My name is Tiffany, I am 28 years old and have had essure since 2011. I have six children and was very happy until i let a doctor convince me to get essure for birth control. My life has changed so much. I have gained almost 60lbs, My eye sight is worse than ever, i have horrible abdominal,back,and leg pain. Thats not all, I also have, dizzy spells, severe headaches, numbness in my hands,arms,feet, and legs, endometriosis. I can not have sexual intercourse with my fiance, to the pain and bleeding. My teeth are decaying, I cannot play with my kids because the abdominal pain is so bad. Essure was said to be easier, faster, and less complications than any other perminent birth control, but all I have gotten out of it is pain, stress,depression, loss of confidense and hell everyday for three years. Essure needs to be taken off the market no woman should have to go through the pain and suffering that this device causes! I just want my life and body to be normal again and cant even get my insurance to approve anything to get essure removed. We need to keep fighting to get this problem taken care of and get our lives back!!!
