Hello @dontlikerns and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sure it is frustrating to read only positive reviews on a device and find yourself experiencing it differently.

I noticed that you posted two similar posts on this topic so you will notice that I have removed the other version to allow members like @lsittll to connect with you here.

Are your doctors favorable to removing the device at your request? Have you ever considered seeking a second opinion at a teaching hospital where a team of doctors would focus on you?
