Re: Mirena side effects, PLEASE help?

Please don't blame yourself. I think we are all just victims of this IUD. We were raised as kids to trust that Drs. know everything. I wonder if they are underinformed about this thing as well. Too many have said their Drs. deny the side effects that they are having are due to the Mirena. My Dr. said there were'nt any side effects and I believed her. My only concern was if it had latex in it as I am allergic to it. I wonder if silicone could be an issue too. I have had an IUD in for 6 yrs. and never realized the symptoms I had were related. I thought I was starting menopause at 41! Duh. I had it out 16 days ago (before finding this site) and boy am I glad that I did. I hope everyone seeking normalcy will have it soon. It's a good start reading the posts on this site. Good luck and hope you feel more 'normal' soon.
