Here is my story: I have a son with special needs and after genetic testing and the high possibility of having more with the same condition I decided in 2008 to use the ESSURE device after the suggestion of my doctor and research about it. I am suffering a lot of medical consequences that where not informed to me. By researching and discussing with more ‘essure recipients’ I NOW know that the side effects of this device are devastating for a lot of women and their families. I live in daily extreme back pain because of this device, always worry about the possibility of the device to move and damage parts of my body. Always worry about the possibility of getting pregnant, (that % is way too high in real life that the % that BAYER proclaim) or even worst worry about having a miscarriage.
I understand that when a product is developed there are too many WHAT IF but by now the FDA have a huge group of women informing the terrible side effects of this device and is there MORAL obligation to stop this product in order to save lives of women and babies and preserve the quality of life of women looking for a SAFE permanent birth control.
