The Mirena, an iud, is actually designed for women with heavy bleeding, as it contains a resevoir of a progestin that slowly leeches out and is applied directly to the endometrial lining. Many women stop bleeding altogether and stop menstruating while they are using a mirena. This is quite different from the regular type of iud which does tend to cause heavy bleeding.

I have never noticed any relationship between hormones and my neuropathy, my neuropathy just seems to keep trucking along no matter what does or doesn't happen on the hormonal front.
