I had the Eesure procedure done in 2011. My family doctor recommened that I come off birth control. She suggested the Eesure procedure because of it being non invasive. I did some research and talked with my OB/GYN. After the procedure was done, my body swelled up. My shoes would not fit and my clothes were tight. My OB perscribed me water pills saying I was just retaining water. I still swell up in my extremities (handas and feet). A few weeks later I started breaking out in rashes. It has been hard to pin point the hives that continues to break out all over my body. To this day I am still having testing done to determine my Contact Dermatitis. This is really hard to determine becasue it can be anything you can come in contact with. I am also sensitive to all metal, something that my OB did not mention about the Eesure was the type of metal. I did have an allergy test done for the metals in the coils, the only one that was positive was nickle. Unfortunately this was not enough evidence for the insurance company to help pay to have the coils removed. My Allergist, Dermatologist and family doctors are worried of the long term effects the metal will have on my body if I cannot get them removed.
