Re: crazy...question for all??! Thanks KARA!!

Hi, I'm 7 weeks post removal and have just finished my period, a little heavy but mostly normal, not much pain and anxiety. I had the mirena for 3 and a half years and had most of the bad side effects. When I removed it the side effects have either gone or are vastly improved. I think because I got so frightened about what the mirena did to me that I was imagining that I had every disease possible. My doctor told me I was hypothyroid, had high blood pressure and was pre diabetic. I decided that I wanted to take control of my own health, I'm so tired of doctors telling me I need drugs and special diets and that the mirena had nothing to do with all these symptoms.

Weeelllll, I have the great pleasure in reporting that I now have normal blood pressure, normal thyroid and my blood Sugar is under control, and no thanks to any doctor. First step was get rid of the horrible mirena, next step was to get on the net and research everything I could about my symtoms, next step was to get some hormone tests done and buy myself a blood pressure monitor and blood glucose monitor.

I decided that I wanted no drugs and have opted for natural treatments. I have changed my diet to all low GI foods, I take pottasium and magnesium for my blood pressure and drink cellary juice every day. I have dropped all but the smallest amount of Sugar from my diet. I use a natural progesterone cream for 2 weeks of my cycle as I was estrogen dominant. The results of using all these natural remedies is that now I have lost weight, feel sooooo much better, and all the symptoms I had are either gone or back under control. Knowledge is power when it comes to your health.

I don't worry about any other diseases because I know my own body a lot better now and I think it really helps to be in control of your own health. I hope my story helps, please believe that it does get better and the best of luck with your health,
