Treca, I have an ANS St. Jude implanted in both the cervical and lumbar area! I am so pleased with them I cannot fully put into words. They have enabled me to no longer need my anti-depressants and pain meds (ocassionally need a pain med for flares, but not needed on a continual basis).
I will be checking in on your progress and wish you the best of luck!!!
Fingers crossed
