Tayla said basically what the shrink told me. There are some people (you wouldn't necessarily know if you are one of them) who would "freak" at having an electronic device inside them at all times. How the psych would be able to tell is beyond me, but that's what they claim.

Another thing they are screening for is someone with an unrealistic idea of a SCS as a magic cure. The SCS will probably reduce, but not eliminate, the pain and is only going to work on the area targeted. They want to make sure you won't spiral into a depression when you discover this, having thought you were going to feel perfect.

As DiMarie and kejbrew said, it is a standard test -- no big deal. Relax and be yourself.

Good luck.
