Gosh what a nightmare for you. I have had mine for 15 months and can't stand the side effects I am experiencing and called my insurance company to see if they would pay for the removal and they said no. I am calling my doctor tomarrow and going to find out $$$ it costs for removal. It really sucks that it makes me feel so horrible and than I am stuck footing the bill for removal I know it won't be cheap. Hope that you are feeling better.
