Week 10 - Michelle's Health Update (Mirena Crash)

[@yestohappiness2721]

I am so thankful that you were so brave to post this - we are battling with it too. My daughter removed her Mirena IUD 2 months ago and she is in VERY bad shape. She is in college and calls me and cries for an hour (I want to go pick her but she wants to stay with friends)... she has not been herself since having the IUD put in over a year ago - then we learned about the side effects of the IUD and she removed it. Then we learned about the side effects of removing it - she has described exactly your symptoms. We have done all the blood tests we could think of and she is also extremely anemic so she is taking iron too. Vit D is ok because we all take 5000 IU every day due to covid (vit D is probably the only thing that helps tremendously in not getting covid even when exposed to it). Thank you for mentioning that hypothesis about the pituitary gland being over active - I will research that. I also just found out that vit B6 is good for balancing hormones (it works in the liver) so I'll send her some B vitamins. We sent her SAMe for depression - the Naturmade brand (seems to be better). I cannot believe how many girls and women I have found on the net that have this 'Mirena crash' and no doctor is researching how to help them! My daughter transformed from a highly confident, vibrant, straight As, hard working 19 yrs old to a fragile/depressed/suicidal/barely holding on to school 20 yrs old. Nobody seems to give a F*** about women's lives!!! We need to take matters into our hands - please post if you find anything that worked for you in this Mirena battle. Thank you once again!

how is your daugter doing now, when did those things balanced out?

[@yestohappiness2721]

@@nikapregarc9325 she has been better for the past 13mo... it has been horrible until april 2022 - she almost didn't graduate college for having a bad crisis last april... all good since then! I'm grateful for every day she is ok, not knowing when the ax will fall again...

[@nikapregarc9325]

@@yestohappiness2721 Did she took SAM-e long term. I will try this supplement also.

I removed the Mirena 3 weeks ago, it has been crazy. First week I was extremelly stressed all the time, second week I got my period and I felt overall better. By the end of the second week I started to feel sad and this week I am just crying all the time. I get extremelly sad for a few minutes, then I get better, then I get sad again, then I have a good day, then I just see a minor thing and I crash again. It has been awful, I am searching for something to help my body to balance again. I also had the diziness and anxiety. I have been controlling with mindfulness and I was already on therapy before, but it's tiring. This is not normal. Thanks for sharing. I will make sure to check my blood levels and vitamins now with the doctor.

Experiencing the same thing and no Dr wants to acknowledge it. Thank you for sharing because this helps a ton of women! Some women this has affected permanently or at least it seems, for them. Thank you once again for sharing!

[@MelissaRodriguez-g8y]

Thank you so much for this!! It TRULY helped me. I am currently going through the same. Hang in there! ❤THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! 🌸🌸🌸💕

[@JesseCottam]

You are amazing, Michelle!

[@naivang1173]

OMG, I’m experiencing the same thing. I have my IUD taken out after 4 months due to increase headaches, weight loss, decreased sex drive and loss of appetite. My food cravings are all gone. I don’t even want to think about food. A week after my IUD was taken out, I experienced sudden weight loss, fatigue, exhausted, feeling hungry, anxiety and mood swings. After a month of taking my IUD out, I still feel the Mirena crash.Thank goodness I found your video. I thought I was going crazy!

[@Inspiredbylethabo]

Hi there, thank you for sharing. I’m considering having mine removed after a month of having it in. How long did your crash last? And did you experience any abnormal bleeding? I’ve seen quite a lot of cases from woman who have had their IUD removed.

[@stephandozzie]

Thank you for sharing! Getting my Mirena removed today. New subscriber!

[@huniebon]

I feel all the same symptoms WITH my iud. Oh my! I'm at the end of my 2nd one. So 10 years total. I'm so ready to be rid of mine. I'll only miss NOT having a cycle.

[@beatahp335]

Same here, similar symptoms but with Mirena still in, going to remove it soon and so worried that it may get even worse after the removal but hopefully I will get better in a few weeks or months fingers crossed 🤞, all the best to you too ladies

[@ceolagilchrist96]

How are you doing now? I am currently coming out of the Mirena Crash. It's been rough!

[@ADAM5th]

Hi!! How long did the symptoms last for you?

[@DianaPerez-nx4hk]

Thank you for sharing I had mine for 5 years too and I thought everything was going to be normal again. That I was going to lose all the weight I gain that my mood swings will be gone that my hair was going to stop falling so many things and I got mine removed on January . But everything just got worse .

[@jenfawcett6021]

Oh my gosh, this is happening to me, too! It's been so confusing feeling soooo different and just not normal. Have things gotten better for you? How long did it take? Did you have to do any hormone treatment or anything like that?

[@mayraalejandra8865]

Omg Im going thru the same thing I had skyla it was removed a month ago and currently on the crash 🥺

[@leanyland8933]

It is very helpful. I am in the middle of mirena crash and I definitely understand when u are talking about some days u can see the sunshine and then the next day u can be right back in the darkness. This video is older .....did the mood swings and anxiety ever go away ????? I would love an answer. I am on month 3 of the removal and it feels lime some days i am completely falling apart

[@tylersantjer5996]

My wife is going through the same thing. How are you feeling now? How long did it take you to get over it?

[@nicoleann344]

@@tylersantjer5996 I am 8 months post removal and I was in bad shape. It has taken working with a Naturopath to help. I had to have a dutch hormone test done to see what had happened. Mirena had crashed my estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Please get her this same test 🙏

[@tylersantjer5996]

@@nicoleann344 thanks for the advice. We're actually already waiting on that test kit. Know of any treatments? Or just, it takes time...

[@roxannerivas7663]

How are you feeling now, how long did it take for you to start feeling more of yourself?

[@ashtinwinchester6212]

Did you ever have bad headaches or migraines.
