Sara S. Sister, why are you here? This forum is designed to offer support to those of us who have suffered from side effects from the MIRENA IUD. We have been through arguably the most terrifying experience of our lives. I could care less if the makers of Mirena receive publicity from me. I am here to heal from my experience and help those who are suffering as well. Many of us are searching for alternative birth control options. If someone can offer some input about another form of birth control in an effort to help those avoid additional side effects, then thank GOD. Unless you have some words of healing and support to share, then please go somewhere else. I'm sure you could find a forum on those who have suffered from excessive publicity.
