Re: Mirena Coil Side Effects

I had the mirena coil fitted last November 2008. I am feeling very low and depressed although i havnt spoken to the dr's about this yet. I have been steadily feeling worse, very irrational, bad tempered, crying all the time at a magazine story or the news or good news or anything to be honest. Paranoid! about everything and feeling everyone is better off than me, I feel hopeless, lost and having a mid life crisis, im 45 with a 7 year old daughter. my husband is very patient but I couldnt care less about sex at the moment!!!! I had th coil fitted after reccomendation by a locum Dr and I felt for once I had been asked what i wanted and I was so impressed by the interest I wen t along with the suggestion. i am normally a sensible rational intelligent person and I can see now that since having this coil fitted I have changed dramatically. i am going to have it removed.  I havnt had periods for at least 5 yrs now anyhow so it wasnt fitted to help me out there, it was advised the best contreceptive for me at my age and i dont have to worry about anything for at least 5 years......but i do not want to feel like this  for that long!!! Hope this helps someon else, I need to take charge and now....
