I had the Essure procedure done in April 2010. I chose this after my Doctor told me what a simple procedure it was. The no down time was perfect with 4 kids at home. Everything seemed great until a year and a half later.
The week before my period it felt like someone was scraping my insides and I was down for most of the week. My periods became heavier and I had a sharp pain in my right side. I started feeling a tingling numbness in my face which has now spread to the rest of my body. I also have migraines that feel like I am being stabbed through my right eye.
I was in the hospital for 5 days and had so many different tests done, but no answers. I had a MRI done and that showed nothing. Now I have chronic pain in my legs and the bottom of my feet, and at least once a month I feel as if I have the body flu. I have bad mood swings and PMS is off the wall. I thought I was going crazy until I read that so many women had similar problems. I am hoping something is done to take this off the market. As soon as our new insurance starts I am having my Doctor remove these before more damage is done. It feels good to be able to get my story out thank you.
