Hi

I had my mirena out as it was giving me awful pain and putting weight on me (ive put 4 st on due to medication and illnesses)

Hope that you get better. ..remember it may take about 3 to 4 cycles before hormones regulate again

Hi there I started getting anxiety 6 months after I got the mirena it got very bad to where they classified it as agoraphobia I gained about 60 lbs with it and my menstrual cycle was a mess. I'm glad you are doing good with yours everybody reacts different it just wasn't for me!

I also tried the mirena for 9 months to treated suspected adenomyosis. With ultrasound scans I knew it was in the right place and doing it's job keeping the lining of the womb thin. However for me it gave me horrendous sciatic pain to the point where at times I couldn't walk. As I kept a migraine pain diary I could see a pattern which seemed to show that my ovulation hadn't been switched off by mirena. I think it is the case that it doesn't completely switch off the cycle for all women. I have found lots of other women on line reporting similar back/sciatic problems. If it works for you it can really be a great help with endometriosis but it certainly can also cause problems.

I really hope you get relief now from the anxiety.

Hi,

I had to have my mirena removed in the emergency department of my local hospital 6 weeks ago as I was nauseous (hadn't had sex in months due to 2 laproscopys to treat stage 4 endo - so I knew I wasn't pregnant) and in severe pain and it is the best thing I did.

The nausea and sharp pain disappeared within 2 days. I am now able to sleep more than 4 hours a night. I have also stopped smoking (anxiety and insomnia were torture for the 3 months I had the mirena inserted). It is not a good drug. Lots of women have issues with it.

I have found light exercise, acupuncture and trying to eat better has helped with the pain management and has reduced the anxiety. The gyne mentioned that it can take a minimum of 2 - 4 months for your hormones to recover, so take it one day at a time as hormones can play havoc with our minds.

If you are getting sharp pain, try a clove oil heat pack (youtube video shows now it works) it acts as an anti inflammatory and is amazing for pain relief. I have had to stop taking pain killers cos they were not working, the clove oil heat pack is really good and also helps you to relax.

Good luck.
