Mirena ruined my life.

So I got my Mirena IUD inserted at the end of June 2017 because pills gave me migraines from hell and eventually they would need to up my dose every few months. I have been on 4 different bc pills, so my gyn suggested the Mirena IUD. It would be perfect for me and my situation she said. No horrible side effects she said. Yeah right.

Fast forward to December 2017. I had cystic acne covering my face. Both sides of my cheeks were covered and my chin. I have NEVER had acne except for the occasional pimple or two during my period. I gained 15-20 lbs, was bloated every single day, my hair was falling out, and was unbelievably moody. I got it removed at the end of December 2017 before Christmas.

It is now, May 4, 2018 and I have dark spots covering my face. I am currently on 3 medications that my dermatologist prescribed and they are SLOWLY healing my face. Trying to lose the weight I gained is harder than ever and it use to be EASY for me to maintain my weight before the Mirena IUD. The bloating took months before it went away. My family doctor actually had me get an ultrasound on my ovaries to make sure I didn’t have any cysts on them because apparently women were getting cysts while on Mirena. My hair has stopped falling out as much as it was and my mood has definitely improved.  Please, if you are thinking about the Mirena IUD, google it first. There are tons of stories just like mine on the internet. It works for some people, but if it does not work for you, the consequences could be terrifying. I wish I would have done more research before I got mine.

Influenza Vaccination Consent Form: Key Facts for Patients

Influenza Vaccination Consent Form: Key Facts for Patients

At Kearns Medical Centre, we always put patient safety and informed care first. Prior to undergoing the flu vaccine, it is essential that all patients fill out the Flu Vaccine Consent Form. This enables our medical team to examine your medical and vaccination histories, current medication and any known allergies and reactions to vaccinations. This ensures that the flu vaccination is safe and suited for you, even when you use Mirena.

If you already have the Mirena coil or thinking of having the Mirena, it’s essential that this is stated on the consent form. This will enable the medical professionals involved to advise and reassure you. If you have Mirena, you can have the flu jab, but it’s essential that the communication channels are good so that the best service can be delivered.

Filling out the consent form prior to your appointment saves time and makes for an easy appointment. Do you have questions about the flu shot, the consent form, or Mirena? The friendly staff at our medical office is always happy to assist you.

Life changes. I Only posted this because its necessary. Women dealing with #fibroids or other debilitating reproductive issues; cervical cysts, endometriosis etc... DONT SUFFER IN SILENCE! Make your family & friends aware of the things you're going through so they can at least be emotional support for you. ESPECIALLY THE MEN IN YOUR LIVES SHOULD LEARN ABOUT THIS. 💚 all my years of having a menstrual cycle from Teens/college & adulthood etc., my cycle was NEVER painful, nor heavy or inconsistent. 2015 when i got pregnant, I had a fibroid GROW due to the hormones/estrogene/progesterone we produce more of during pregnancy. AFTER giving birth to PJ, my birth control of choice was the #mirenaiud from Oct 2015- March 2019. I had no menstrual cycle for nearly 3 years. (MOSTLY I BREASTFED PANDY FOR 2 WHOLE YEARS SO NO PERIOD). For all of 2018 with the IUD i began getting BV consistently. #bacterialvaginosis. Antibiotics barely helped & my body was rejecting the IUD. Nauseous all the time, loss of appetite, cramping, headaches. So i Forced my GYN to have the IUD removed in March 2019. My AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE GYN tried to INSIST another form of birth control right after taking of the Mirena after i expressed letting my body DETOX from the IUD hormones still in my body. Also having her only discuss with me that my fibroid couldnt be surgically removed, & have the segment of the fibroid thats growing on the inside of my uterus to be shaved down, but no other options. Since my menstrual cycle had finally came back in April, I've had 3 days of HEAVY HEAVY BLEEDING, where I am changing heavily soaked pads EVERY SINGLE HOUR for 3 days straight, then my cycle would just vanish until the next month. I've never had cycles to where PM to AM when i wake up to my pad, panties, shorts, bed sheets AND mattress protector underneath are stained with blood. I AM NOT USED TO THIS. 🙄😫😑 This is like culture shock to my body & my mental. I accept what my body has transformed to as the woman/mother i am now & the changes that come with child birth & the body after. As they say, your body will never go back to what it used to be before kids.💚 #fibroidsawareness #growup #itsjustblood https://www.instagram.com/p/BztGTsgAvN1/?igshid=110bberlhh0qf

