Mirena

With the first mirena coil I had I didn’t really get any negative symptoms just towards the end before I had it changed I realised symptoms like pins and needles and headaches, anxiety, waking in the middle of the night in a panicked state, feeling like something stuck in my throat, migraines were to do with the coil but didn’t realise until 2 and half years into the 2nd coil that these were related. When I spoke to the Dr she was adament it wasn’t the coil causing these symptoms and was very reluctant to remove it, I had to have a couple of appointments with her before it was finally removed. The night after removal I had what I can only describe as a panic attack where I couldn’t breathe and ended up in A&E, never had this before, after checking ecg etc They couldn’t find a possible reason for it, I also felt absolutely exhausted for the next few months to the point where I couldn’t even walk up the road without needing to lie down to sleep and I am very much into my exercise and run regular so was definitely not me. After extensive research I have found out about the ‘mirena crash’ which I believe I was and still suffer with, although thankfully not as severe. I have been to the Dr’s on a number of occasions with various symptoms and asked if this could be due to the ‘mirena crash’ but I am told no and they have never heard of it before?! All I will say is do your research about possible side effects before you do get one, as stupidly I didn’t and now am living with these awful symptoms, I wish Id never had it.
