I'm sorry to hear of your wife's problems......How long has this been going on? You've mentioned she's had her stimulator for several years......
If these symptoms are just lately happening, I would'nt think there's a correlation between the two.... unless maybe it has something to do with it being time to change out her battery?
Is this her original battery implant?

Here's a direct link to our SCS forum, click on:

That is a good question you ask and I'd encourage you to post it there, as there are quite a few here with the SCS, including myself.
In the meantime, I'll ask around and get back to you.

I would certainly make sure your primary care Dr knows what's going on.......well, you say she's been hospitalized often, so I'm sure he does.....

I hope this forum can help you with some suggestions....
