Mirena and allergist

I have been on Mirena since Feb of 2008, around mid April -May I started itching and have not been able to figure out why or what is causing it. Have been to doctors tried all different OTC medication, lotions, etc. and nothing helps. My Allergist questioned the Mirena but don't know much about it has anyone had problems with severe itching or no of anyone.

Hey, I have had my Mirena in for almost four years now, and initially loved it because I did not have a period every month and it wasn't much when I did have it, I had no cramps, and I was feeling fine. However, after my little girl was born I started breaking out with every yes every medication I take down to a tynenol. If I take tynenol for a few days or any other medication for a few days I end up breaking out in a bad rash. I have never been allergic to anything before I had this put in. At first it never dawned on me that it could be the Mirena, but after so long I have began to think it is. I have been to my doctor, two allergist, and many trips to the emergency room for breaking out in a rash. I have read many of the other symptoms that I have had like nervousness, depression, short temper,but none on breaking out with medication. Has anyone had any of these symptoms that I have been having, if so please let me know, so I can schedule to have it out if this is the true problem.

OMG! I thought I was losing it. Have had the Mirena since April and have gained weight (an entire dress size) for NO REASON, been foggy, moody, no sex drive, joint pains, cramps, etc.I thought I was alone, Did I mention EXHAUSTED all the time and acne on my face and back-sever enough to get antibiotics from the dermatologist?
I also suffer with PCOS--does anyoen else on the Mirena suffer with PCOS? Would be interested to see how it has affected you. Tried BC pills and after awhile they stopped working then switched to the YAZ--DO NOT GO THERE--the worst Pill ever--so not many options for those of us with PCOS. Just can't wait to go to the DR and get this thing out.

I had the Mirena fitted in October 2005, I bled on and off for about 2 weeks and my body started to adjust.
I have always suffered with acne, but in the last year my skin has ruled my everyday life and confidence. I have spent hundreds of pounds trying all sorts of lotions and face washes to combat the spots that are so painful. I cant help but think that the Mirena is making my skin worse. I am now on a second lot of antibiotics for my skin, a different type, to see if they help.
I have a bloated tummy every so often and I haven't bled for over a year. I cant help but feel I need to have a period. Is there anyone who understands what I mean.. so lost and confused with it all. My doctor today says that I could try the copper coil so I can have a period, but she told me they can be heavier and more painful with the copper coil.

I have a question I'm taking the Mirena out due to gain weight and feeling always sick and weak. So what does anyone suggest about the copper 10 year IUD. I was thinking of switching since it doesn't have hormones my gyno's nurse just told me that the Mirena has depot shot medicine which no one has ever told me when I got it put in. So now I know why I've gain weight.

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.

Has anybody had any wird allergies with the Mirena - ie like idiopathic urticaria, angiodema ?
