Because the Mirena is internal to the uterus, it releases a smaller dose than an oral contraceptive (2/3). And it's slow and steady rather than peaks and troughs like a pill. Hence the side effects might be reduced.
However, the problem of side effects with a device that needs a doctor to remove it should you have problems...
I can see why you choose to avoid that risk when you had such terrible side effects.
