Brief Answer:
Yes,Mirena can cause these!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Mirena contains hormones and can be responsible for this. This is even more likely if these symptoms all started after receiving the IUD. I will suggest that this should be removed and another method of contraception used. Should the symptoms regress, then that is the diagnosis and we should no longer use it. If it doesn’t, at that time only will i recommend aggressive medical intervention.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
