I Can't Believe This

I had mine in back in Feb. 08. All was wonderfull (except the insertion, god that was awfull). I had no issues. No more periods, no cramps nothing. The relationship I was in ended but I thought oh well I'll just keep it. The summer of 09 was when I started having issues but in no way thought it had anything to do with Mirena. I drive a trolley for weddings and I found I couldn' do it safely because I would get dizzy and couldn'T focus. So there goes the extra money I needed. Around the same time my skin and scalp started itching very badly. I wanted to rip it off. Started using lotions and scalpicin and it felt better. Then at Christmas of the same year I noticed a small pea size red bald spot on the top of my head. I was upset about it but had alot of things going on that made me not want to go to the doctors. By the next spring the spot became the size of a quarter and there was a new small one. So off I go to the Dr. still not thinking it has to do with Mirena, I didn't even tell my Dr. that I was on it. He tried some stuff to no avail. He sent me to a derm. he tried some stuff tested me for Lupus thank goodness that came back ok. But still my hair keeps falling out and I am more and more depresed about it. I was having a very bad night, drinking to much because of my depression(I know, doesn't solve anything) and my sister called and new something was wrong so I told her about things(Being very imbarrassed about it I kept it to myself). So she starts looking around, asks what kind of birth controll I'm on and comes up with this site. And now here I am so very confused and upset and appalled about what this awful thing has been doing to me. I have an appointment on Monday to have it removed and I have never wanted a weekend to go by as quickly as I do now. I will keep you updated and only hope and pray that my hair comes back. Please dear god let this be the light at the end of a very long tunel
