As your doc said. If you must, then you must. I did while withdrawing. Gut wrenching. Didn't seem to affect anything, and I "assumed the position" over the toilet so as not to tweak my posture too much while throwing..... I do recognize you have cervical and well as lumbar implant, but if you can take a position which allows you to brace for minimal movement then.... there you go.
Compazine. Those nasty little suppositories. Yep, they do work wonders. Getting me off the nausea from the withdrawal. Still use them, by the way.
ANY STIM GUY deletes a program without my permission, they had better be beyond my reach! So glad you got back to your regular and right person for restoration of the setting you prefer for sleep.
Take care my friend,
Prayin'
