I am not a doctor or medically trained, therefore you should check multiple sources to verify the safety of anything that I mention. Secondary hypertension can be caused by Hypothyroidism. Secondary HTN by definition results from an identifiable cause. This type is important to recognize since it is treated differently than essential HTN, by treating the underlying cause of the elevated BP. HTN results compromise or imbalance of the pathophysiological mechanisms, such as the hormone-regulating endocrine system, that regulate blood plasma volume and heart function. Many ...

So, for 75 years old female, who has been facing high BP in the range of 120-180, what could be the ways to bring it down? The person takes mucusless diet, taking Dr. Christopher’s blood stream and blood circulation formulas. While these formulas have been of great help in the past, since the last one week, the BP has increased to 120-180 and these formulas have been unable to bring down the BP. She also takes Arjunarishta (Ayurveda based), which helped in the past, though has not been helping now. Whenever the BP is high, she feels nausea a lot. Suggestions about both short term m ...

Hello ladies.All I had ever heard about yeast infections was that you get “cottage-cheese-like discharge,” which unfortunately didn’t happen in my case.

To answer your question about still having symptoms after the Mirena removal. Yes, you still have the symptoms after the removal, in fact mine got worse before they got better, Just like you, I had a sense of relief & symptoms subsided for a few weeks, but then I had the ”crash” & everything got worse. Anxiety , depression, loose stools, lost weight, insomnia, hair loss & much more.   [End]

Hunger and fatigue symptoms are most likely reactive hypoglycemic (HG)symptoms. Others have reported developing HG after being on Mirena. If this has developed, there is no cure but is managed by diet. Do not fall into the trap of eating sugar to feel better. You will get a lot worse in the long run and can develop type 2 diabetes. HG is a precursor to type 2 diabetes so your diet is crucial. Look into hypoglycemia diets that suit your lifestyle.

Having the Mirena caused a massive imbalance in my hormones for me and for many, many women on this forum - no doubt about it. Having it removed is the only way to try to correct this, but the removal is also upsetting to the hormones because that synthetic progestin is removed. If you look up the symptoms of ”hormonal imbalance”, I’m sure you can find everything you’ve listed in your post. Our hormones affect EVERYTHING. So, it’s a matter of patiently waiting for the hormonal swings to even out over time. This is why things can get worse before getting better. Some women hav ...

Ive had a ton of tests done including yeast tests that come up negative. I know this is not normal. I’ve never had any trouble with dryness and yeast infections. It doesn’t itch or smell, its just there! I’m definitely going to have my IUD removed. I cant deal with this! I’m so glad that I’m not the only one. This has certainly been helpful reading all of the comments. Thank you ladies...   [End]

Wow, you’re symptoms are so, so similar similar to the ones I had. I am much better now at 4 1/2 years post removal, but it took me some time, and I still have some lingering symptoms. I’m glad you have it out. May your recovery go smoothly! Don’t be alarmed if sometimes things get worse, or if symptoms go away and then pop up again, or if something NEW comes up. This is normal. But overall, over time, you should improve. Good luck!, Diana   [End]

Hi I’m so glad I found this forum, I feel like I’ve been going out of my mind trying to figure out what has been wrong with my body. It would of been 2 years this July that I would of had my Mirena in, I had it removed 3 weeks ago. So glad I did. My symptoms just got worst and worst, I thought I had MS, Cancer, Type 1 Diabetes plus more. My body just never feels normal no more, I’ve had panic attacks, heart palpitations, muscle weakness to the point of not being able to walk for up to 10 minutes, neuropathy, sometimes the pain in my hands and feet are out of this world, with burning, pi ...

Hi guys I have done about 10 liver flushes in the last year or so. I want to continue but had to go on a contraceptive pill. Does anybody know if I can still do the flush? Will it affect the effectiveness of the pill? getting pregnant is not an option :( Maybe I can do the flush monthly, when I am on my break of a week from the pill? Anyone knows? I know how bad they are for your body but no other methods of contraception works for me..   [End]

You weren’t addressing me, but I’m gonna answer. I believe yes, in some cases, we may have them passed in utero, or pick them up as a child or toddler crawling. A healthy immune system can keep them in check until later in life, or toxicity in the body breaks down the defenses.   [End]

They can be since medicine can leave your body with Heavy Metals toxicity or other smaller problems can slow your body down Peristalisis wise. Slow bowels means baterial, candida, and parasite permissiveness. I had hypothyroidism that was not being treated when I was in the middle of the old scales and I had all three because my bowels slowed down. Best wishes for a healing.   [End]

I’ve been doing a full body detox cleanse for a month now, a gentle version as I was tappering off prescriptions I wanted to end. Now I’ve started a 30 day parasite cleanse, using wormwood, garlic, neem, cloves, pumpkin and papaya seeds, and a cleaned up version of my normal vegan diet. Soon I’ll be taking a worm out product by Trilight health. Much to my dismay, I’ll be needing to take the plan b pill in two days (I had to wait for shipping) It is the one pill version, but I dislike using it at all. I prefer to use herbs but I’m very fertile right now and the condom broke. No more ...

