For the last few months, I have been feeling like I have been going crazy, seriously crazy. I am anxious all the time and have mood swings like like nobodies business. I have gained weight, well I have since lost 3lbs, but I started trying to loose weight because I had gained so much weight. I have an appetite, all I want is sweets; chocolate, cake, pastries, cookies, candy, just about anything with lots of sugar. Trying to loose weight has been killer because I haven't been able to control my cravings.
I have been trying to work out but due to the lack of energy, getting no sleep due to children and insomnia, I have not had the drive I need to get my fat butt off the couch to do it. Due to my messed up moods and anger flare ups, my marriage has been suffering and so have my children. My temper has been so short with them and I get to the point where I can't be around them anymore because I am just yelling at them.
I have been wondering for about a month and a half if there is something seriously wrong with me. I really didn't feel right in the head. Well I finally found out the problem. Birth control. I went to see my doctor and told her I thought that was what the problem was and she said that Mirena doesn't do that I might have a thyroid problem or a vitamin B deficiency. Well I just got the test results back today and I don't have a thyroid problem or a vitamin B deficiency.
For the last hour I have been reading all of the Mirena horror stories online and there are A LOT of them. Turns out me and thousands of other woman all have the same symptoms, with one common factor, the Mirena birth control.
So needless to say, I am calling my doctor in the morning and going off of the Mirena birth control AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!
I feel so relieved that I now know what is wrong with me and that it is a simple fix and I don't need any medication. Woo-hoo, I will be normal again soon!!
