Thanks for the advice. My surgeon finally called me and has arranged for me to see another neurologist/programmer. I am going to ask the new doctor about the possibility of replacing the generator. When ever I've been programmed in the past it fails within a week or two. They have also increased my meds over 100%. I have gained 40 lbs in the past month and the fluid buld up in my legs is horrendous. Something is just not right here.