Thank you. I’m getting my blood drawn in 1 hour to check for the silicone antibody. I’m hopeful this will be helpful. My OB nurse practioner says, ”Its not the Mirena.” I told her about all of these stories that are so similar to mine and she removed it an hour ago.   [End]

So glad you found the information you need! Yes, it could take a while to recover, and it seems the longer people have it in, the longer it sometimes takes, but that’s not always the case. I hope you recover quickly, but don’t be surprised about the ”crashes” that most of us have at various points after removal. Good luck, and keep us posted on your recovery! -nile   [End]

I am so relieved to finally have an answer thanks to threads and websites like this one. In 2010, shortly after my son was born, I had the IUD placed for heavy bleeding. I thought I was just having anxiety attacks and anger issues due to the stress of a second child and family struggles and went to a psychiatrist. He prescribed xanax and was convinced I had PPD. No libido either. He prescribed several different antidepressants, all just made me worse or didn’t have any effect at all. The mood swings have been crazy for almost 4 years!!! I had a schwanoma removed a year or two later from my ...

Hello, I am currently on the CleanseSmart total body cleanse (2 pills in the morning, 2 in the evening). I started the cleanse earlier this month, about 8 days after my normal period had ended. Well, a couple days later (10-11 days after my period ended), I started another cycle. This is very VERY strange for me. I’ve never had spotting or irregular cycles. I’ve been on the NuvaRing for 6+ years and never had any problems. It’s about 2 weeks later, and I’m STILL on the cleanse, and STILL having my period. Idk if this is worth mentioning, but I was also diagnosed with HPV in October and h ...

Hi, I am 28 and had the mirena put in in September 2013, after my second baby was born. I started having neuropathy in my extremities, which eventually spread all over. I have experienced numbness throughout and changes in my vision. I have been to a neurologist and had an MRI of the brain to rule out MS. So far, nothing abnormal has shown up. I can barely work and it is difficult to take care of my children due to the immense fatigue, eye pain, headaches, and nausea that I feel constantly. I plan to have the IUD out soon. Hopefully the symptoms will subside. We should educate other woman ...

No, it’s not normal. Are you sure your period didn’t start immediately after intercourse? Even so, that’s an awful lot of bleeding for a period. I suggest that you go for a GYN check up ASAP.   [End]

All of this sounds like it could be from the Mirena to me. I had many of those symptoms. I had to fight my doctors for a year and finally started getting some relief after removal. If you want it out quickly, why not look into Planned PArenthood? They might remove it and for much cheaper than your OB would charge.   [End]

Thank you Nile... It has been a long 6 years...I have been told it is my thyroid, and it is just having to take on too much...No one has ever said anything to me about my BC.

I know a lot of women end up with thyroid issues after Mirena (myself included, I’m now slightly hypo, and have a benign lump on my thyroid). I also would get the sudden dizziness. (I’m 5 yrs post removal, so that’s gone away for me) And the moodiness, acne, back pain and weight issues are experienced by so many of us. So it sounds like Mirena is your issue, and you’d do well to get it out asap, and see if your thyroid straightens out any. Most of us have had doctors deny Mirena could be an issue, so be prepared for that and don’t take No for an answer! Good luck and please keep us p ...

I had the mirena inserted 6 weeks post partum and have had it now for right at 9 months. I bled heavy to spotting for about 6 weeks after insertion. Since then, I have had my regular period every month until about 4 months ago. I started having a normal period which lasted approx. a week and then a week AFTER my period, I bleed this dark brown sometimes black looking blood for about a week.

IN EARLY AND PRESENT CHRISTIAN AND CATHOLIC HISTORY, VEGETARIANISM: REINCARNATION, PAPAL INFALLIBILITY, CONTRACEPTION, MARRIED PRIESTS, WOMEN PRIESTS For 3 centuries after the death of Jesus, early Christians practiced Jesus’ vegetarian diet. Jesus was an Essene from Galilee. Paul too took the Nazarene vow which included being vegetarian.

Hi Cynthia, Thanks for your insight. Because I had the IUD for almost the full 5 years, I have a feeling it will take me longer to recover. There are some moments through out the day, where I think ”Wow I feel normal”. And Night time rolls around and its maddening. I called Bayer yesterday and reported my symptoms. Apparently nervousness was reported in 1% of those on Mirena so it is listed as a side effect. Who I blame for giving me this awful thing, is my former OBGYN who is male. He said that ”Mirena is what they use for BC.” Wish someone would have explained the side effects. Bec ...
