The essure birth control has been a complete nightmare…for the past 2 years I have been having migraines almost everyday. Along with joint pain, heavy periods when I do have them and not to mention the hot flashes…gained a lot of weight and I’m always tired…go to a neurologist for my migraines, which every test they run comes back normal. I have had my thyroid checked, mri of my head, testing done at my gyno office as well..the doctors basically look at me like I’m crazy. This has completely ruined my life. I’m only 30 years old I shouldn’t feel like this! I want this thing out, but I keep being told that I can’t have it removed unless I pay out of pocket for a hysterectomy. I’m sorry but I think that’s bullshit. This is all because essure doesn’t want to take responsibility for any of these problems and insurance doesn’t want to cover it because I’m technically already fixed…I have lost my job because of this due to missing so much work…I want my life back, I’m sick of missing out on family things with my kids because I’m stuck in bed. I really hope they finally start to listen to all of us women who have had problems with this procedure.
