"i&#039;m 24 years old; i&#039;ve had the mirena for 2 1/2 years now. i&#039;ve been getting migraines and horrible headaches since i was 17. having the mirena hasn&#039;t helped my headaches, but i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s made them worst either. i am happy with the way i don&#039;t and haven&#039;t had a period since the insertion and my cramps are nothing like the ones i got during every period. there is no burning up, cold sweats, or nausea. i have had strange tight cramping when the weather gets colder that lasts a couple of minutes to an hour and lower back pain with every cramp. i also can&#039;t find the wires every month, but find them some of the time. my sex drive has increased and my partner can&#039;t feel the wires during. overall i&#039;m pleased with the mirena."
