I'm glad to see people are posting positive recovery stories that is nice to hear, i was hoping by now I would be one of them. I am 8 months post and experiencing new scary symptoms. In the last week I have felt nauseous and dizzy and started having numbness and tingling all over my body, it started in my arms and legs and now its in my head and face too, has anyone ever experienced that? or had so many new things happen this far out? I am just honestly scared and would like to know if anyone else is going through this?
Thanks for the support, I don't know what i would do without this group of ladies!

I don't have new symptoms popping up, but I do think that I'm having a bit of a "crash" for the first time in MONTHS. I have had symptoms returning such as the insane brain fog, dizziness/vertigo, distorted vision, and lower back/hip pain. That's why I'm detoxing again. I know....it's awful when you are feeling so good and then you take a huge step back.
And--it's May 2nd....I had my Mirena removed on September 2nd. Yep--EXACTLY eight months ago TODAY.
Does anyone else find it strange that many of us crash at the same times after removal? I crashed at 2 weeks, 3/4 months and now at 8 months. It seems like many do. I wonder what happens that makes our bodies relapse at specific times. I think there are 3 or 4 of us at the eight month mark right now and all having a hard time. Strange....

This is a reply to # 1,807,260I crashed at those exact same times, I have been wondering the same exact things, why it keeps coming back, why our symptoms mimic MS so much? I am not sure if it has been so bad for me because I'm crashing plus I have been under SO much stress lately, in a few weeks we are moving across the country, there has been stress with my husbands family, plus we just had a death. I'm not sure if it is that or what but i have been feeling really BAD. I have a little numb/tingling in just my left foot and hands before but it has spread all over really quickly. I am really hoping for the best and hope this crash passes soon, I was feeling so great.

This is a reply to # 1,807,263How long as this crash lasted for you so far?
Also...for anyone out there past eight months post removal...did you have any more crashes after that or was it mainly just the lingering of symptoms? I'm interested to see if there is another common month after 8 that women seem to crash.- Re: anyone 8 months post with new sy... mandy4982

This is a reply to # 1,807,444I'm constantly crashing!!! I'll have 1 good day here or there and I thank god for those clear days but, I'm still struggling! I'm starting to think that what I eat effects how i'm gonna feel! The other day I was feeling pretty good until I ate! I know this sounds funny but, I had some delious home made rolls with lunch and a piece of choc. silk pie and within 20 mins or so I started feeling very dizzy and confused. I just wanted to go home or to the hospital. I started shaking and my anxiety hit me!!! I think there is a sign there... What can I have them check that they haven't already checked before???? I feel like I'm gonna die! My body is freaking out!!!!!!

This is a reply to # 1,807,482I am so glad you posted this. I was about to post one that says basically the same thing. I think the hardest part of all this is that MS is something that can never be 100% ruled out so there is always that thought in the back of our heads since our symptoms are identical to MS. Anyone feel that same thing? I am 5 months post removal and this week have had the return of tingling in legs and left arm and heat intolerance. Does anyone else have heat intolerance? I do not have it when I am internally heated, I run 8 miles everyday no problem and sweat on stairmaster but... if I sit in the sun, even on a 68degree day I instantly feel very tired and dizzy, almost stoned, it is like a lightheaded feeling but more like a stoned/pain medication feeling. Would love to know if anyone else has this! Is this a crash...?? I just STOPPED taking progesterone as well, my OB had me on it to try to start my period. Maybe that is the cause??

This is a reply to # 1,807,569Yes, I have the heat intolerance that you described - exactly like that! It comes and goes. Haven't noticed it for awhile, but the warm months are about to hit. I also have erythromelalgia which is brought on by heat for me. I am 17 months post. I wouldn't say that I can remember an exact "crash month" after the 8 month mark. It's just that I have good and bad months. During my bad months, I am shaky, have muscle weakness, and find it hard to coordinate my limbs. Also spacey head/dizziness/vision issues that all go together. Unfortunately, I feel that I have a good month for every 3 bad months. My good month isn't usually an entire month either. But this last month was better than normal, so let's see what the summer holds. We are likely moving to a new home, so that stress won't help, and I'm worried about being up to the physical demands of it.

This is a reply to # 1,807,251If it's post mirena...it wasn't caused by mirena. You need to see a doctor to find the real cause.

This is a reply to # 1,807,251Hey!! I am seven months post and I have noticed slight nausea and my left side, thigh and leg area feels numb. I thought maybe it was from "extracurricular activities but it would have ceased by now. I bleed very heavily still, to where I am changing every hr. I'm going to an OB/GYN Thursday and see if it could be that my fibroids are back. Are you having bleeding problems? I am also still having constant mood swings to where my guy says I have numerous personalities. Good luck as we will someday have relief, hopefully ASAP!!
