Hi Erin! My name is Tabitha Pearson. Im 36 yrs old and I have 2 children. After my 2nd child, I was looking for a more permanent type of birthcontrol. My docter strongly recommended the essure. I agreed to it. Ive had my essure in since 2010. My body has changed drastically. It was ok at first but now…its changed. I am having 2 periods a month and they are very heavy. I cramp up so bad that it feels like someone is stabbing me in my sides. I have no energy anymore to do anything with my children. I at first thought that it was old age but the more I read these stories, the more I believe it is from essure. The list of symptoms go on and on. Right now, I am experiencing no bowel movements. I am seeing a gastroenterologist Friday to see if it is my intestines or not. Please help us. I have talked to my docter about it and she doesnt think it is from essure at all. Its only in my imagination, is what she says. I am from North Carolina. Can you please help us.
