I had a rash in between my toes which seemed to coincide with vaginal irritations. I had many of the other side effects as well. I had mine removed on 4/17 and have not had a rash since, nor vaginal irritations, nor backaches, nor many of the other side effects. I still suffer Depression off and on but not to the severity or length of time as when my Mirena was in.
Yes, what you are experiencing is most likely from the IUD although your doctor may tell you otherwise. For many of us on this website, including my own doctor, they do not believe Mirena can cause side effects but it does (even the information that comes with the Mirena states there are side effects.)
You know your body best. I, myself, feel much better since it has been removed. Hope you feel better soon as well.
