birth control
"I have been battling anemia for the past three years as a result of very heavy, painful, irregular menstrual cycles. I have been diagnosed with Estrogen Dominance, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and a tilted uterus. My gynecologist inserted the Mirena IUD on 10-Jan-11 in order to attempt to better regulate my out-of-control cycles. I unfortunately, am a Mirena rejecter. I experienced EVERY possible side effect associated with this device: cystic acne, hair loss, weight gain, constant headaches, shooting pain in my lower back and down my legs, severe fatigue, mood swings, constant bleeding and excruciating abdominal pain that almost sent me to the ER on four separate occasions. Mirena IUD REMOVED 08-Feb-11. Almost all side effects gone!"
