Mirena and class action lawsuit
I too had additional side effects not reported by the manufacturer. It always felt like I was going to start my period "tomorrow". I constantly felt severely moody, crampy & bloated. After reading your website, I now know that I can possibly attribute my tiredness/fatigue, lower body aches, SEVERE acne, 50+ pound weight gain, headaches, 'less-than-hopeful' attitude, dry skin and COMPLETE LOSS OF SEX DRIVE could be coming from! I thought that I was going crazy!!! My CNP said that ALL symptoms were caused by some other problem(s) and couldn't possibly be caused by the Mirena IUD! I am such a different person since having that thing removed. I feel much MUCH better physically and mentally, my family no longer has to walk on egg shells around me, and my marriage...well lets just say we're finally back on the right track! Now I'm just having trouble getting my body back on regular cycles. "Rapid return of fertility" as stated by the manufacturer, I feel is a bunch of BS!! My sister-in-law (who by the way also had her Mirena removed awhile ago) and I are having a hard time in that department. I'm super glad that Mirena works for some women, but for those of us who it does not 'agree' with, I feel should have had a tad bit more information to base 'our' decision on. After reading about this subject on the Internet, there seems to be a lot of 'us' out there.
