Mittens Coil MAJOR side effects HELP ME!

Charri1983 · 09/12/2013 22:43

I'm desperate for some help please!!
I had the mirena coil fitted in May, and removed in October. It has embedded in my uterus slightly and I was suffering bad side effects.

Since it's been removed the effects have not gone and I'm really beginning to get worried.
Not one person from my family believes me and no one is willing to help me!

I am tired all the time, have lost and am losijg huge amounts of hair... Easily over 50% now.
I get blinding headaches sometimes resulting in migraines. I have awful acne, bloating and random swelling of limbs.

I need advice on what I do now!

Please can someone advise me as it's breaking my heart that no one in my family believes me . They think as the coil has gone and they have no issues with the IUD it's me bring silly!!

Thanks!

TBH the symptoms may not be linked to the Mirena at all but a pure coincidence.

Tiredness and hair loss are classic signs of thyroid problems, or anemia ( lack of iron). Unless you have a uterine infection from the procedure and the embedding then I'd say it was unlikely to be connected with the Mirena.

You need to go to your dr and ask for blood tests and possibly a pelvic scan.
