I had the essure procedure done in 2010 and since then I have experienced much of the same symptoms as others, but I always attributed the symptoms to stress or my chronic anemia. Today I realized something disturbing I was never informed that Essure contained nickel, and I’m allergic to nickel. I cannot wear anything containing nickel for longer than an hour without getting a rash or headache, and I’ve had Essure for over 5 years. I don’t recall ever being asked about my allergy before the procedure and I honestly think it’s poisoning my body. I always have the metal taste in my mouth on or off iron pills. I have gained over 30 pounds although I’ve changed my diet, and I have chronic migraines and joint pain. Twice I’ve been to the emergency room for unexplained swelling and what felt like hives or shingles but with no rash. All unexplained and given prednisone and benadryl to treat. I have had the worst mood swings and have lost my marriage due to feeling alone in my suffering and my ex-husband not being able to understand why I spend everyday irritated and bothered to be touched. I can’t be touched because my skin is hypersensitive. I’ve made an appointment to have the Essure removed and I’m hopeful that I can find peace and health once again.
