"Most of my girl friends love their IUD's but so far I'm on the fence. About a six weeks in I started to get really sick. Jaw pain, migraines, vertigo and nausea, cramps, exhaustion, confusion, and unpredictable histamine reactions among other things. I went to 4 different docs including my gyno all of whom said it was unlikely from my IUD and couldn't find any reason for the illness. I kept getting worse. Finally I asked my gyno about intercranial hypertension caused by my IUD and after researching it she agreed that was a likely culprit. The point is not every bc works for everyone. If it's not for you don't let a doc tell you it's all in your head. Just keep asking questions."
