merina coil - affecting mental health

[JEWM]

Just wondered if anyone has had the impact of the merina coil on their mental health confirmed?

Had one fitted to help with endo pain.

prev had issues with taking the pill due to affect on my mental health.

I'm now thinking merina maybe affecting me also. Not sure if I need to stick it out longer.

I have mirena and I think my mental health to be honest has been all over the place anyway. Never really considered that to affect my mental health . The rod affected my mood and the injection made me put on weight and the pill was like not even taking anything . The mirena for me for a short while helped with the heavy ness of periods but still got cramps and a lot of pain. But I think anything synthetic can effect mood but then also can living with constant pain . I found this injection recently to induce menopause effected my mood so dramatically and quickly the endo nurse was really unhelpful to me said I shouldn’t have got

Symptoms at all. Of course you going to get low mood if ovaries switched off regardless of age. I’m just so thankful have a good gp and has helped me by upping my antidepressants as I said my mood has depleted and I don’t feel me and I said the only change was this injection to get me ready for surgery. I also have suspected autism and suspected fibromyalgia and with these conditions my sensitivity to medication and anything really I get reactions almost straight away and what the endo nurse told me was misinformation. I wanted to make a complaint but if I complain and she may not help me ever again as only endo nurse in the whole of my county and surrounding areas so I would be stuck. I want to complain as I felt judged and that my symptoms were not the doing of the injection. I tried to explain that was the only thing different hadn’t had any triggers and was fine and bubbly one min then the next day I was a crying moody mess. I tried to explain I have sensitivity to things and she was trying to tarnish me like everyone else. I’m a lot better now though thanks to my gp because I was worried I may not have been here for much longer the way I was feeling. So yes synthetic things that are a foreign body can effect mental health if your more sensitive to medication and lack of hormones xx please go to gp

Hi

I have had mirena about 4 years ago to help with endo pain . For the first 6 months I did not see any improvement , I suppose body needed to get used to it. Then my symptoms started to improve . After about 2.5 years I stared to feel brain fog and constant low mood , anxiety which got worse recently and I have had panic attacks. GP is unable to tell whether if it’s mirena causing this all but I do know for sure it’s due to mirena. My eno pain has come back after 4 years of coil insertion. Having no periods but endometriosis getting worse. May need surgery , Started on prostap injection last month , the gyne nurse has said that sometimes prostap and mirena work well together and she has also told me that lots of women complaint of low mood symptoms with birth control methods . Please speak to your GP . Hope this helps xx

Thanks both.

Makes sense that it would I suppose. I just feel more anxiety since getting it fitted but didn’t want to jump to conclusions and didn’t want it to be the coil but I think I know it is really.
