My name is Marie, I'm currently 54 years old, I have a 22 -year -old daughter and a 20 year old son. I put an IUD for 10 years and got an olfactory meningioma in 2011 (44 years)

Après la naissance de mon fils Guillaume en 2001, ma gynécologue m’a posé un stérilet Mirena alors que je n’avais aucun souci de règles abondantes et douloureuses, DIU que j’ai accepté par confiance.

At first, I did not have significant adverse effects, just fatigue that turned into a depressed condition over time

I thought it was at work due to my low -aged children, and my concerns of families but absolutely not in IUD.

I had more and more mood jumps and hurtful words that my husband and my children did not understand, and that I regret elsewhere. So I was going to consult my psychiatrist who each time prescribed an antidepressant to me.

I wore the IUD for 8 years (I wait for my medical file for more details) and I also seem to have had a hormonal pill. Two years before I had it removed, I had a few violent migraines and especially dazzling.

I thought it was because of the sun or clarity. But the most amazing and important of all the symptoms is to wake up in the morning thinking of my IUD, to see it in the exact location of my tumor on the front. And also to paint paintings with balls that exploded !!

So I informed my gynecologist of the gene that my IUD provokes me. She just answered me without prescribing an exam, either we withdraw it, or you are waiting for its validity date next year, I made the choice to keep it another year because it is a bit painful to remove it.

It was after his withdrawal that my migraines and dazzling became more frequent, and I had strong temporal beats and noises in my head.

J’ai donc pris la décision d’aller voir le médecin et  en février 2011, j’ai passé un IRM qui montrait un méningiome olfactif de type 2 de la taille d’une balle de ping-pong  enflammé et par conséquent, plein d’œdème dans la tête. Sa taille confirmait qu’il avait une dizaine d’années.

I had an appointment with a neurosurgeon in the hospital to have my operating (it was the only way to make edema disappear); He asked me the question well if I had put a hormonal IUD and since then I have convinced that he is the cause of my tumor. Only, already killed by what happened to me, and aware of the anxiety caused to my family, I have since been in doubt without having the courage to inform myself. I had the chance to be healed. The operation went perfectly well despite that I lost the Narine Right smell but the return to the house was very difficult; Fear, stress anxiety and loss of taste. Foods no longer had the same taste, and now I have become very sensitive to smells such as perfumes, chimney smoke etc ……

I very often have migraines and nausea (Doliprane and Dafalgan follow me everywhere) and I am always tired, I have the constant feeling of injustice and I have lost confidence in myself.

A ma dernière visite à l’hôpital en 2017, le médecin m’a dit qu’avec ce que j’avais eu , je n’avais plus le droit aux traitements hormonaux. Pourquoi? je n’ai pas réussi à poser la question; peut-être parce que depuis tout ce temps j’ai peur de connaître la vérité et de prendre conscience d’être une victime.

Now that I discovered Amavea, I know that I am no longer alone and that the strength to fight has come back,

Je sais que le stérilet Mirena est la cause de mon méningiome et les médecins le savent aussi, seulement, ils n’abordent pas le sujet.

So what I can advise you according to my experience,

It is above all not to take these hormonal contraceptives except in the event of an extreme emergency.

Beware of dazzles, migraines, temporal beats and abnormal noises,

Ask to do MRIs,

And listen to your body to talk to you ………………………….
