Lightbulb ideas....

Leesa ~ regarding the nausea, I think several here are due to them titrating off the heavy pain meds they've been on for so long.....
at least this is the case for some.....
Were you able to titrate off of alot of your meds back when you had your SCS?
I'm still kind of in that phase, cuz mine doesn't cover 100%, but it sure does take away a good 75% or so....... time will tell i guess

I too have an appt with my Rep coming up and some of the Q's I'm going to be asking (besides the tweaking) are things like:
Thinking in terms of the future or any potential problems.....

1/ What steps are we supposed to take if something suddenly goes wrong with our SCS and we need attention ASAP....

2/ Do we have to pay for another $100,000 unit when our batteries life comes to an end....

3/ Manufacture Guarantees? Replacing worn out controllers?
Things like this......


And also in thinking in terms of the future, at my upcoming Dr visit, I want to ask him similar Q's and what to do if he has since retired or something....

I'm kind of wanting some reassurance on what to do if we end up in some sort of unforseen crisis....

I didn't get any sort of in-depth brochure on these issues or anything regarding these types of issues? Did you guys?
All I got was a very brief handbook on the basics of operating the unit.
