Brain Fog, Anxiety, and Mental Plummeting?
Hello everybody,
I got my mirena IUD in about a month ago. First week was fine, with minimal side effects or changes. Week two and onward I started experiencing terrible mood swings followed by treacherous brain fog.
I deal with bad sleep, always have, but have not necessarily ever dealt with this bad of cognitive functioning: like forgetting things that just happened, having a hard time with word recall, and feeling like i can’t keep up banter with people, let alone sometimes even know what’s being said to me.
In addition, and to no help at all with the mental fog, I’ve had insane mood swings. Moreover, I have dealt with mood changes over the course of my life, but boy oh boy is this waaaay worse. I get irritable with the drop of a coin, I have terrible rumination (way more than I experienced before), and really low lows. I’ve always been able to keep myself from crying in public places and for some reason I can’t do that anymore.
Is this because of my IUD??? Are these symptoms that go away????
