My name is Christine Accettura, im a mother of four boys. On 4-13-13 i had a tragic birth that left me near death, it was then i was advised to get a tubal because they told me if i ever became pregnant again i wouldn’t make it, but Drs. Agreed i was to weak to undergo surgery. So i waited a year because of my anxiety and depression kicked in. On 4-12-14 a Saturday morning at Planned Parenthood i walked in they took me in the back gave me a iv of medication to soften my cervix then pain meds then a reg iv bag. But they noticed i wrote i wanted to be awake well that didn’t set well with Dr’s, one doctor told me she specializes in essure placement and that wouldnt want to be awake because it was extreamly painful plus i would have to remain extreamly still if i moved it would cause bad damage or bleeding etc. So even though i was freighten i chose to go under because two women talked me into it. 20minutes in i woke up done mild cramping gave me meds called vicodens and sent me on my merry way! Well this is when it all started two to three days in i was sitting on my sofa watching tv with my two younger sons and boom it hit me extreamly bad pelvic and stomach pain i took i ibuprofen 800 that didnt help at all. I tried to sleep it off but nothing. Then the next day after inwas confided to the sofa i was doing the same thing watching tv with my two younger children and it felt. As my eyes were crossing and thats when i started to get extremely nervous i jumped up and called my husband and i said i can’t see he rushed home and i got so dizzy i had to lay down that whole day and i remember my son saying mommy is always sleeping, that made me feel so bad because just when i starting to recover from one thing this kicked in. But then things started to progress i started getting painful headaches to the point i couldn’t sleep i was in tears so i went to the ER and they took tests they told me i have sinusitis which i never had but headaches will continue at this point, then electric shocks in my finger tips, metal taste, electric shock on my left side of brain, tiredness, i felt nauseated all the time, throwing up, weak, heart Palpitations got worse, i was standing at work and i removed myself because it felt as if my hip bones and tailbone was imflammed so bad. I had chest pain, dizzyness, eyes crossing, (While driving), bloating, weight gain, painful periods i have, nervousness, brain fog, my hair is falling out, ill flare up from time to time and be in such pain it feels like giving birth, my skin is looking my older, my scalp has itched so much it bleeds and created sores, my head gets super tender ever brushing make it hurt. I don’t have the passion to do much anymore i mostly sleep and on my good days i pop a pain pill and go out i shouldn’t have to live like this i recovered a near death experience to only set myself up for another of not worse one. I have four amazing beautiful boys that i love deeply and also a husband too. But sometimes i cant beat this.
