your weight loss is awesome news for me! i did want to ask about your hands though. i have been having horrible swelling and pain in the joints of my hands and sometimes my feet. it usually happens first thing in the morning and seems to gradually get better as the day goes on. i took my mirena out yesterday after stumbling on all of the info on the net about how bad it is. i was having all kinds of crazy health issues that i did not have before the mirena, night sweats, swelling, weight gain (30+lbs) hair loss, extreme fatigue, hot flashes, my doctors even thought i had lupus! so i was wondering first of all if you have had any of these other symptoms and if so have they gotten any better?
thanks for your post!
