I have had the Mirena IUS for about eight months or so. I had it inserted at the advice of my OBGYN after the birth of my second child, and intially had only very slight cramping that went away. Lately, I feel like I am going to die, I have irregular periods, painful lower backaches, blurred vision, I see spots, memory loss, confusion, bloated, weight gain, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever and the chills, dizziness, nausea, I have occasional bubbles/movements in the area above my stomach that you can actually feel and see(like a baby kicking!)I almost thought that I was pregnant again! Recently I have been to my general practicioner who told me I suffered from anxiety and prescribed daily meds. I also work in the medical profession and strongly disagreed with my GP and his diagnosis. Since, I continue to have the same symptoms and I have been to cardiology, opthamology, dermatology, and rhuematology departments complaining of these symptoms. I have had a chest xray, CBC, and a stress test, all of which are normal ranges. I spoke with my OBGYN about the symptoms and my concerns with the IUS, but she had not heard of these type of symptoms and side effects from this device. The doctors make me feel as if I am going crazy. I am convinced the only thing it could be is the IUS, so I am seeing my OBGYN this week to have the IUS removed!! I have never felt this bad in my life. I would love to hear from anyone else who may suffer with my same battle.
