Please note this E-sister would like to stay anonymous so we’ve just called her “J”.

I live in Northern Ireland.

I have discoid lupus [lupus is an autoimmune condition], which only developed after the Essure procedure.

It’s affecting my scalp.

Essure, I believe, has caused this autoimmune disease. I also have high blood pressure and I’m on medication and beta blockers. My monthly cycle is horrendously heavy and painful and it’s all down to essure I believe.

I’m only at the start of asking for removal, so wish me well.
