Hi, I totally believe it could be the Mirena. I have had very similar symptoms and my doctors have come up empty handed. A few months back I suddenly got very dizzy and knew something just didn't feel right but just went to bed. I got up the next morning and every joint in my body was in so much pain I could barely walk. Was dizzy, and tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, I could go on and on. All the doctors have ever come up with is a elevated C Reactive protein test which indicates inflammation somewhere in the body. We have ruled out all of the scary diseases and my Neuro just shrugs his shoulders and says he has no idea.

To shorten this... I have asked over and over if it could be my Mirena and all of the docs say "not possible". I say BS because I had the Mirena put in in and a couple months later my body pretty much shut down. I finally had it removed last week and I am praying I get some relief. I am also looking at an autoimmune diet to see if it helps me at all.

Good luck, if you think it may be the Mirena I would suggest having it removed. We are the ones that truly know our bodies and if you feel it could be the problem you are probably right!

Yes unfortunately these are all side effects from the IUD. I will advice you to get it out ASAP and don't let the dr's convince you not to because that's what they will try to do.

If you're thinking that the Mirena is the cause of your symptoms, then it probably is. No one knows your body as well as you know your body. If you know what you're feeling isn't normal, don't risk your permanent healthy for birth control that you could switch or overall eliminate. I had the Mirena inserted last may and i have had awful cramping that has come and gone for the last 14 months. Also i have developed anxiety and mood swings. Brain fog is definitely something that I have experienced.

Today i went to the doctor and told him i wanted it out. My side effects weren't too serious but I could feel that my body is off and i wanted to feel like myself again. He was more than happy to remove it, didn't ask questions, did it in the same visit. Took less than 2 minutes to remove it compared to the painful insertion that i underwent last year. I have not had a baby so it was quite painful getting it inserted. I was very surprised how easy and painless the removal was, so if that's your hesitation cross it off your list because it was so fast and convenient.

I feel so happy with my decision. I want to take care of my body and I feel like i did the right thing for me.

I can't stress enough how important your health is. If your symptoms are this bad and it's negatively (severely) affecting your life, REMOVE IT!

Nothing is worth debilitating symptoms that affect relationships and overall functionality if you can avoid it!

Very quick, virtually painless and you'll be happier in the end without the extra hormones in your system, mood swings, brain fog, and whatever other symptoms this device has caused you or has negatively affected your life.

Good luck to you all xoxo
