Hi

It's been a very very long time since I've been on here, but thought I would drop in and say hello and give you an update if you are interested.

I am currently at just over 2 years after removal. For those that don't know, I had Mirena for just over 4 years and like all of us had many problems and issues, and then ever more issues with crashes once it was removed.

At my one year removal anniversary, I was probably at 90% back to pre mirena me. Feeling pretty good with a few ups and downs just before my period. Some months are worse than others, but all in all, manageable.

However, this year has been different. I am currently going through peri-menopause (well i think I am anway) and have very up and down periods sometimes skipping a couple then having a normal one etc. A few weeks ago, nearly exactly at the 2 year removal point, I have been having a mini crash with things coming back that I havent experienced for a long time. Breathing problems are back (think I also have a cat alergy, as they only happen in my house LOL), upper neck and shoulders are aching again, mild anxiety and just feeling generally unwell and down.

I am still taking magnesium, Vit B group, VITEX, Vit D and calcium, multi vitamin, krill oil, Celery oil every day. I honestly don't know what I would do without my VITEX - it's been a wonder herb for me - I never get sore breasts or cramps anymore - it's amazing.

I believe I am going through a 2 year mini crash. Has anyone else had this? And if so, how long does it last, because this has been going on for about 2 weeks and I am over it. I thought most of my troubles were behind me. Must say though, the crashes are NOTHING like the horrible ones experienced in my first three within seven months of removal.

There is good news ladies, but this mini setback has me a little annoyed.

Any advice?

Thanks :-)
