Mirena and wt loss

age 48 - after having no period last summer into fall and then suddenly it returning full force with no end in sight I had numerous scans that found my ute the size of a five mo. preg. and multiple fibroids. Really not in the mood for a hysterectomy I asked my doctor what other options I had. She did a D&C and Mirena placement in the hosp. end of Nov. '07. Things were fine for a few weeks and then the spotting began. I spotted all the time and could never go without wearing a pad. Now in my 7th month of giving it the so called TIME to thin out my ute lining, lighten flow etc. I am having it removed tomorrow morning at 8:30 and scheduled for hysterectomy pre-op July 11th. Here is the never ending list of crap I've had to deal with since I had the Mirena put in:
Mood - horrific. High then low... no in-between.
May 22, 08 - current heavy bleeding with cramps and spleen sized clots.
flow stoppage for 24-36 hours only to gush and return full force at will.
ovary pain both sides
upper leg pain
massive wt. gain = 32 lbs
swelling/bloating
extended stomach from under breasts to pelvic bone
June 12th, woke to spinning room.. day I called to make the appt. for removal.
burning sensation left ovary region
acne ear to ear chin line - extremely oily face
headaches
shakes
sweats in air conditioning day/night
full bladder sensation 24/7 with more freq. trips to the bathroom
less bladder control
Guess that about sums it up... I am sure it is a combination of menopause onset and the Mirena. I will be able to gauge better the few weeks I am Mirena free before I have my bag of fibroids removed. At the very least I expect the acne to lighten up and hopefully some wt. LOSS.
