i am going threw ups and down since i had mine removed a little over a month ago, i still have good days and bad days the numbness and tingleing has gotton better since removal, but i had the mirena for 6 years before i realized it was what was making my body tired and my muscles spaz and my joints hurt, im only 29 and really thought i had cancer or something, i realized it was the mirena after having my first removed and had another inserted, after the new one all the symptoms i had lived with ( tiredness, aches, hairloss , swelling, leg pain, limb numbness, focus issues etc) where instantly 10 times worse days later , my legs where swollen my joint ached, so i got online and did some research and it just hit me, MY LORD it was my birth control! why didnt i think of the timing....it all started a while after i got the mirena years ago, i cant even begin to say all the things it effected in my life and im so relieved to have it out of my body but im still going threw getting the hormones out of my system and re gaining my strength from years of side effects that turned me into a lazy person, i feel my energy levels getting better, but im glad to hear others went threw this crash after wards, does it keep getting better? does it effect your chances of getting pregnant i worry!

Hello!
You are definitley not alone. I had my mirena in for about 16 months until the tingling in feet, right arm, and lower back pain hit. Absolutley a normal, physically active women...then this. please read some of my posts!
Be strong for your MRI. If you have someone to go with you that would be great for support! Ask for music because the machines were loud and my brian MRI lasted about 20 minutes. THe hardest part for me was filling out the paperwork right before the MRI listing my symptoms on my body and writing them out! REALITY for me! THink Positive and be honest with symptoms. I will be thinking of you monday and really think it's ALL related to the Mirena. A relief....I will be 6 months post-mirena tomorrow..YEAH! I still get tingles on top of my head, eyes, arms a little, and jaw pain so mild than before and weakness is all gone! I really think It takes awhile before the awful drug leaves our system. I just had my 6th normal period post mirena, flow is only 3 days, but my body has been cosistent. Try to track your periods in a journal this really helped me! Hugs to you,
Feel free to ask ?? and keep us updated!
