I've been coming to realize (8 months post removal) and thousands of dollars to naturopath doctors that perhaps the what the Mirena destroyed the most in our bodies started with the gall bladder (which helps filter toxins). Drinking apple cider vinegar is a gall bladder cleanse, so sounds like the right direction. I just started acupuncture treatment to strengthen the gall bladder too and it has been helping with my last side effects, being sleep issues, but so far haven't lost the weight. But all the other side effects are gone. Annoyed that it has taken so long to figure this stuff out...Thanks for everyone's postings!
