Are You Experiencing Vision Problems, Migraine Headaches or Memory Problems After Being Implanted with the Mirena IUD?
There’s a large variety of birth control product on the market today, so you’d think it would be easy to find one that fits your lifestyle. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, and many women end up trying out several different types before they find that one that works best for them and their partner.
Mirena IUD has been the choice for millions of women because it doesn’t require a surgical procedure, (like having your tubes tied), there’s no daily pills to take, and it’s effective for up to five years. Little did the public know that this device had serious side-effects that have hurt thousands of women.
The device has come under criticism over the last several decades as thousands of women have filed complaints with the FDA stemming from several conditions caused by the device. Some of the Mirena lawsuits assert the birth control device poked holes in organs. Additionally, other Mirena lawsuits say that the devices can move around in the body. Most recently, hundreds of women filed lawsuits asserting that the device gave them pseudotumor cerebri, which symptoms include:
- Changes in the frequency, severity, or duration of migraine headaches
- Blurry or dim vision
- Dizziness
- Difficulty looking sideways
- Double vision
- Seeing flashes of light
- Moments of blindness
- Headaches that start behind the eyes
- Headaches that get worse with eye movement
- Hearing your heartbeat in your ears
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain in the neck, shoulder, or back
- Tinnitus – a whooshing sound in the ear
- “Halo” vision
The product liability lawyers at the Plymale Law Firm are reviewing potential pseudotumor cerebri lawsuits for women throughout the U.S. who have experienced problems after receiving a Mirena birth control implant.
