After my 3rd child I decided I was done having children. I went to my gynecologist and he suggested the newest thing. It was described as out patient, least amount of time off, just overall better than the old tubal ligation. I went soon after with my mother and he and some other doctors learning the procedure were in the room. My symptoms started slowly first with severe allergy like issues; stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and being tired all the time. By year three I was exhausted, I would have sharp stabbing pains that would drop me to my knees at least once a week. I felt ‘labor’ pains often. Heavier periods, painful intercourse. Just horrible! About 2 years after I had the baby bug and thought I want to have a baby and was looking into reversal even though I had been told that it was not possible. Through this internet search I found women with complaints of my symptoms. I woke my husband up and said, ‘ Look it’s me!’ I wanted the hysterectomy as soon as I saw it! I had it done shortly after. It has been 3 years. Pain is gone, somewhat. But the worst is that I am pretty sure this triggered a gluten intolerance. Heightened my migraines. Messed with my thyroid. Joint pain and swelling. All could have been prevented I feel if a nickel allergy test had been conducted. I was never told it was made of nickel or asked if I was allergic to nickel. Didn’t even know there was such a thing. Still trying to get better. Cysts are found throughout my body. I just live with it. In misery.
Hi, I’m so glad I found this site today!!! I’m never late with my period. I’m now 5 days late. A friend joked and asked “are you pregnant”? I told her no that I had my tubes tied (L tied, R Essure, the left side wouldn’t take the coil) Then it hit me…OMG, I’M NOT CRAZY!!! I’ve been dealing with sooooo many side effects for many years and just thought it was from getting older (now 45), or heredity. I have been itchy from head to toe for over 3 years, some days its so bad I just scratch, draw blood, cry and want to jump off a cliff. My headaches are so bad that I want to chop my head off. I sweat all the time, don’t even own a winter coat. I never had allergies, and now I do. I have pain in my right hip which keeps me awake at night. I have a hard time sleeping even without the pain in my hip. I’m always tired, have zero motivation. Depressed. Stressed. Anxiety. Lack of libido. Burns when I have intercourse. The list goes on… I was up and down all day with emotions. Happy I’m not alone and then sad that I want my life back!!! Thank you for listening.
