Gosh, things surely have changed since I had my SCS. There was only ONE program, and that was that! If it didn't do the trick on that program, you were sunk. And all I could do with that program was turn it up, down, or off. So like I said, things have certainly improved since then! lol And there was NO WAY I could lay down with that thing on. The only position I can sleep is on my back, and if that thing was ON, I'd zap myself to death. LOL Even if it was on the lowest possible setting, I'd get zinged so badly, my eyes would go back in my head!! LOL

Gosh, Fiona, I hope and pray the incontinence stops. Have they given you hope that it will? I'll keep praying that it does. Are your pain levels reduced at all, or do you still have to take the same amount of meds?

I'll keep praying that things improve and your pain decreases! Take care, and God bless. Hugs, Leesa
