I posted my comment before reading all the other ones; I do think the comment about calcium supplements is interesting.

I found myself CRAVING CRAVING CRAVING nuts and anything with cream in it, while some of my other standby cravings faded. It was so marked that I googled it to see what my body might be telling me.

I discovered that nuts are high in magnesium, which help your body absorb – three guesses – calcium. And cream… calcium… duh.

On top of this, I’d just started drinking more caffeine (three words: two under two), which also inhibits calcium absorption.

So I guess I’ll be looking into that as well as reading up some more on Mirena.

I’m late reading this and commenting, but I have Mirena and I SWEAR it has made me more emotional.
The doc is all like “whatever, man, it keeps your hormones like THIS” (and makes a long horizontal line with his hand at about ribcage level).

To which I reply, yes, I’m sure that it is a straight line, very even amount of hormones, but you need to draw that straight line at about EYEBROW level. Or maybe a few inches above your head.

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to post stuff like this without some sort of warning message…something like “Warning To Men: This Post Contains More Information Than Is Good For You, Move Along To The Next”.

…yes, I understand that that’s a childish and immature reaction but no matter how much denial society is in, guys cringe at this shit.

I never had it either. I joke that the older I get, the more chemically imbalanced I am. Being that we are older now, we know our bodies pretty well. I changed a couple medications in 2009 and promptly went right back to what I had started with. I could identify that the crazy was growing and morphing into something I wasn’t going to be able to live with.

I have a son. I recognize behavior that men still have as grownups so it’s my job to break those habits. Most of my friends have girls and when I watch these little girls, my jaw drops. They are born with the crazy emotional hormones! That has got to suck intensely for all parties involved. Eeeeh… life.

Sorry again! I’m crazy without Mirena – any suggestions besides tying my kids up?

Oops – my toddler was clinging/screaming/making me lean on my laptop so I didn’t really need all those extra letters.

My best friend just got it taken out for the hair loss and freaky craziness that even I couldn’t put up with. When your closest friend can’t deal with you, it’s time to get it yanked!
I also convinced her to get her dog neutered because he was nuts (not anymorezzzzzz0.

I am rolling! My body is wracked(sp?) with laughter and it’s late in the day so no one is here except my boss right next door. Trying desperately to maintain while tears run down my face……..I love you!
