I had mine out a couple of weeks ago. It didn’t hurt at all, just a little uncomfortable.   [End]

I’ll be up in Qld for my weekend away! Wow how crazy is that about HRT. Have you seen a naturopath before? I’ve been going to a chiropractor and am taking vitamins - trying to get my health back. My boys are only little so I need lots of energy to keep up with them. I’ve been on Magnesium (a powdered form) for my headaches. It’s also supposed to help with PMS symptoms too.   [End]

Hi everyone Well its been nearly two weeks since I had the Mirena removed. I felt great for a few days then started bleeding and felt terrible again. My migraines came back with a vengeance and pain in my legs and arms was terrible, almost as bad as when I first had the Mirena. When the bleeding stopped (after about a week) the pain in my legs went away. I still have weird prickly electrical sensations usually in my feet and still have that buzzing feeling like my whole body is trembling just a bit. Its more noticeable when I lay down. My vision has still been blurry with floater ...

Well I just had an interesting visit to the Doc. He was actually quite open when I discussed the different side effects I’ve had with Mirena. He didn’t talk me into keeping it which I was expecting. It wasn’t painful at all when taken out. I don’t feel any change yet except for happy that its out! Will advise if my symptoms improve.....I’m hoping for a good night’s sleep at least....   [End]

I have suffered from insomnia also. Before having the Mirena I would occasionally have a night where I was awake for one or two hours in the middle of the night. Lately it has been two to three nights a week where I’ll be up for 3/4 hours a night. It’s very exhausting when you have three little ones to look after. The other nights I still feel like I’m a restless sleeper, not really getting a solid nights sleep. I’m getting Mirena out today so will be interesting to see how it affects my sleeping patterns. I’ll let you know how I go....   [End]

Thank you! It’s nice to have others who have been through the same. Last night I hardly got any sleep. Was awake from 1 til 5am. This is not unusual for me since having the Mirena. I’m taking my boys to their afternoon session of kindy then coming home for a nap! I can’t wait to have more energy and feel like me again...the happy, energetic mum I used to be.   [End]

Hi Aussiegirl Thanks for your message. Wow its funny how our stories are so similar! I have had all sorts of weird symptoms including migraines, dizziness, visual disturbances, pins and needles, stabbing pains in my thighs, minor cramping but the worst of all of these is the fatigue. I’m usually a very energetic mum but the last six months it feels like each day has been a battle to get through. My doctor said it must be chronic fatigue, but I am not convinced and after reading up on adverse side effects of Mirena I think I finally have my answer!! I’m a little nervous about gett ...

I have been amazed and shocked to hear so many negative side effects experienced by women using the Mirena. If I had seen all these stories there’s no way I would have considered it - especially since I have always been sensitive to taking the pill. I have had mine in for 9 months now and have experienced so many side effects. My doctor has tested me for all sorts of diseases. At one stage they thought I had MS or Lupus. On numerous occasions I asked if the Mirena could be causing my problems and was told NO by my GP and specialist. After reading alot of the stories on this site ...
