I had Essure inserted 2 years ago as an alternative option to tubal ligation. I am highly allergic to nickel, and was never asked, informed or tested for nickel hypersensitivity. I have chronic back and adominal pain. My stomach is bloated like I am 4 months pregnant. My periods are terrible (pre and post). I thought I was just getting old (mind you I am 47) or going through pre-menopause until I read an article on Facebook. I immediately contaced my doctor and I was told that I am in NO danger and it is ABSOLUTELY safe. I have an appointment December 3rd to discuss removal. We will see what happens???? I am very upset that this is all about making money. For the FDA to approve the removal of nickel hypersensitivity contraindication from the Essure procedure Instructions for Use (IFU), to further help Conceptus gain traction in its domestic business, is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard! Keep you posted.
