Thanks for linking me to that document. I'm going to print it out and we can both read it - it probably explains alot of what I'm been going through this past 1 1/2 years. Did you have yours removed? If so, did the pains stop? I also think I'm getting these "palpitations" some of the others have mentioned.

My joint pain, tiredness, musculur spasms started after I had my mirena inserted. I had it in for only year and it completely changed my life from being a very active independent person to someone who at 30 feels like most of us on this website,over 60. After removal which was in January this year my symptoms unfortunately didn't just dissappear.I found some in fact got worse especially the chest pains and anxiety. Doctors found a musculur disease via a biopsy called myositis and have now been on cortisone treatment for 2 months. Every day I wake up hoping this nightmare will end and I will have my old life back and that I can be a fully functional mother of two toddlers. My instinct tells me the mirena had everything to do with what has happenned but obviously the doctors profusely disagree! I often wonder that maybe the disease pre-existed but got worse with the mirena. Anyone with similar disease or that has been on cortisone treatment to relieve any of their symptoms? Is there any light after this dark tunnel??????????

Emily,
I called Bayer today.
I have been so miserable with joint pain.
The worst is having no energy or will to want to do anything. There is only so much an antidepressants can do. I have tried everything. The only thing I didn't think about was the Mirena. I have just been so miserable I pulled my own out. I truly feel as if I am loosing my mind. Does anyone kow if there things are reversable? My eyesight is awful even with my glasses or contacts on. I am 43 and feel like I am over 10 years old. I get bouts with anxiety that give me heart palpitations. I asked so many questions before I had the Mirena placed. I was assured that the side affects where very small. I would have never gotten it if I would have know I would.end up with all these problems. I have gained weight and can't Lose it. I just wanted to say that you for sharing information. I am so glad I am not crazy and others are experiencing the same things I am.
