I got my essure implant in 2009. I only have one ovary, because I had an infection in my ovary and had it removed in 2001. It went alright at 1st, but about 6 months later I developed a full body rash. I began to sweat profusely from my forehead on a regular basis and was starting to have more period fluctuations. I had told my dr I’m allergic to nickel, and he said it wasn’t a contraindication. I had the full body rash for a month or so before it settled into my upper arms. I’ve had a rash on my upper arms for 5 years now. I have regular and severe ovary pain and hot flashes as well. I get so itchy sometimes it drives me crazy. I’m only 36 and I feel 80 sometimes. I just wish I would have known about the side effects and I wish I could just have the stupid thing removed, but I cannot afford it.
