OMG!!! For the past year and a half I have thought I was either crazy or dying of some unknown disease. I have had mirena for 1.5 years - it was placed about 2 months after the birth of my first (and only) child. I'm only 25 years old and have been purplexed by all the strange symptoms I've been having: severe hot flashes, gradually worsening joint pain (like arthritis), severe headaches, excessive weight gain (30lbs), chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, severe mood swings, irritability/anger, ZERO sex drive, pains shooting through my uterus, sore breasts, hair loss, and even a sensation in my stomach like a baby kicking. I have had blood tests ran for hormone imbalances which came back normal. I have taken pregnancy tests to rule that out. I am at my wits end - this has had a horrible effect on my self esteem, my relationship with my husband, my ability to function as a mother, my performance at work, etc. I actually got online tonight to search for possible side effects of mirena, as this was the last thing I could think of that might be causing my problems. Little did I know that so many other women are having this exact same problem! This is so disturbing that our healthcare system is not protecting us by warning us of this evil little device, probably because they would lose money. It's just sickening that this is being allowed to continue. Anyway, I am calling my OBGYN first thing in the morning and demanding this piece of **** be removed immediately. I don't care how much money they charge me, it would be worth it to feel normal again. Just wondering - I read several other posts but didn't see anyone else mention hot flashes. Has anyone else had a problem with hot flashes?
p.s. thanks to you all who posted and shared your stories - you have helped me tremendously. Now I know I'm not crazy and I'm not alone :)Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,224,857I have hot flashes around my periods, I thought I was imagining it though. This is what I think hot flash feels like, at least. I am 4.5 months post removal though. I have been doing much better in general, but around periods, some of the symptoms return.

This is a reply to # 2,327,505YES!!!I have the most insane Hot HOURS!! Yes....HOURS There is no 'flash' about these debilitating times that happen more during the day than any time. I am often feeling the need to change my entire outfit by noon somedays, because I have had several trickles of perspiration down my back, my hair gets damp, I nearly lose my mind in a store line up if that's when it happens, I am nauseous grom feeling overheated and then usually extremly exhausted following one. I notice it most close to my moon cycle or at the ovulation time frame. I have told myself that it's the peri menopause time I am in but maybe the Marina is making them more intense?? I 've added Estrogel to my regime with little to no effect, I've tried every herbal or essential oil suggestion out there but nothing seems to really help. A coworker of mine was put on the Marina and Estrogel combo to manage her'flashes' and has has amazing results. I'm so torn... I essentially do not get a period but then I have to deal with this crap plus weight gain plus plus plus. I've had the Marina for the 5yrs plus another 2 but it's only gotten really bad with the heat waves in the past 2-3 yrs. I might have to give in and get it removed. I'm so grateful to have come across this forum. Please reply with any other suggestions or comments that may assist. Ask a questuinquestion if you like. Thank you

I had the mirena removed 3 years ago, the week before I could get it out something changed the way my body adjust to temperature.
Right now if I drink something cold I feel cold all over. If I go outside its like I'm melting.
After an attempt to remove the mirena I think the docs caused an infection and the next day at work I was dripping sweat so I sat down then I was freezing cold. The strange thing I never work up a sweat I had been doing the same job for months and the room temp was the same as the day before.
Changes in temp affect my mood, changes in smell distracts my focus, the smell of food cooking makes me sick, well it brings up stomach acid, so if I'm going to eat I have to eat more than enough to stuff the acid down and it must be dry food, for some reason its hard to keep soft veggies and fruits down.
Its better to sleep with your air cooler than the day time setting. - Re: OMG! Anyone else have severe hot... nomoremirena

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,224,857Oh Yeah. Before I had the Mirena removed 5 months ago, I got hot flashes every day. So bad that my palms would sweat to the point where I would have to wipe them dry. Since removal though, not one hot flash. And the "baby kicks", I had those too. Spent a fortune on pregnancy tests. All negative. The only side effect I still have from the Mirena is the anxiety. It comes and goes, especially in public places.

This is a reply to # 1,224,857I too had severe hot flashes. I had it 2 years, and around Easter I remember my sister was in town visiting, we did a day of shopping, and came home and around dinner time we decided to have a few cocktails. I made up some bahama Mama drinks, and I only took like 2 sips and all of sudden a SEVERE and I am talking Severe hot flash came, it scared me so bad, my face was all sudden on fire feeling, I was trying to cool it with cold water, and it heated right back up again. It was scaring me so bad I almost was going to go to the ER. Thought it was the drink, or just stress of shopping all day. It finally went away after about 10 min of just sitting with a cold rag on my face. Then I got another one, one night at my school. I went to the bathroom and wet a paper towel, and held on my face in class and I remember my face was so hot I dried the towel like instantly. A women in my class was EMT and said I didn't look so good, and maybe I should go home. I only remember 2 real bad ones that happened during day, I also had alot of night sweats sleeping at night, mostly during winter months, and I always blamed my husband for turning heat too high at night. At this point I believe the Mirena caused all the hot flashes for sure.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,224,857Hi
I have the exactly the same symptoms as you while I was on Merina for 1 year. I have no specific symptoms other than hot flash and headaches.
I am really scared to go to my doctor. I am in mid 30s and I do not want to hear that I am going through menopause.
Can you please let me know if your hot flshes have gone away after 3 years?

This is a reply to # 1,224,857Yes I've had mine for about 4 months and started noticing them around two months ago, gradually getting worse. That's why I googled it and found out I was not the only one feeling this way. I also notice anxiety as well and even wound up in the ER because of it thinking I was having a heart attack

I just decided to Google this because I got my morena in about 14 months ago butt I have been going through hot flashes for 2 months I'm 45 years old and it is absolutely miserable the feeling that comes on you get clammy hot about 10 times a day. I've been to the ER this week for a terrible migraine that I've never had and headaches that are almost continuous. So I thought maybe I'm getting an increased amount of hormone that's causing these symptoms. When I saw your post I realized the other thing I've been going through for 6 months joint pain doctor said I could be having arthritis. I think I'm going to get this thing taken out tomorrow as well I thought I was going crazy - Re: OMG! Anyone else have severe hot... Nursemama

This is a reply to # 1,224,857I had every symptom you listed. I just had my mirena removed yesterday. My pain was to the point were I felt I had a knife stabbing me, through my stomach/uterus to the right side. I've had my mirena 6 1/2 years, with weight gain (~30lbs), headaches, anxiety/depression, insomnia, irritability...you name it. The minute the IUD was removed, I felt the irritation go away. I could stand straight again, sit in a chair, and function. The last two weeks, it had shifted somehow and irritated the right side of my uterus. I thought I was going to die! Moral of the story: listen to your gut (no pun intended). If you feel that there is something wrong, chances are there is. This is a foreign body inside YOUR body. Realistically it should help you but if you can't go about your day in a normal way, get it out ;)
And the hot flashes for me were night sweats. I would wake up and be drenched! It was terrible!!! - Re: OMG! Anyone else have severe hot... mlewis1617

Cmayes your not alone. I have had almost all your symptoms too. I just thought I was going threw the change because I am 52. The hot flashes are horrible but we all just assumed I had entered metopause. Wrong because now I am pregnant. Let me know if you can just pull the iud out. I sure hope so. Because I no longer have insurance.
