Look at it this way, $245 is CHEAP, compared to the damage that thing can do to your body, your well being and affect the ability to be there for your kids and the time that you'll have lost to that thing because you're sick and incapacitated. Get it removed. Leaving it in because you have to justify the cost is the wrong way to look at it. You began to experience adverse effects almost immediately. You can pretty much conclude that the symptoms are only going to get worse from here now on.
