Hi,

I have had the Mirena out for 38 days and have had all kinds of problems. I have never had any problems with anxiety before the mirena, but continue to have good and bad days dealing with this now. The first couple of weeks I thiught I was dying of every kind of cancer there is. I am a nurse on a surgical floor and a lot of our patients are dealing with Cancer so I don't know if I felt that way because I know so much, or what.The problem I am continuing to have is in my stomach. I have burning in my stomach, heartburn, lump in my throat occasionally I can't eat very much at a time or I get horribly distended with a lump in my LUQ. In the first 4 weeks post I lost 15#. I have been taking Prilosec for 5 weeks and haven't reallyfelt a difference. I had an appt. with a GI doc last night and he put me on Protonix and thinks I need to wait it out. I have had a CT scan and swallow study and he assured me that these all looked normal with no signs of cancer. Does anyone have or had these kind of GI problems? I've seen people list vague symptoms, but not a lot of specifics. The last coulpe of days a racing heart and SOB have also come back. Has anyone had this come and go?

Thanks,

Kara
