Hi there, I had my SCS put in December 17. I've always had headaches but since the stim my headaches are never ending and I have regular fevers. My temp which always used to be 36.8 is now always 37.5 or higher. I have just had another round of blood tests as they try to figure out what is going on.
I have on 3 separate occasions since the stim implant deliberately turned the stim off to see if the headache can abate some and yes, each time I turn it off the headache does reduce. I also remember I had nausea for some time but put that down to my headache and fever. What brand do you have? Mine is a Nevro Stenza HF.
I hope you can settle in with it sometime soon and you get the relief we all pray for.

The only thing they saw was that there was a lot of fluid around the battery. It is still extremely sore at the battery site & my other incision. My neurosurgeon doesn't believe it has anything to do with the implant but I'm not so sure. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem?
Thanks so much!!
