Mirena + coil and itching

[whycantwegoonasthree]

Just posting here because I can't find any clues online. I had a Mirena coil fitted in November, and have Oestrogel (2 pumps daily) and Vagifem (largely to help manage a prolapse).

I general things are better - esp. the prolapse symptoms which is great.

I've gained a bit of weight, which I expected and will manage with diet and exercise, and my tits are H U G E - which I'm not sure how I feel about (partners are predictably delighted) and I am concerned that they're still growing… I mean they will top-out eventually, right?

But my most troubling symptom is itching. All over, including my scalp. All. The. Fucking. Time. It's driving me nuts.

My skin isn't dry, there's no rash, I haven't changed laundry or skincare products.

I have a follow-up appointment in a month, but I'm concerned I may have scratched myself out of existence by then or gone mad.

Any insights as to what might be causing this? Anyone had similar?

This is me!! I cannot find any cause for the itching…..it’s driving me nuts! No rash, no hives, and it’s all over, my eyebrow, my knee, my side, my head! Literally everywhere and it’s driving me crazy! I’ve had my coil in for nearly a year now….and I was idly wondering if the two could be related. However my itching has recently gotten worse, I still can’t work out why - having gone through all the obvious causes. I’m wondering if it’s hormonal as I’m due on soon….but hard to tell as the coil has changed my periods. It can actually keep me awake at night - and when my scalp starts - it’s awful! I’ve even ended up washing my hair at 2am once to get relief!! The Doc isn’t particularly interested - but I have an appointment on Thursday to discuss it with her. 😖
