Hi my name is April, I had the Essure procedure done on 12/3/2013 in my Ob office and was put out for it. Since then I have experienced migraines, constant pelvic cramping and pain, weight gain, bloating, muscle pain, leg pain,thinning of my hair, severe anxiety and depression and my whole body is in pain ALL the time. I am currently talking to my pcp getting blood work done and recently had it come back with my thyroid coming back high so i have to go back for more blood work to have it checked again before I get started on another medication. Before Essure I was healthy and was active. Now I find it hard just to get out of bed. If we can stop other women from getting Essure it would be amazing.
Thank you for letting me share my story.
