Mireana symptoms and conditions

Crazy things that I have, only enough started after I had the Mirena put in. Horrible itchy head, Horrible anal itching, (the Dr. said I did not have hemroids), itching all over, fingers swelling, Could all this be because of the Mirena? I guess we will find out if it clears up since I had it taken out yesterday.

I did not realize that about not having sex a week prior to removal. I had mine removed yesterday but I am pretty sure we did not have sex because it hurt to much. It must have been poking me in the stomach or side because that instantly felt better upon removal.I hate birth control because it always makes me hormonal but the only reason I agreed to the Mirena was because my Dr. said it would not do that. The very night that I had it in I was so sad, mad,etc.I have been pretty emotional for the 7 months that I have had it. I am hoping things will level off now!

I got the Mirena in may of 2007.I as you guys did thought it was great in the beginning the i realized i was always tired. I admit i didn't think it was the Mirena then I started having pain doc. said it nothing now i'm sad to report tha i have lost 70% of my hair thanks to Mirena.Hope you women who still have get it out before your hair falls out like mine.This should be against the law there was nothing stated in the side affects list about hair lost.My doctor suggested to me because she had been taking it.My last appt.i notice her hair was falling out too.I wanted to ask her if she thought it was the mirena because her hair looked just like mine,but i didn't want to be all in her business,this is a bad situation and im sorry i ever heard about the mirena.

I am very thankful that I followed my instincts to go to this website. I have had so many different side effects from the Mirena but, I did not put them all together until today. I am a mother of four children and was at a birthday party when another mother asked me what was I using for birth control. I responded to her and told her that I was using the "Mirena". She went on to tell me that she herself was once using "Mirena" but after losing almost all her hair she got off of it.

So tonight I can relate to many of you with the symptoms of Mood Changes, Tiredness, ******Hair Loss*****, Stomach Bloating, Heart Palpatations, Weight Loss, Headaches, depression, acne, *****Memory Loss*****. And, of course these symptoms are not symptoms that you will see if you do research on the Mireana as I myself have done. This week I am calling my Doctor to have this removed. One positive did come from this (I HAVE NOT GOTTEN PREGNANT) but I am ready to be back to normal with my body again. As another mom stated my husband needs his wife back and my children need their mommy back.

Thank You

I have been on mirena now for 10 months. I was on the depo for 10 years prior. I loved my depo adn only went off of it after Kaiser said I could not do it any longer. I was told that mirena was a god send and a lot like my depo. I can say that the combination of depo and mirena I have not had any period at all. but that is where the happiness ends. I have experienced moths of breast pain. it hurt to touch them let alone put anything on them. after about 6 months and numerous trips to the vet it disappeared. then I got a small rash on my neck and by my arms. went to dermatology and since then I have been there, or to my primary or an allergist every week since then. the rough severley itchy skin is constant. remarkably every 29 - 32 days it fades for 2 days or so and just when I am sure it is going away wham back it comes and each time it is getting worse and worse. having never had any skin problems before I believed the doctors tha tit was folliculitus, then they said dermatitus, then they said uticaria and then hives or the last straw i was causing it that it was in my head. i just got a new allergist and while she doesn't knwo if it is my mirena she can tell me I have histamine levels that are off the chart. my husband is allergic to a lot so we already use free & clear everything and my housse is spotless but I am still being told it is soemthing I am doing to myself. I have also been reevaluating my things and I relaize I have been experiencing a lot of numbness and joint pain. so much so that my primary sent me to a rhuematlogist and he ran every test for lupus, and many other diseaeses adn even cancer. I was going crazy. Iwas beginning to think maybe I was mental. I have since been researching mirena and I am finding it so much more than what the pamphlet says. I finally got the nerve to call my ob, adn she ahs since been researching things with me and we know for sure that no matter what next week I get my mirena removed. I am just feeling so alone and depressed. I am 33 years old and instead of enjoying my new marriage I am contemplating a divorce becasue I do not want him to be stuck with soemone who might be crazy. seeking support and anyone else who feels this way.
