Hi, I am so sorry your daughter is not feeling well, I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you. I don't know what to say, except that I've been to ER twice while I had the mirena in. Once, I was just freaking out about my chest pain and another time, I had a very real pain in one of my internal organs, closer to the back than the belly, sorry, I am not good with explanations, the pain was a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10. They gave me two shots, and the pain went away. I had some tests done too then. I went for a follow up with a doctor few days later and he pretty much dismissed the whole incident, he didn't know what it was and didn't even care. Like I stated in my previous posts, I've given birth to my daughter (I only have one) naturally, and this pain I went to ER for was as bad as giving birth. My point is that I still don't know what it was, but now I know it was caused by mirena, doing something weird to my body. Your daughter is not alone in this. Many of us have been through a lot with mirena. I know it doesn't make your situation any better. She is lucky to have you by her side. It would be 10 times harder to be on her own. Hang in there.

After more than 1.5 years of paying tons of money to all sorts of doctors to try to figure out what went wrong with me (took almost 1 year before I found this website, which saved my life and had the mirena removed immediately and finally started healing)...recently my naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist have determined that it is my gall bladder that seems to be failing (perhaps not necessarily with stones but weakness, many stones are too small to be seen on ultrasound) And in fact all the pain points I have felt (most notably severe pain between the shoulder blades which would flare up most when I had insomnia which was pretty much every night) is a distinct gall bladder point (along with leg pain, elbow, abdominal, lower back which are all the spots women have complained about on mirena). It makes complete sense that basically the mirena is a toxin and our gall bladders try to weed out the toxin or fails or is injured...So many of the mirena side effects point to gall bladder, and if the gall bladder is unable to clear a toxin, the nervous system is then affected and kidney and heart...as well as the gall bladder/liver affect so much how we process hormones (which then affects adrenal gland and thyroid etc.)

We are being poisoned. And perhaps that is why it can affect people at different stages upon insertion based on how healthy our gall bladders are (which by the way become weakened by pregnancy and birth control). It is crazy!

There are ways to cleanse the gall bladder without removal. Read about them on line and see a naturopathic doctor. Especially since it sounds like the toxins are beyond the gall bladder into the kidney...there are lots of issues when the gall bladder is removed.

Best wishes...keep us posted
