Lionness,
I'm so glad you had your IUD removed. I'm only one month out of having mine removed and I am so sad I wasted four years of my life with this stupidity.
Read this! It's only 2,500 plus comments from women with IUD's that have had problems. It's crazy...We aren't crazy!

It's hard to read it all, but you will be amazed what you learn. You are NOT crazy or alone. So many women are affected by this thing...though the doctors tell you it's so very safe! Hang in there!
