I had the Essure done a little over 8 years ago. Ever since I had this done I have had high blood pressure, migraine headaches, numbness in my legs, arms and hands off and on, I have no sex drive and I also have ringing in my ears and heavier periods, and my mood swings are really bad . I also have stabbing pains in both of my sides. I also have other symptoms too. At the time I was told this was the best and safest procedure for me. Afterwards after doing my own research I found out that 1 reason not to get this procedure done was if you have an abnormal uterus, mine is tilted. When I told my OB about the problems I was having I was told that it’s not reversible and if I were to have it undone it would cost me 10 grand or more. I would not recommend this procedure to anyone. I have warned my friends of this, and others I know.
