I have read several things from women about silicone in the mirena device and silicone poisoning. I have a friend who, three months after mirena was placed, developed a bunch of neurological symptoms -- weakness, twitching,swallowing problems, etc .... She had an EMG done and it came back abnormal. Doctor's are telling her it is ALS. She has found several posts by women about mirena and neuro symptoms. She had her mirena out a couple weeks ago.....
I just found this article today about silicone poisoning. These women were told they had ALS diagnosed by EMG but later were found to have "motor neuron disease SYNDROME" due to silicone poisoning from breast implants!
MIRENA IS BAD NEWS and if there IS a possibility of silicone poisoning from mirena, something called "motor neuron disease SYNDROME" and permanent nerve damage IS a possibility.
Wow! That explains some serious stuff. I so wish that Drs./scientists would be willing to explore this. I know that the Mirena is not a breast implant, but we are left to do our own research and try to find explanations for our problems. If my neurological problems have been caused by myelin damage (although my MRI was clear), maybe that's why I'm feeling better now that it's out and I'm taking cod liver oil and lecithin everyday (to rebuild myelin). It's how my friend (who does have MS) has been treating herself, and she is now in remission without using drugs. I just hope I can heal completely and use my right arm normally someday.
