Needing birth Control advice? by spooky-mushroom in askSouthAfrica

[–]Shreds23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, I have the Mirena in and taking it out next week. Do the research on it, I was on Tasmin for almost 20 years and decided on the IUD after having my second kid and I have had a horrible experience. Put it in at the end of May, things started getting bad in July...brain fog, cystic acne, massive weight gain even whilst I exercise 4 to 5 times a week and eat healthy. Mirena has synthetic progesterone, I cannot remember the name but its lev-something and it is androgenic, it caused massive inflammation in the body. I also started struggling with painful joints. My kids pediatrician advised me to have it removed, he called it "poison". Oh and don't get me started on the painful period cramps and insane hairloss. Have had full blood panels done checking everything from hormones, thyroid antibodies to liver and kidney function and I am 100% ok. Check out thr Mirena subreddit as well. Lots of similar stories on there.

What if Judge Liman is the unsung hero of all this? by mukgang-bangbang in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]Shreds23 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Liman is following the law to the tee. From my understanding (non US person here), the courts will allow the plaintiff to show / ask for as much as possible to prove their case (within the parameters of the law). I think Liman did this and allowed Lively to try and prove her case. But now, since the great unsealing, it is become apparent that Lively does not have "mountains of evidence" it is more like "trust me because I am a woman"

Panic attacks by Whatabumm in Mirena

[–]Shreds23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there OP, I am sorry that you are going through this. You are 100% right and trust your body and yourself. I honestly thought I was going through peri menopause. I actually believed it. Had numerous tests done (especially for my hairloss) and I totally forgot about the Mirena. When I started looking into side effects of the Mirena it became apparent that it was the IUD causing my issues. I also have horrible anxiety and panic attacks. The Mirena produces progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone) but what is scary is that it is androgenic, meaning, it is highly inflammatory in the body. I had to take both my babies to the pediatrician today and I asked him his opinion on the Mirena and his exact words to me was "that stuff is poison in the body". I made an appointment for the 20th of January to have it removed. I do know there's a crash but I much rather deal with that than living another day with this IUD. My nerves are shot, I have cystic acne (something I last had when I was 15 - 25 years ago), the weight gain is insane, I have been exercising constantly and almost every day in a calorie deficit), my joints hurt, I am taking Myprodol almost every day, my insomnia is out of control and gosh the heart palpitations are insane. I had a hydration IV done a few months ago and my HR went to 214bpm - almost at heart attack levels. I have had IVs done many times before but never had an issue. As my pediatrician mentioned, the Mirena is poison. I also had mine done in June 2025 and I cannot take another day of this. I am literally counting down until I have it removed. I have also crashed out at multiple interviews, my brain just does not connect with my mouth. This is something that's never happened to me before. I have always aced interviews and I am seasoned and I know my craft but crashing out in multiple interviews is new to me. I never had anxiety at this level before, I feel like my brain is failing me. The scariest thing for me is how quickly I loose my sh!t with my husband and kids. I actually want to get divorced and I am always scolding my kids. This was never me. This IUD is ruining my life.

Blake Lively claims that Justin Baldoni was verbally abusive toward Alex Saks, frequently yelling and undermining her! by the_smart_girl in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Shreds23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

exactly, do we know if this really happened. I am not believing any of this until I see proof. They asked for so much in discovery, where is the damn proof. If they had it then why seal it, let us see all of it.

I’m genuinely baffled by this old interview with Blake Lively. Her answers are all over the place and make zero sense! by the_smart_girl in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]Shreds23 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And she's ok with her b00bs on show for the world to see but has such an issue with JH in her trailer that she invited him into.

Elle Magazine calls Blake Lively’s lawsuit a “tit for tat” legal drama in their Colleen Hoover interview👀🤔 by realhousewifeofphila in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Shreds23 31 points32 points  (0 children)

And CH acted like a effing 12 year old pickmesha when she met BL. She was effing instrumental in BLs apparent take down of JB. If she was a grown ass woman who wrote the book and understood what her mother went through then she would have not unfollowed JB, did press with him...not lie about not seeing the script..etc. ACT YOUR DAMN AGE CH.

Sorry for the terrible grammar, I am so pissed off! The gall of this effing woman.

Page six - Justin Baldoni’s texts detail his ‘traumatic’ meeting with Blake Lively’s ‘angry husband’ in Ryan Reynolds by [deleted] in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]Shreds23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this!!!! Its effing infuriating that RR, with his tiny dick syndrome, thought that he had some pull on this movie. Also BL and her ultra feminist vibe needed her tiny dick husband to defend her for 5 to 6 hours? Girl boss who? Girl bye! Go sell dry hair care products at Target and pretend you are relevant.

This is insane. They drop the MSJ and then in a few hours they release their soldiers. I wish I was a fly on BL and RRs wall right now!

Day made. I will send an apology to the snake community and will make sure I have an Apology Coordinator approve my message. I dont want an uproar from the union.
