i finally got my mirena removed february 26th. since then life has only gotten better. i am no longer in any physical pain. my mental state is very stable. i now describe myself as calm, cool, and collected. i have no rage in me now. i can think before i speak and hardly ever yell at my children. i feel like i am 18 again. things i have noticed: IBS is gone, joint pain gone, insomnia was last to go, my reflexes are so quick now, back and abdominal cramping gone, i can see well now, my blood Sugar is stable, food cravings are gone, no longer bloated, rage is gone, depression/suicidal thoughts are gone, no longer obsess over things, house is clean, level of energy is wonderful, my sex drive is back and sorry to be so blunt but i can now achieve orgasm,i remember everything now, i have lost 25 lbs. i love myself and can finally enjoy my home and family. my marriage still has alot of healing that needs to happen but i am able to handle that stress with ease.
i also started my period right on schedule yesterday. it seems like my body is having a normal one pre mirena. i did have a little pms 2 days before. i had very minor cramping, a little emotional, my joints felt a little weird and i had a headache, but that is gone now.
things i think may have helped: doing a 30 day colon cleanse, i drink about a gallon of water a day, had mirena removed when on a period, i take a liquid B vitamin, and i work out 5 days a week and if i start to feel depressed i work out some more. i also refuse to take any type of medication, i am paranoid it will mess with my hormonal balance but that is just my paranoia.
Again, i want to thank you all for your support, this forum saved my life when i had no one that believed my pain and suffering was real. I cannot believe the change in me. please, if anyone has any doubts that mirena can mess you up, GET IT REMOVED!!!! thank you everyone. i honestly think i would have been dead by now if i had not gotten mirena removed.
