While I've tried to remain optomisitic and positive about this whole thing in my posts, I've been struggling with a few things that have me wondering how this is all going to, or is supposed to, play out.

I've had very bad nausea for the past 3 days and the phenergren isn't even coming close to helping it. Haven't been able to eat. It's the same kind of nausea I'd get when my neck was really hurting and was usually accompanied by lightheadedness. Fortunately I don't have the lightheadedness this time but now my neck is starting to hurt on top of feeling nauseous. I mentioned the nausea at my post-surgery consult on Monday but then went on to speculate that maybe it was one of the remotes that needed adjusting. The nurse didn't comment and just left the room so the rep. could work on reprogramming me. We opted to reprogram the lumbar remote as I was getting coverage up into my sides and abdomen and was hoping that getting rid of that would help the nausea go away. Unfortunately that hasn't happened and the two new lumbar programs aren't working out so great either.

So, I'm not sure what to do. I called my rep. but got his answering machine as it was around 9 p.m. Unfortunately the rep. I got this last time wasn't the guy I like and usually request, and I got the feeling that putting requests in for specific reps. isn't a typical thing and that you get whomever is there that day (I think they believe they are equally qualified, so probably don't understand my asking for one specific individual). Did any of you have this nauseau? What's strange is that the first 10 days post-surgery I didn't have it...has only come on here in the past few days. Has me concerned that something isn't going right here.

I know that getting 2 implants at once is a bigger deal, and hope that my dr. wasn't overconfident about doing 2 at once. He didn't do two incisions as previously planned (one to put the cervical leads in and the other to put the lumbar leads in), but put all four leads in through the lumbar incision. Makes me wonder how he connected the cervical leads when he had to thread them up through my spinal space.

Should I call the office tomorrow and let them know what's going on or do you think this is just the typical post-surgery stuff and I should just tough it out? I'm usually the type to just tough it out but with the phenergren not even touching the nauseau, that has me concerned.
