Re: Bearded Lady Removes Mirena After 3.5 Years

Good for you! I'm so glad that you found us. This is an amazing forum for women who understand, all too well, what you are going through! We lift each other up during crashes and celebrate with each other during the good times. We are truly "Mirena sisters" here. As much as I hate that we all have this in common with you, let me be the first to say, "Welcome to the family." :-)

I have a blog that I update frequently in case you are interested in following along. I try to include as much uplifting comments as possible as well as messages to Mirena victim's family members (what has happened to the woman they love, etc.) as much as I can to try to help. The address is http://www.mylifeaftermirena.blogspot.com


If you or anyone else has something that they would like to see addressed on the blog, all you have to do is let me know. That blog is for US...and for saving other women. We all can be a part of it.

As far as the cystic acne/facial hair. I didn't have the facial hair, but I did have the deep cystic Acne all around my chinline for awhile. When I detoxed, it got worse for about two weeks (because of the huge amounts of toxins leaving my system, I'm sure), but then it went away completely, and I haven't had an issue since.

I'm so happy to hear that you have had it removed! Now...it is a "wait and see" game for you. For some women, they seem to heal right away and never have a problem again. For others...most of us on here...it is a LOOOONG healing process that includes multiple crashes. You just never know. What you can know, though, is that we are all here for you during all of it. Getting it out was your first step toward recovery, so congratulations for that!

Big hugs to you. Again--welcome!
