The after-effects of mirena are horrible for most people I have interacted with. I was talking to a co-worker of mine and she pointed me to a site that talks about naturally cleansing the body to get rid of the toxins built up by mirena and what you can do to feel better and get rid of the side effects. It has a lot if information and I'm thinking of using the program. Here is the site, I hope it helps and gives you information you may be seeking. http://detoxscientific.com/mirena-weight-gain/
