I am 43 years old and I had the essure in August 2010. I thought it was a great thing, the recovery time wasnt long and it wasnt very costly out of my pocket. I was 39 when I had it and 1 year later in August 2011 I had my last menstrual cycle. In April 2012 i was diagnosed with going through menopause early. Shortly after that I started having chronic pain in my legs, then back, next my shoulders, my arms, my stomach, eventually over my entire body. At one point I was having trouble going to the bathroom without taking something. No one could tell me what was wrong with me. In 2013 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and now im in constant pain, I very seldom do anything besides go to work and it take all of my strength to do that. Just recently I have been taken off work for this unbearable pain thats causing me to be depressed. I asked my doctor if the essure could have anything to do with my problems and she assured me that it didnt. I hope and pray someone read my story and never have to suffer the way that I do.
