I got essure implanted in 2011. About 1 1/2 to 2 years ago I started noticing that I didn’t have as much strength and energy as I had in the past. I really didn’t put much into it and my health started gradually declining. I constantly get headaches, pelvic pain and pressure, I need to sleep more each day, I can’t stand for a long period of time (no longer than 15 minutes, actually) without hurting or getting extremely tired and dizzy, constant bloating and swelling in my legs, feet, hands, my period went from once a month to every 2 weeks, my blood flow is ridiculously heavy then real slow then medium then just spotting then stops for hours and back to extremely heavy over the course of 10 to 11 days, all symptoms get worse and more frequent while I am on my period. I have black out spells and seizures. My husband started googling my symptoms and we found a bunch of stories that matched mine……..the one thing I had in common with all of these women……the essure birth control. I am now currently trying to find a doctor to help me and listen and believe me.
