Re: Mirena causing thyroid problems?

I am on my 2nd Mirena and have loved not having my cycles however being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism since being on Mirena I have had so many battles to deal with weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, headaches, body pain, hot flashes. Recently I made a lifestyle change of regular exercise and clean eating and still weight is an issue. I have lost some and some inches but the battle is real. We are re-balancing my meds for thyroid but the doctor suggested it might be the Mirena after doing some research I found side affects from Mirena are the same as thyroid as well. Now I have my blood checked regularly for the thyroid and nothing would have shown me the Mirena. After Thanksgiving my Gyno will be getting a call to remove it. I have had unexplained swelling in hands in feet, bloating, doubled over pains in stomach at times and I am prepared to deal with a monthly cycle if it will provide me with getting rid if the issues.
Found an article for natural urban mama in this same issue if you look it up. Tweet
