Thank you for the great websites. I love having you around because you are so good about finding info for people who aren't able to do it. You are just good too.

I am thinking you are right about turning the VNS up. When we first turned it up 3 weeks ago Wed. I didn't see much of a difference but last weekend, all of the problems I had before the VNS just multiplied.

I'll probably work up the nerve after the holidays to let him turn it back up and at it's lowest setting. I do intend to have another surgery though in Jan. so I will wait until that is done.

I have to get my acid reflux calmed down also. I had to up my Prevacid to deal with it. That is one of the side effects of the VNS. It can mess with the intestines.

You are right, it was overkill I think too. It sat off other pain areas and made my pain worse.

Thanks for the all of the good you do for the people on here. I am being honest with you when I say you are definately helping people like me that cannot sit at the computer long to do all of this research. I know it's not easy on you either but I have to commend you for doing it.

You have a great Holiday Season too.
