Re: Mirena Problems??

hi, i hope you are feeling a bit better by now. things can sometimes get worse before they get better on mirena, as they body tries to re adjust to the chemical imbalance that the mirena has caused. also if you were prone to migraines earlier in your life then it may take longer for your body to sort things out. basically, if anyone has ever had migraines they should not try mirena or any hormone product, as migraines are a common side effect. i had migraines with mirena though i had never had a migraine before. it also caused numbness all down my left side and i thought i was having a stroke, i felt so bad. in fact my doctor said she thought i may have had a mini stroke, due to the migraine that the mirena had caused. i had odd pains in my head, and even after the mirena was out, though the numbness and migraines went immediately, i was stuck with a pressure sort of pain in the side of my head. i am still awaiting head scan results, but i suspect it will gradually go in time, and was due entirely to the mirena. i do hope that your symptoms subside very soon. it can take 3 months or so for the mirena chemical to get out of your system, so don't give up hope, just stick to a good cleansing diet of lots of water, fruit and fresh veg. and chamomile tea to help soothe your pain and nervous system. do keep us posted. good luck. x Tweet
