I received the Essure in 2007. Recently I started having episodes once a month where my bp rises/nausea/intestinal issues/muscle cramps and leg pain on left side along with sore glands in the groin. I have had pelvic pain along with cold/allergy/flu-like symptoms/fatigue/migraines and body aches. At first I thought all these were different issues and dismissing it as sinus infections and body soreness from working out but after several months of experiencing the same excruciating symptoms that continuously have gotten worse and more severe with longer down time. I have been to the Er because I thought I was having a stroke. After a EKG/ct scan and blood test that all came back normal, I have no doubt my issue is related to Essure after reading post. I have been to my PCP and used steroids with no luck only to be referred to a neurologist who can’t explain all of my symptoms. I am getting depressed not able to function normally. I feel like discomfort all day and night. I have chosen to contact my ob/gyn to get my device removed. I can no longer live this way. The fda has only followed a five year study with participants, clearly this study needs to be done over 10 years or more to be accurate!
