Day 1 my Mirena is out July 2nd 2007.

I am going to post for everyone how I am feeling since the IUD is out. Today my doctor didn't even question why I wanted it out. She just said how long did you have it in 6 months? No, I have had the new one in for 3 months. Remember I had one previous to this one so I have a total of 5 years and 3 months living with the Mirena IUD. Started in April 25, 2002 had the old one taken out Febuary 2007 and new one put in March 1, 2007. I of course have had:
1) Weight gain
2)hard to breathe comfortably
3)Migraines
4)Anxiety (panic attacks like something is going terribly wrong)
5) Depression (feeling like your worthless)
6)Lack of sleep at night
7)No energy all through the day.
8)Hair growth under chin
9)Hair loss (thinning) on top of my head
10)dizzy spells
11)light headedness
12)Pain in lower and upper back
13)Major pains in the uterus
14)Acne
15)forgetfulness
16)hot flashes
17)sweating more than usual.
There are many more but of course the forgetfulness has kicked in again.
I didn't think I had any problems all those years and yet I was a genie pig and my body was healthy so when the side affects happened I just shrugged them off like it was just the days events that made me feel less happy and more moody. I did go to a shrink in 2005 just in case I was lossing my mind and she said I may have ADHD due to the way I was thinkinng and talking. My mind wondered and couldn't stick to one subject. I was skipping around and was never relaxed. I didn't want to talk any medication for my symptoms for I wanted to let my body cure itself.
Well here I am 5 years later and had only three months with new
IUD and every possible horrible side effect has taking over my body. Today is the day I had my doctor take it out. It didn't hurt just a quick discomforting feeling for about 2 seconds.
I will keep posting my moods almost everyday so anyone who reads this can know how long it takes for me to feel 100% again with every side affect slowly going away day by day. I really want to see how fast my hair grows back on top of my head. That was the worst nightmare I think I have ever had besides the Anxiety & Depression they have meds for those but not for lossing hair.
Good luck to all who are in the same boat. I really am glad no one has died from this or become mentally ill either that we know of.
God bless till next time.
