Mirena is evil!
Spasms in my left arm
Lower back pain
* major mood swings ( really drastic epic mood swings perhaps the worst symptom from all)
Inflammation in my abdomen
Anxiety
Depression
Panic attacks
Movement in my abdomen
Swelling in my abdomen
Cysts
Pain in both legs
I paid over $400 dollars for Mirena after a few months
I went back to my Dr. and requested to have my Mirena
Removed, but Dr. Said:"absolutely not, this is your new you,
Seems to me you and your husband are having problems its impossible for you to get those
Symptoms from Mirena"
I never went back to the Dr. I have been suffering all this symptoms since April 2008
I finally got an appointment with a new Dr. And a specialist will have to remove my Mirena
Because they couldn't find the strings.... Really looking forward to get my life back and be the person I used to be
I wish I was able to make a proper complaint about Dr. S. Eng since he denied the removal of Mirena even though its my body and should be my decision. I would NEVER recommend mirena to anyone.

Mirena - HORRIBLE DRUG!
Hi everyone, I just had my Mirena IUD removed yesterday, May 13th, 2013 after spending 5 horrible months with it. The odor didn't sink in until recently, and it was very stark oder. I experienced all of the horrible side effects I could on this "miracle birth control". It started with minimal hair loss to a hand ful of hair. Continued with spotting, then a week of straight bleeding. No sex drive. Depression sank in like no other. Mood swings are for normal women with REGULAR periods...the Mirena made me literally depressed. I started becoming very angry and at times violent in my actions especially towards my poor boyfriend and even my dog. Talking about it now, I feel very ashamed, but I know that the Mirena IUD was causing me to completely filp a switch! I was not myself, I did not feel like myself, my judgements were very clouded, my action and reactions to everything and everyone were very harsh and temperamentive. I had to seriously apologize to quite a few people once I realized what was happening to me becuase of this horrible drug. I do understand that every drug has a side effect, but to experience a complete life and personality change in less than 5 months is completely ridiculous and very scary. I've experienced full body numbness, black out's, even had to go receive a CT scan, MRI scan, and a great amount of different blood tests. All came out clear and negative. It wasn't until I started experiencing hot flashes like I was in menopause this past Sunday (on Mother's Day on top of that), that I started researching side effects of the Mirena IUD and VOILA! I scheduled my removal appointment on Monday, May 13th, 2013 for 3 PM that day. The minute it was out of my body, no more cramps, no more pain, no more pounding headaches and misery. It is exactly 24 hours from my removal of the Mirena IUD, and I feel like myself! Well Bayer, you did me wrong on this one. Even your fancy Aspirin will get tossed into the trash. Ladies, please, please, please...listen to your body, listen to your gut feelings, and certainly get that "thing" removed if you are starting to feel bipolar...b/c that's exactly what it will do to you, make you feel bipolar and suicidal almost. Much love to all and I hope this will help avoid another woman receiving this "miracle drug" and losing out on x amount of time with her loved ones.

Used for Menopausal bleeding.
I had Mirena inserted to stem the flow of heavy bleeding due to menopause. It worked well but I put on a lot of weight which soon went after I had it removed following two years.
However, I had swelling and constant pain in my right armpit.It was deep inside the muscle. It always felt hard and sore when pressed.Another teacher at my school had exactly the same side effect!
It is now years after this and I still have that feeling inside my right armpit. Some days nothing..other days cramping hard and sore when pressed with a finger.Does anyone else have this problem?
I have been trying to find other women who hafr experienced the same same side effect!
