Miriana coil - ruining my life!

Hey, I'm looking for other ladies who are/have experienced horrible side effects from the miriana coil.

I've had mine for around 8 months and can honestly say it's been a horrible experience. I've only just realised that all my problems started when I had this thing put inside me.
Symptoms:
Weight gain - around a stone
Hair loss - my once thick hair is now rats tails
Excessive sweating - it literally drips down my back, arms and upper lip.
Feeling bloated - my stomach has never been big and now I look 4 months pregnant.
Constantly tired - need coffee a lot!
Increase in breast size - gone up 2 cup sizes
Sex drive - zero!
Depression - due to all of above is bad!
Periods - heavy and long!!

I called my local clinic today and said I want it out, I've got an appointment tomorrow, but the lady on the phone said they can't guarantee they will remove it! WTF! It's my body, I don't want this thing in! Either they remove it tomorrow or I'll remove if myself in front if them!

Has anyone else had a nightmare with the mirina? Or just me?

Had mine out two weeks ago after 8 horrible months and feel like a different woman. I had weight gain due to constant sugar cravings, bloating, zero libido, painful sex if we did attempt it, random spotting and sudden bleeds, depression and lethargy, coupled with sudden mood swings. Don't take no for an answer!

Hi everyone im after some advice, i've recently had the coil fitted to stop heavy bleeding and I can feel the strings and I feel like I constantly need to push, my doctor never did an internal to make sure it would be in the correct place and it was put in rather quickly I had it fitted and a smear within 10 minutes which I dont think is right.

Am i just panicking?

Any advice would be appreciated.
