Re: Numbness in hands and feet

Hi! Numbness down my left hand side and in my head was just one of many serious side effects I suffered over almost three years with the Mirena. Sometimes it was numb and tingling at the same time! Very weird.
Other side effects were joint pains,memory loss, dizziness, sleep problems, brain "fog", mood swings, depression, itchy skin,repeated yeast infections,terrible fatigue,headaches,hair loss,nausea, swollen breasts,chest pains,loss of sex drive, and worst of all three Grand Mal seizures. These were full fits, where I collapsed shaking uncontrollably,eyes rolling back in my head,went blue etc and ended up being rushed to hospital unconscious.
Over the three years I went to the doctors, hospital and neurologists on numerous occasions and had MRI and EEG scans. But no cause for ANY of the side effects was ever found.I was convinced I had some kind of incurable disease that hadn't been detected.
It was only when I started researching myself on here and other internet sites that I realised what was behind my problems. I had the Mirena removed in December and within 24 hours many of the side effects had disappeared.I've been improving ever since and am so relieved to have my life back and be happy with my wonderful family again.
