Mirena and swollen throat

I am so glad I found this site. i had the mirena inserted in march of this year. i am having horrible side effects with the mirena. because of this iud my relationship with my amazing boyfriend is completely falling apart. I am angered by him for no reason at all. I make assumptions towards him all the time. I started to realize that i was going crazy when he surprised me with an amazing new car, and all i could do was complain, and treat him like crap. i feel lousy for the way i have been treating him. I have felt that he is the one to blame. I now realize it is the mirena that is making me paranoid, and mean. I am going through a horrible depression, when actually I am a very happy upbeat person. I am tired all the time. I am moody, and I explode a rage of anger on people all the time, from my mother to my coworkers, and my boyfriend. Right now i feel so guilty for not realizing that i have been the problem all along. I also have bad memory loss. which is very unusual for me. I am known for my great memory. My school work suffered because i was sleeping through homework assignments, and class. i am bloated, and swollen every day. I am also gaining alot of weight. at first i was using diet and exercise, but with no results, and weight gain during the diets, I have given up and have been giving into my cravings. for the past month i have thought i was pregnant due to tummy flutters, lack of bleeding, crying a lot, and cravings. after taking a pregnancy test that came out negative i decided to do some research, and found this site. I also have headache, swollen throat, and vomiting. I am a very healthy person so this is also unusual. i am getting acne which has never been a problem, and am also getting back pain. I am calling my doctor in the morning to get this thing removed asap. i can not take these side effects any longer. i just hope that I have not lost my soul mate due to this stupid iud. does anyone know how long it takes for these side effects to stop after removal of mirena? I really just want to be my normal happy self again.

HI - I had my Mirena removed yesterday. I had it inserted on Valentines Day 2006 - so 2 and a half years. A week after having it inserted I woke up one morning sweating and shaking like a mad woman....also starting Vomiting and then fainted. I went to my OB/Gyn and he told me that I had a virus and it was nothing to do with the mirena...Hmmm???? In hindsight (yes I know hind sight is 20/20) I have to say I am sure that I didn't have a virus - I think it was some kind of shock reaction to the Mirena - 12 weeks after having it put in I threw my boyfriend out - he just started getting on my nerves!!!....and every month or so I have been getting a severe dry swollen throat they have been getting progressively worse over the past 2 years - once again my doctor told me it was nothing to do with the Mirena, but that I had reflux...or allergies....The reflux medication that I took for a year nearly stopped my natural stomach acid production - so I swelled up (was it the reflux medication or the Mirena?? or Both?) About a year ago I stopped the reflux meds and concentrated on Allergies....at first it seemed to help - I think it was wishful thinking - last month my throat was so dry I could hardly swallow....as I said yesterday I had the thing removed - today my tongue is tingling strangely, but I have a feeling that it is actually trying to go back to normal....here's hoping!!!!
One more thing - I started exercising in Dec 2007....have lost about 5 kgs but for the amount of work I have done, it is nothing. I really hope that now that it is out, I will start to show something for the fitness regime I have been on the past 9 months.
I'm scared of the crash that will probably come on Saturday or Sunday - I started taking 5HTP last week in preparation - I hope it helps.
