..As much as I am relieved to finally feel that I finally have the answer to what has been plaguing me and my health– my life and those around me– for this past year, and a bit refreshing to know that I am not alone, I am extremely saddened and frustrated with all of this. Especially with our medical industry…
To say the least, I had Essure put in almost two years ago. And since then, more so in the past year, I have experienced: massive weight loss (nearly 20 pounds unintentionally on my already thin frame); increased migraines; irregular periods; painful intercourse; severe period cramping; strong vaginal odor; chronic neck and lower back pain; chronic fatigue; hot flashes; night sweats; on and off swollen lymph nodes; monthly episodes of not being able to physically move; daily waves of nausea; chest pains; TMJ; and because I have been in and out doctors and ER’s and diagnosis’ have all been the same– Nothing found– doses of depression. These symptoms came after Essure. It’s been a hard and what felt like ‘crazy’ road when one minute I am happy, healthy, and full of life. And the next, feeling sick all the time; crumbling slowly.. Walking around knowing something inside is not right, while everyone is telling me differently, or putting me through loops to then tell me differently.. Not able to explain what I am actually going through to close friends and family.. I was really starting think I was going absolutely crazy. I have spoken to the doctor that did the procedure. But I am getting nowhere with him, nor will I– He’s nervous in a nutshell. So I am seeing a couple of other doctors this week about the possibility of doing the removal surgery; also preparing myself to go through with a full hysterectomy should that be what is needed to make me feel and ‘be’ better. I am sorry we are all having to go through this. But with saying this, Thank God! we are not alone and that this is finally coming to light, giving us the healing we need and so deserve. Healing and love to all.
