I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS THE ABC ACTION NEWS STORY ABOUT ESSURE, AND INSTANTANEOUSLY BECAME TEARFUL. IT WAS LIKE A WHOLE NEW WORLD, AND WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING.
I HAD THE ESSURE IMPLANTED MAY 1, 2007 AND FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH HEALTH ISSUES WITH NO ANSWER WHY. I HAVE SEVERE CASE OF MIGRAINES WHERE I AM TAKING ABOUT 3-4 DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS FOR. I HAVE HAD FLUCUATING WEIGHT GAIN AND LOSS. I’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH DEPRESSION, BECAUSE I AM CONFUSED ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME. I WAS LED TO BELIEVE AND CONVINCED MYSELF THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OLDER. IRREGULAR PERIODS. SOMETIMES ONE MONTH IS WORSE PAIN THAN THE OTHERS.
I AM SO GLAD THAT I CAME ACROSS THE INFORMATION WHEN I CAME TO RESEARCH IF THE PROCEDURE IS REVERSIBLE.
WHERE DO I GO? WHO DO I TALK TO? WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? BECAUSE LIVING IN PAIN IS NOT THE PLAN I HAVE FOR MYSELF GOING FORWARD.
