I am 36 years old and have had the Essure for almost 8 years. Since then I have had multiple symptoms I had never experienced before and I keep just telling myself it is changes with age. I often feel decades older than my age related to low back cramps for NO reason, serious mood swings almost exactly a week before my period, change in skin with acne that has scarred my face that I never had as a teenager or young adult, anxiety, involuntary neck musvke twitching when my anxiety gets really high and I don’t even know why I am anxious, tremors, fatigue, seriously abnormal heavy menses that is mostly clots vs flow, an isolated incident of a blood clot, weird unexplainable embarassing bruises on my legs (some size of baseballs), heart palpatations, inability to concentrate without being easily disrupted and startled, forgetfulness, headaches, sleep irregularities, hot flashes, changes in my hair texture and appearance, tingling of my feet and hands, frequent flu like symptoms like body aches, feeling feverish, and sensitivity to cool/cold temperatures, I also developed a chronic rhinitis but passed an allergy skin test with just a few mild to moderate scores, and as of last month I now have an ovarian cyst. This ALL developed after my 2009 Essure procedure and obviously there is a long list of symptoms, but these are not all-day everyday. More like periodically, but after years of on and off symptoms (some sending me to seek MD advice) they are getting more exhausting. I am an RN and have sarcastically diagnosed myself with dementia, CVA, ADHD, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and PMDD. After joking a few years…..it’s not FUNNY anymore….most of these symptoms just keep coming and going and coming and driving me nuts. I wish this on nobody except I would gladly let someone borrow it for a year just to get a comprehensive experience of the vague but absolutely real symptoms. Yeah….fibromyalgia…. That’s fairly new on the ICD10 list…should it be called post procedural Essure Syndrome? JUST FRUSTRATING and somewhat debilitating. I am thankful there are more of me out there who have had these issues since their Essure, therefore I don’t feel like I am just a big sissy that complains about things that don’t all fit together for a single diagnosis, but seem like a plethora of multiple problems. Someone needs to help all of us find out how to fix this, I have NEVER felt this plagued in my life and (believe it or not with the above mentioned symptoms) I am a person who you would never suspect of this if you met me.
