Two years post mirena removal, still need help
I am at the end of my rope of what the hell could be wrong with me. Long story short, had mirena for two years, suddenly became a different person, sick with horrible cramps all the time and very moody. After multiple ultrasounds, and Dr putting me on birth control pills on top of mirena to stop ovulation, Dr tied my tubes and had the mirena removed. That was two years ago. I was told I have pmdd and unexplainablepain three weeks out of the month. Not to mention what I call my "dark cloud" that pops up from ovulation to the end of my period. Where I can't even think straight, I went from working 2 jobs, school part time, and taking care of my little ones, to not being able to load the dishwasher or do a load of laundry. A new Dr put me on sublingual progesterone and it was a godsend. But still suffered with severe pain. So Dr and I decided to have a partial hysterectomy in hope that it would help with symptoms and heavy periods. Here I am four months after surgery, and right back where I started, except Dr has no idea what is wrong. No cysts, no adhesions, no reason for what I feel, which all started when I had mirena. I am now being sent to a gi Dr to check for any problems. Last night I stumbled on this site while making a timeline of when I started feeling like this. All of this started about four months after mirena was inserted. I never thought that could be the problem. And I never thought that my symptoms would last for two years after it was removed. All I want is someone to tell me what is wrong with me. And no one knows. I see a new md next week and I am insisting on a silicone test. I have also been carrying around a slightly elevated white blood count that suddenly showed up about three years ago, this cannot be explained by any of my doctors either. Can anyone please tell me could this be from the mirena? Because I feel like its a shot in the dark after all the birthcontrols, hormones, ultrasounds, er visits, ct scans, bloodwork, MRI's, and two surgeries. I am losing hope and feel like I am crazy.
