The Docs used a "paddle" device which did not work. Before that they used a similar Medtronic device and the electrical "leads" fell off.  They removed it. But it DID work. For three months I had NO migraines (I've had daily migraines for 9 years since I hit 50.  I thought they would end then, but they got worse).  I was devastated. A year after the first device fell out, they implanted a "paddle" device, which was supposed to stay on longer.  It has, but it never worked from the very beginning.  We have fooled around with the setting to no avail.  I want to take it out but I have lost my medical insurance and these docs refuse to take it out because of this.  What can I do?  Am I in any kind of danger if the wires break (they did the last time),or fall off.

Thank you,
