I am new to this. I have posted a message but here are my symptoms: CHRONIC EXCRUCIATING RIGHT HIP PAIN, 5.5 CM CYST AND SEVERAL SMALLER ONES, JOINT PAIN, TINGLING AND 'BUZZING' IN FOOT, BLURRED VISION, LOW SEX DRIVE, SHARP PAIN IN VAGINA, FACIAL PAIN MOVES ALL AROUND FACE, TOOTH PAIN ( I AM A PRACTITIONER SO I SHUDNT GET ANY!), WEIGHT GAIN AND HAIRLOSS. But its the crippling hip pain that I cannot cope with. MRI negative, no arthritis marker in bloods so now being treated for neuropathic pain... not working. ESR raised and low Vit D???? Feel as though I am dying but try to be rational. I think its Mirena...
Csd - Hi! Sorry to hear you've been suffering so badly. I think you're right and it's the Mirena. It was thanks to forums like this that I realised the Mirena was the cause of my weird illnesses over almost 3 years as the medical profession seemed clueless!
My symptoms included repeated yeast infections, sharp pain in left hand side and chest, numbness and tingling in my body,joint pains in wrist and ankles, nausea and headaches, hair-loss, weight gain, blurred vision, dizziness, mood swings, memory loss and worst of all 3 seizures. I've had repeated hospital,doctors and neurologist appointments, EEGs and MRI scans and everything was clear. I felt like I was going mad or dying and my partner and I made our Wills as I was convinced I had an incurable disease that hadn't been diagnosed.After my third seizure I finally made the connection myself and had this terrible thing removed at the beginning of December .Within 24 hours I started to feel " normal" again and am improving every day. Many women suffer a " crash" after removal but so far I've been OK. I know it's hard but try and keep strong and focussed.Good Luck.

Csd - Hello again!
I'm from the UK too, a former journalist but now a 47 year old full time mum of three teenage boys.After I had my Mirena removed at the beginning of December it was incredible how quickly I started feeling better again and ALL my weird pains and tinglings disappeared- literally within a couple of days.I no longer have awful backache,wrist and ankle aches, pains in my left hand side, headaches,dizziness,vision problems etc and don't wake up feeling sick every morning.I've got my energy levels back, don't feel moody or miserable. I'm sleeping properly again,losing weight and my hair has stopped falling out! My memory seems to be improving and I'm not in a "fog" anymore- I also feel more sociable and not withdrawn. I can walk downstairs without having to cling onto the bannister!.
The speed at which I started recovering only confirmed my suspicions that the Mirena was responsible.However I will be left with the after-effects for a while because it caused three seizures I won't be able to drive again for months.
Pre Mirena I had very heavy periods- that was one of the reasons my GP recommended it,and because I was heading towards the menopause.Four weeks after it's removal I had a medium flow period which lasted for about ten days, and am now waiting to see if my next period comes in a normal 28 day cycle,like they used to.
The " crash" that people talk about is a periodic reoccurence of some of their symptoms, but so far I seem to have escaped this. I've been keeping myself pretty active,drinking lots of water and taking a multi-vitamin that contains potassium and magnesium which someone advised.Hope this helps,let us know how you get on.
Claire.
Murderous_mirena - Claire... thanks so much for taking time to reply again. I feel so sorry for you, and the many others who suspect the Mirena really isnt their best freind. Like me, you probably dont want pity, but understanding and respect... God knows women have fought hard for it. I have had weekend from hell, thought I was going to A&E on Saturday night but managed to keep sane and calm. Decided that the amytriptiline wasnt the answer for me and stopped it. Used my tens machine and prayed. Today, Monday, I feel a little better though I have been bleeding and I suspect I have had another cyst which is resolving?? I plan to take some holiday and have Mirena removed asap. Have to take holiday as insertion was horrific... excruciating pain ( I have had one child, 3 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy), bleeding, cramping and an infection... and I dont trust effects of removal. Please keep in touch, as will I, as it is great comfort to even find one woman who to relate to... though we seem to be many indeed. Best Carolyn ps. I will pray all goes weel for you... we deserve it I think.
Csd - Dear Carolyn,
So glad you've decided to have it removed asap- I'm sure you won't regret it and hope you start recovering as well as I have.Well done for keeping sane and calm during a hellish weekend- I think it all becomes a bit more manageable once you realise what's causing all the problems and don't fear that you're either dying or going mad! What a great idea to use a Tens machine-wish I'd thought of that one! I used it during my first labour and it was wonderful.
Try not to fear the actual removal procedure too much- it may not be as bad as you think.
Regards- Claire. (PS) Have you seen the anti-Mirena petiton on the care2 petiton site? Lots of postings from women worldwide and worth a look.
Jessysnipsnip - i just had my primary dr. do silicone level testing in my blood work. it came out very very high in my blood. i urge everyone to get tested only because silicone takes years to get out of the body sometimes permanent. i am post mirena two weeks and i did test four days ago and it came out to be .39
(the normal amount in a person should be .05).(anything over .10 is abnormal)
so drs lied to us when they said mirena does not enter our blood stream. and that is why our symptoms take time to go away. but there not as bad as when we had the mirena in. Silicone is deadly at any level. please get tested even if you had mirena out for long time. silicone does not clear over months or years.
that right there is proof it is extremly harmful
also google side effects to silicone and they are very similar to what we had.
thank you
jessica bonner
i might as well go be a dr. since i know what to test my self for better than the silly drs. who thought we were the crazy ones!!!
