Hello, I had the essure procedure done in April of 2008. In November of 2009 I discovered I was pregnant with my 4th child. The doctor who did the procedure wouldn’t even see me so I just went to a new doctor. After I had my son I was told I needed additonal birth control because the ‘tubal’ failed and agreed to a Mirena. I’ve been dealing with unexplained illness and pain ever since. I am just now learning of all of the problems associated with the essure and I cried as I went through the sypmtoms list. I was relieved to finally know what was ‘wrong’ with me. I’ve been back and forth to the doctor and the emergency room for years with no result other than Prozac, which I refuse to take. I haven’t started my ‘medical journey’ as of yet. My first appointment is on Nov. 8th. I have severe swelling, joint pain, headeaches, heartburn, fatigue, weakness, numbness, tingling, sharp stabbing pains in my abdomen, lower back pain to the point I can’t stand up straight, hot flashes, mood swings, vibrations, chest pains, dizzy spells, nausea and blurred vision. I just want my life back. I just want to feel good again and to enjoy a day.
