My name is Kelly, I am 27 years old and have 4 beautiful children. I had my last child October 2013 I told my dr that I wanted my tubes tied and he said that Essure would be the best option for me. I said a few more times that I just wanted my tubes tied but he kept saying how much easier this would be on me and that there was no surgery so no down time which would be great since I have four kids. I had Essure placed in November of 2013 by December I was feeling different, weak, no energy, very moody, headaches. I started my period when I was 10 years old and never had a cramp until I had Essure put in and when I had the first period after having it placed was worse then labor, and the bleeding was insanely heavy. It’s been this way ever since , my period can last anywhere from a week to three long horrible weeks. To fast forward a bit to 2015 everything is still terrible haven’t had any relief if anything I have gotten way worse. I had to have the right side of my thyroid removed in February 2015 because of a huge lump pushing my windpipe over, acne of my shoulders and back have been there since three weeks after having it placed, my knees hurt all the time, my lower back has indescribable pain, have sharp pains in my stomach even when I’m not on my period, hair falling out, and handfuls of other things that shouldn’t be happening to me. This is not what I signed up for and shouldn’t be put through this nightmare, I want my life back not just for me but for my kids and husband too, because it effects them just as much. So if any ladies are thinking about getting a permanent birth control do NOT choose Essure (E-HELL)
