I'm so sorry that you all are going through this, but hang in there! I am a little over 2 years post, and believe me, it took awhile to feel better but I am so glad I got the Mirena removed.

I also had about a month after removal before I got a period, and it was a very light one. I have had crazy PMS before my periods ever since, but it's nice to know that my body is starting to function in a cyclic way again.

One really low risk suggestion for starting your bleed that worked for me is ginger parsley tea. Years before Mirena, I went of Mircette and didn't have a period for 6 months! During this time I was feeling really awful, but did not want to follow my doctor's suggestion of a progesterone shot. I felt screwed up enough by hormones and didn't want to push it.

I looked online and an herbal remedy to kickstart your period is strong ginger tea (I use traditional medicinals brand) either in a bag or from the freshly shredded root, and if you want to, you can add freshly chopped parsley. At the time I was less a believer in herbal remedies than I am now, but after six months of no periods, drinking these teas all day for a week, I finally started my period! If my period is late these days, I also drink the tea and it seems to help.

Good luck ladies! I believe I am an outlier, only in that it took me so long to feel better. I am sure you will get better faster than I did, just be patient and kind to yourself.

Sorry you're having such a hard time- we all know what a toll the Mirena takes on your life.
From my perspective, the weird thing is that many of my side effects cleared up almost immediately after removal. But all the things you mentioned like itchy skin, sleeplessness etc, I suffered really badly while I had the damn thing inside me.
Hang on in there- many of us react differently and no doubt you'll have good days and bad days. But generally my life has been SO much better since removal.Hope you start improving soon.

I had it removed june 11th. Just last night for some strange reason I snapped out of this 4 day funk. I got my appetite back, lost the nausea and the anxiety. Not feeling all that dizzy either. I don't understand how it can come and go like this. I had my mirena in for 4 years. My health problems started in January. Been to the ER once and many drs visit since. Never any answers though. I'm going to gyn next thurs and asking for a blood test to see what my progesterone levels are. I believe I am now estrogen dominant and that is usually the worst right after menstration.
