Just want to clear something up I wrote yesterday about the SCS. I haven't had problems with it...in fact it has been my life saver. However with that said if I would have gone with the ECT route I might not have the SCS today or the need for medication.

Mike...I will print your article and take it with me to my pain management Dr. who I will be seeing on the 10th of this month. I will also take down the 3 articles you mentioned. I'm sure he has access to all of them and he has a staff who can pull anything he needs. I will also print out a copy for the Doctor I worked with who still performs ECT...I'm sure he will enjoy it.

As far as cost goes I would think it would still be out of pocket and expensive.
Hugs, Jewells
