Hi my name is Tonja. I am a 38 year old mother of four daughters. I had my last child May 22, 2012. I had the Essure procedure put in August 2012. A short time later I started to experience side effects that I didn’t have before then. Pain in my back and ribs. Very bad pelvic pain. Brain foginess. Mood swings and rash. I told my Dr about it and he really tried to make me believe that it had nothing to do with Essure. I had surgery June 18 2014. When I woke up I found out that they had only looked inside with a camera claiming everything was fine and it wasn’t the cause of my pain. He said I would be fine now. A week later the pain and the symptoms returned. Now on August 19th a day after my 39th birthday I will be getting a full hysterectomy in order to get rid of the Essure. I didn’t plan for that but I see no other way. I just wanna be well and healthy and get back to my normal life with my family. I thank God everyday for my E sisters and Erin Brockovich for helping me to get through this. Also for getting the word out about this destructive device. Thank you so much.
