Mirena symptoms
Hi. I'm new here stumbled onto your site a few days ago. For the past ten years I have been through hell. I knew all my symptoms started after my son was born. I've been telling people for years that I thought they were all connected and I feel like my body has been attacking itself. Not until a few days ago did I ever think it was linked to my iud. In fact I have my second iud in, its suppose to come out in 6 months. But I will be calling my ob to have it removed asap. I want to know if there is a number we can call to have our symptoms recored. Is there legal help? I have had almost every symptom you can think of. Forgive me this list is long. It started a sensation in my left foot that felt like buzzing. I started having chest pains, heart beating fast or felt like it was gonna jump out of my chest. I have horrible migraines, both visual and headaches. One mimic a seizure. I started first with the visual. In about 30 minutes my vision was very blury and shimmering. I thought I was going blind. Then it pass. Ive had this happen several times, even when driving. I have had tingling everwhere imaginable. My feet, legs, stomach, vagina, hands, arms, head and face. I have had weakness in my arms and legs, I have dropped things because of this. I have to tell myself often lift your leg and take a step. I have pain in my legs, arms, chest, hand, feet, toes, finger the worse by far is my back. I have a pain in my back that feels like its deep in my bones. I am on medication for this pain, I've had to do physical therapy three times with no relieve, injections that haven't helped, massage therapy, acupuncture, and been to a chiropractor. None of these have ever given me relief, although the pain meds take the edge of the pain. It has been so severe that I can't walk. At the point before I finally seeked help I wanted to die instead of going one more day with this pain. The pain in my hands and wrist have effected my daily life from brushing my hair, washing dishes, driving, and picking things up. I have felt muscle twitching, stabbing pain and numbness all over my body as well. One time my legs felt like they were on fire. When I exercise or am out in the sun my legs have this all over buzzing feeling. I have swelling in my left breast, plus swelling of my legs, ankles, feet, hands and arms. I have this itch that no matter what medication I have tried it doesn't go away. I have scratched my skin raw because of it. I have had hives on my ankles and arms. I started having issue with food. I couldn't eat anything without my stomach hurting to the point that I stopped eating. For over a year I only ate one very small portion of food everyday, because I knew I had to. But I had absolutely no appetite. I lost over 70 pounds, but was put on lyrica for my pain and gained it all plus more back. I stopped taking lyrica about a month ago cause it was not helping with my pain. I had cysts in my left ovary that caused me so much pain that I stopped working out. I have achne on my face, kneck, chest and back. I have a dry mouth, with lack of siliva. If I dont have a drink on hand while eating I get the food stuck in my throat. My teeth are starting to be effect, I have so many cavities and gengivites eating away my gums. Before I got sick I had perfect teeth. I have had constant canker sores, several at a time. I have loss of sex drive(which I figured was due to having babies and taking care of small kids), pain during intercourse, even sores on my vigina. I have suffered with severe heartburn and indigestion. I become so bloated that I look like I'm at least six months pregnant. My breast have hurt and I had lumps in my right breast. I have had yeast infection, candida and thrush. Also have had blatter infections. I have foggy brain, where I can't remember things in my past, miss appointments, and struggle on words. I always wanted to be a mom and worked with kids and LOVED it, but have become irritable and moody with my own kids. I'm sure I am leaving things out and will post them as I remember. I have seen every type of doctor there is. Some of them telling me, without doing any test, that I am young and probably just stressed, basically being dismissed. Its only been about the past 4 1/2 years that I have finally been listened to. I have been tested for ms, lupos, lyme disease among others. Each new doctor going the route of ms, but all my test always come back negative. I feel like I have been robbed of my past ten years and my cbildrens childhood. I want to be apart of spreading the information on the mirena and its side effects, can anyone point me in the right direction? So glad I found you all.
