I had the Essure implant placed in 2008 after my youngest son was born. I have experienced dizziness, moderate to some day’s severe back pain. A few months after I had it done, my husband lost his job and our insurance. I just recently received insurance coverage and plan to go to a Doctor that can remove the implant. I’m very afraid after having found other women with similar symptoms. I feel like I was betrayed by a Doctor I trusted. He told me “this implant was the best out there and that his wife got it and loves it”. I was never informed of any side effects nor was I tested for a nickel allergy.
