Mirena link to Urticaria and Angiodema

Hi All hope your all doing fine
Ive used Dr Google in my desperate attempt to find the trigger for my 9 month old Chronic Urticaria and Angiodema (Lips mostly). I've found this discussion here on the link between the Mirena IUD (which I've had since early 2015) and this device . I've mentioned that this Urticaria started "out of the blue" I honestly have been thinking an autoimmune like Lupus, but I've been tested for everything possible and the doctors are stumped, I've spent good money on Rheumy specialist and about to see an immunologist but i think the will be just as stumped. I am now almost totally convinced that this is my device causing at least the CIU, Angiodema and some other side affects, that I have mistaken for Lupus. I want to have the device removed asap and will see my G.P this week. Im 56 years old and used this device for heavy bleeding with the onset on menopause. I think that maybe changes in my hormones have alerted the need for the hormones that the device expels into the bloodstream.
lets see! I will keep you informed! I'm praying this is it! End of hives!! and the end of Prednisone which is the only thing that controls my huge outbreaks.

Hi Alijah2.
I can confirm that there is a link between urticaria and the mirenal coil. I had same issue. It took me 18 months to make the link. Had mirena removed and it took another 18 months to be 100% hive free. so so glad I did my research as GU M nurse completely dismissed me.
