Yes I have read the sid effects, thought after a month I would be feeling better but feeling worse, having call back from my gp to discuss today, been a living nightmare and hard to work due to being a self employed therapist working from home, having to rearrange appointments and spending long periods of time in bed :(

for me the side effects were fine initially however the last 3 weeks have been horrible. Now I have a feeling of pressure in my ear that wont go away.... yesterday I ended up having a breakdown as no one can tell me why Im feeling this way-

and if its the injections or the mirena!! The hospital said I had mental health needs.. i know im not mental and its actually rather sad that doctors stick us under the mental health unbrella when clearly we are struggling with the medication..

I'm a holistic and sports massage therapist and understand through my training that when the brain and body have to deal with every day constant pain then our seritionin levels are going to drop, blood pressure is going to raise and every day stresses become difficult to manage triggering depression, this is why some people suffix with pain are treated with anti depressants which does help with normal aches and pains but when it comes to endo it's not so simple
