    MERCURY AMALGAMS ARE EXTREMEMLY TOXIC AND CAUSING SEVERE, DEBILITATING HEALTH PROBLEMS WHICH RESULT IN NEEDLESS SUFFERING AND DEATH. THE PROCEDURES FOR REMOVING THEM NEED TO BE COVERED, AND THE DENTAL PROFESSION NEEDS TO BAN USING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

    I have suffered complex health issue and crippling medical bills due to Essure. My life, my health and my family have been negatively impacted by the negligent process by which this permanent birth control device was introduced to doctors and consumers. Please save other women from experiencing this unnecessary suffering and pain by refining the research and approval process for medical devices. Thank you!

    I had The Essure procedure done July 11, 2014. It wasn't until last month that I realized that all of my problems, headaches which are like lightning bolts, nausea, dizziness, joint pain, muscle pain, severe mood swings, etc, are side effects from the Essure coils. Coils made of nickel and PET fibers. Coils that are poisoning my body and that of thousands of other women! Please, put patient safety first!!

    Recall Essure! !! It's not safe, I'm very concerned for my health. After getting Essure I have had so many health problems that will be life long. I'm concerned about materials used and how they are effecting my immune system and upset more research wasn't done to ensure a safe device for the public. Please, take our experiences in consideration we are the data your lacking. We are the truth.

    I had Essure and have several amalgam fillings that have been bothering me for years. Unfortunately, because of my autoimmune issues, I need to find a biological dentist to remove the amalgams which is far outside what I can pay, and I have insurance. I had to jump through hoops to get my Essure removed and have continued problems from that. These things are a nightmare and the stress of having to convince doctors and other people in our lives is too much for anyone to deal with. Please end this now.

    This has been a nightmare for me and my family. I feel like I'm dying inside. Please take this off the market so that other woman like you mother, daughter, sister or even grandmother didn't have to go through this.

    Soon, the number of legitimate health concerns caused by Essure will outnumber the amount of $$$ made from the faulty, understudied and deadly device! Essure must be pulled from the market before one more woman is harmed!

    I am concerned about materials put into my mouth and seem to get dismissed when I ask what is being used in my mouth. Inserts should be given on all devices BEFORE implanting so people can make wise decisions.

    The essure must be recalled and the many woman who have suffered must be compensated for their losses! This is my E-story I'm an aspiring model... I've even been blessed in my journey as a model to be published in a magazine and let's just say I don't and can't work as much or often and wanted or needed, I've had to cancel on photographers and turn down many opportunities it's ruining what is suppose to be my dream and my life all because of Essure Let me start out by saying I have never been able to wear cheap or fake jewelry especially not earrings my neck and my fingers and my wrists my ankles turned green and itch if I wear fake jewelry if I put earrings in my ear that are not sterling silver or gold my ears swell itch ache not just for the time that I have them in but for days after I remove them too if I hold lose change in my hands my palms itch like crazy... and why does my body react that way to cheap jewelry and change? Because I have a nickel sensitivity or allergy.. Well... The essure is made up of a nickel titanium alloy ... That, I was never informed of and it was not in the paperwork or in the brochure the informational packet or the speech that the doctor gave me and my husband explaining how beneficial this procedure would be for me. I've been to doctor after doctor misdiagnosed with so many stupid things like cardiovascular issues psoriasis eczema cystic acne the list goes on... I've even been told it's all in my head. When I first got the coils in 2012 I broke out full body with red raised hives itchy and drove me insane almost literally my doctors gave me a slew of medications and the rash went away after about a month but the itch has always been there still years later everywhere I have many MANY other side effects or symptoms illnesses whatever you want to call them some not so bad many far worse including LSIL severe cervical dysplasia lesions cervical cancerous cells ovarian cysts severe abdominal pain severe cramping and bleeding chronic daily headaches & migraines my hair is falling out I have sores all over my scalp that are very painful it hurts to wash my hair it hurts to comb my hair or brush my hair I feel like I am constantly in a fog I can't remember anything. I experienced and or continue to experience: vertigo, anemia, insomnia that gets so bad I have night terrors, uncontrollable blood sugar, neurological issues, ptsd, severe depression, severe anxiety, panic attacks, unexplained fevers, chills, allergic reactions, metal poisoning, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat rhythm, vision problems. I have high blood pressure, and low blood pressure so I black out. I have tingling in my arms and my legs, my feet were numb for almost a year. I couldn't feel a few of my fingers for years. no matter how much I drink my body is always dehydrated! my weight is all over the place I gain 20, lose 15, gain 30, lose 20 it's crazy! my skin and my fingernails have changed in a bad way... Constant ingrown toenail's

    I had the Essure implanted on November 2013. I have horrible cramps every day, my hair is falling out and my teeth have become very sensitive. Dr blamed it on my Thyroid, but I know is not that. I've had a thyroid problem for 28 yrs and I never experienced this before. I know is due to the Essure, This is poison to our bodies!

    I wish human lives meant more than money. We have every right to have safe effective medical devices. You have done this country and everyone in it a disservice but putting the bottom line before us.
