Re: Where is Dr. House when you need him?
These symptoms are definitely the Mirena. I can relate to numbers 1,4,5,7,8 I get these feelings regularly. In fact, I'm currently experiencing #1 and #8.
#1 My acid reflux is so bad I believe it affects my balance. I feel alittle dizzy or off after I eat. I also get chest pain rght btwn my bosoms. I first thought it was a heart attack too. I too have gas a lot and difficulty moving my bowels. If I do move my bowels I don't release much of anything.
#4 I really dislike this feeling. It feels like some type of fluid is in my skull bc when I shake my head it really hurts like its moving and I get an instant headache afterwards. And then theirs times when my head feels like snap, crackle, and pop. It feels like my temples are enlarging and my head is going to explode. Subsided somewhat since removal but B/c I still feel it so it remains a factor.
#7 back pain like no other due to its constant soreness n stiffness. I try to reach n touch my toes and although its really painful to do my thoughts is stretching is helping in the long run.
#8 turtleneck feeling...Now I'm a turtleneck queen well I used to be but not anymore bc I really feel like my throat is closing up on me. I feel like I'm suffocating myself if I wore a turtleneck on top of this feeling. My guess is it's due to the acid reflux or maybe our esophagus (ignore spelling).
Honestly I wish I had the answers as to why but I don't I only know that ur not alone and I can relate to many of these feelings too. I too experience finger stiffness but what I've noticed is that their stiff with water retention and then theirs times when their stiff and flat as if someone sucked the blood out of them and lefted them lifeless. I always contributed to lack of iron but perhaps not. Gurl this evil device has me bewildered. Its been rough and an emotional wooden rollercoaster ride 4 me but healing takes time so prayerfully we're all getting closer to our healing.
