Mirena's horrible side effects...MS?

Hello to all of you who have made me think in a whole new light regarding my Mirena.
I had mine place about 4 1/2 years ago. I have not had really any problems up until last September. I started having visual problems such as inability to focus, like my eyes felt crossed. Blurred vision with rapid head movement. Then, about a week later, started to have right arm weakness as the visual stuff started to fade. I was referred to a Neurologist because of the fear of possible MS. My exam was totally normal, and my MRI looked like there was some microvascular disease. I also started to develop tingling in my hands, but went away after about two weeks. I was really fatigued during this whole time.
Three months passed and I felt fine. About 6 weeks ago, started feeling weird again. My left pinky and ring finger hurt and eventually had intermittent numbness. I have had elbow, shoulder and knee pain. Sometimes I feel like my left knee is going to buckle. My right side is virtually unaffected. I wake up with wrist pain and my forearm went numb for about five days. My vision is pretty good, but a little blurry when looking up.
Anxiety...hmmmmm. Never thought that it would be part of my vocabulary. I have had horrible anxiety on and off since September. I have pegged myself as having MS (I am actually sitting here waiting for my final test results). I have been to two Neurologists, internist, and ENT. No one is convinced that it is MS. The second MRI didn't show much change. My Neurologist says that I am high strung and need to chill out. I have never had anxiety attacks before, and they suck big time.
Aside from the anxiety, I have also had random muscle twitches. The Neuro also said they were from anxiety. My focus and ability to articulate at times is horrible. I have had such short term memory loss that I feel like I'm Dory from Finding Nemo.
So, now I am waiting anxiously for my doctor to call, and I have my appointment to have my IUD removed tomorrow. My prayers are that all of these horrific, life changing side effects are from the Mirena and not related to a diagnosis of MS. I know a lot of you have felt the same way, and your tests have been negative. I can only hope that I fall into the same category and can join all of you in the fight against the doctors and manufacturers of Mirena.
Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts. Tweet