The #faeriefolk left a very special gift for me in the shape of a moon and star in my garden!! A beautiful omen of healing! I have incredible news, everyone! Today marks the one year anniversary that I’ve dedicated to healing my chronic health conditions with the #MedicalMediumProtocols. For those of you who didn’t know, I’ve been suffering and surviving for the past two years with seizures, severe dementia, memory loss, neurological system malfunction, hormonal imbalances, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, severe brain fog, personality change, disorientation, long term arm and body injuries that wouldn’t heal, digestive disorders, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, etc. These are only a tiny fraction of all the symptoms I’ve had to endure due to the #MirenaIUD, a late stage #EpsteinBarrVirus, and #HeavyMetalToxicity. I’ve been living on only fruits, vegetables, and wild foods for the past year, mostly raw, as well as herbs and vitamin supplements. The progress has been great! Although I’m still experiencing my symptoms, they are all very slowly becoming much less severe. The horrible pain in my arms is slowly subsiding, the seizures are decreasing in quantity and severity, my digestion is strengthening, my memory is getting better, the depression and anxiety are much less severe, the brain fog is slowly getting better, my hormones are balancing, my energy is returning, and the overall inflammation in my body is decreasing. I’M PROGRESSIVELY REGAINING MY LIFE AND RISING FROM THE ASHES!! I’ll be honest, this has been a ridiculously slow healing process with good days and bad days, but surely I’m getting better!!! I’m going to estimate it may be another six months to twelve months before all my symptoms are completely gone forever, but after the fighting through and serving the hardest year of my entire life - I’m beginning to feel sincere optimism for the future. I just have to extend infinite gratitude to the love of my life, Robbie, for staying by my side through all of this. You’re my world, my love. I love all of you so much! Remember to keep fighting, never give up, and believe in your body! You will heal! Enteral thanks to #AnthonyWilliam and Spirit!

A Mirena side effects lawsuit filed late last month accuses the manufacturer of the popular IUD of not doing enough to warn consumers about the potential for pseudotumor cerebri, or PTC, associated with the long-term birth control device. According to Court records the plaintiff has suffered from vision problems and a build-up of fluid since acquiring the device.

If you have used the Mirena IUD and been diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri, don’t hesitate to contact our law firm today. You may qualify for compensation.

post #5 in #kelseysiud! hello, my internet #birthcontrol, #sexualhealthand #reproductivehealth aficionados! just updating the #kelseysiud hashtag journey of my #mirenaiud! I have now had my#mirena for 10 months (10 months#postiudinsertion and about 1 year and a month since I made my first post about getting my IUD! time flies!!) and have absolutely no problems to report.. I don't even notice it's there. it almost seems silly to say that I have had no problems at all but it's completely true. however, I do have#pcos, so much of my issues I tend to attribute to my #endometriosis, or my#hypothyroidism. with me, typically, I have a bit of acne on my face and I am still overweight. but, since having my mirena inserted, I have been able to lose 20 pounds! my original weight before my PCOS and hypothyroidism issues was at 120, I'm now around 160 and when I got my mirena inserted I was at 180. I still deal with my bouts of depression but I have had that for years and in no way find it to be aggravated by hormones, as I've always used hormonal birth control (the #deposhotprior to my #minastrin and #mirena) and during the times I was not using a method of hormonal birth control, did not feel any change in my mood compared to when I have been using hormonal bc. but I've also not had a period since getting my mirena, which is really wonderful for me because when I get periods, they tend to last for weeks (and sometimes months) at a time, and are immensely painful- several times before I was in so much pain and losing so much blood that I was hospitalized. with my mirena, that seems to be a thing of the past. of course, there's issues with everything, but I personally have none to report. with that being said, I do have the comorbidity of PCOS, hypothyroidism, and endometriosis- but I don't find any of those conditions exacerbated by my mirena. only happy things to say!! 💕 just be sure to check your strings! (btw this is a picture where I'm holding an old IUD called#progestasert and a #paragard, not a mirena [but I would love a mirena])

Mile 137

SOOOOO I will be getting an IUD put in.... in about 2 weeks from today. It's the Mirena IUD. I am... honestly scared. My Gyno and I have come to the conclusion that Birth Control Pills are just not strong enough for me but they stopped giving out higher dosage pills years ago because of the increased risk of Uterine Cancer, so the only options left for me now are IUD and Nexplanon again. Lupron didn't work for me and I had heavy bleeding on that and Depo Provera made me gain WAY too much weight, which is an increased risk for my other health problems. She said that the IUD is FDA approved for stopping periods or at least slowing them or making them dramatically lighter and lasting only a few days where as Nexplanon IS NOT FDA approved for that. She gave me statistics, which I can't remember, however I am apparently one of the VERY FEW people who reacted differently to Nexplanon (Which was called Implanon at the time). When I had it in, I had absolutely no periods for 2 and a half years until I started having heavy bleeding due to Uterine Fibroids and my Endometriosis. So this time I am going to try something new, I will try the IUD and HOPE that it works for me because I can NOT stand this pain again. It is causing me so much frustration and anger. I am the kind of person who takes that frustration and instead of becoming depressed or upset, I get angry. That's still not good... I don't want to get pissed all the time! But I just have to keep fighting. Not to mention that all this bleeding is NOT agreeing with my UC. As my Gastro put it, having your period is a VERY good laxative and I've been having diarrhea every time I bleed. So the longer my bleeding is, the longer my "flare ups" last. Humira is still working for me and I love it, so I just need to get my Endometriosis taken care of and everything SHOULD be fine. On Monday, I will be renewing my Medicare Family Planning which will cover the Mirena IUD as well as renew my Richland Care (A form of Assistance, since I do not have Health Insurance). If anyone has any experience with IUDs, I would love to hear from you because I am really scared. I'm mostly afraid of the procedure of them inserting it... I don't know how it will feel or if it will hurt or the risk of them perforating my cervix and infections and all that! So ANY information would be GREATLY appreciated!!
