Mirena IUD permanent effects even after removal

Hi,

I'm curious to know if anyone else experiences/has experienced permanent changes in their body after getting the hormonal IUD, even years after having it removed?

After getting the mirena IUD (almost 11 years ago) I got lots of hormonal acne, a lot of sleep problems and I've basically woken up fatigued everyday since then. Feels like there's a lot of chronic stress in my system. I did get it removed almost 9 years ago, but all the symptoms are still there (although sleep has improved, but it's still tricky). I know cortisol levels are higher in women with mirena IUD (as per a study they did), but I would've hoped that my symptoms would disappear after having it removed.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this as well and if anything helped to get the body back to baseline?
