Hi! My name is Melanie and I and my husband decided on the essure procedure after our 4th child in 2012. The Doctor made the procedure sound wonderful and it was great there was no down time. I wouldn’t have to miss any more work or not be able to help with our kids. My husband did a little research but there wasn’t much out about essure yet so we talked to the Dr. again and she assured us that this was a great procedure. I had the procedure done in Aug and went back 3 months later to make sure that they we blocked and they were. My husband and I were exited that everything worked out so well but then my health started detearating. I have terrible headaches, fatigue, back pain, leg pain, sweats, joint pain, dizzy spells and fainting. Some days my pain is so bad that I can’t get out of bed. I’ve been to several Doctors and I’ve been told that I have POTS Syndrome and now they are saying it’s lupus but I STRONGLY believe that my immune system is attacking itself because of the coils. I’m fighting to get them removed. I would love to have my life back and give my husband and kids the mommy and wife they deserve to have. Thanks!
