My name is Shelly, and just had a visit with my OBGYN regarding all my pain (back, abdominal, skin irritation, bloating) I felt like I had to fight for the way I felt, defending myself, u see I don’t go on web m.d., but I felt as if the doctor just rolled his eyes as if because of Erin Brockovich being involved it was a joke. It really hurt me bacause I felt very strong about my issues with the Essure, ( I had the procedure in September 2010), I went to a back doctor with no success, physical therapy, dermatologit’s regarding my skin irritation, all with no success, I see the articles with Erin and it’s as if I feel the doctors laugh at me thinking because of her that it must be the Essure . Well I’m here to tell u thankyou Erin and the many women that have come forward because now I know why u feel the way I do and I’m not crazy. I don’t want to mask my pain with pain pills, which is all i have been given. I truly believe my pain is due to the Essure and I am scheduling my surgery tomorrow to have them removed tomorrow (hysterectomy). Thankyou again to you Erin and all the women that have told their story and allowed me to open my eyes to the true problem!
