I had mine removed two weeks ago tomorrow. It was absolutely painless for me, seriously had no idea it happened. I've only experienced positive changes since removal. I keep waiting for these crashes and what not, but so far I have not experienced any. Luckily, my skin is clearing up already. It seems to be purging things that its held onto for the last 4 years. And as I said in my removal post, on my way home from the dr, my sinuses started draining like crazy. I've only had a few headaches since then too. Not daily anymore. Let us know how it goes!
