena in for about 7 months just after my second child.... I haven't stopped spotting/bleeding since.... Its horrible. I have had the most intense headaches, to a point where I feel I cannot function. The pain so bad... It has almost dropped me to the floor.
I am constantly struggling to focus. I cry all the time. Yet have a void of emotion. I am struggling to enjoy the simple pleasures I used to enjoy. My libido...... well what can I say...... I have none....!! at first it was just an effort for my partner to begin intercourse with me.... and I would soon enough begin to enjoy it.... But lately I'm finding it hard to enjoy it at all.
I feel disgusting most of the time.... I have had odor problems... and then there's the constant bleeding!!
I feel unattractive! I feel bloated.
And I am about to start seeing a bowen therapist to help me with my structure. The joints in my sternum keep cracking.... and until I read all of this site... I didn't even begin to think that it could possibly be related.....!!!
I have also had serious suicidal thoughts.
I WANT THIS THING OUT!!!
