I saw your post and it caught my eye, as I am dealing with some VERY similar issues to what you describe!

I see you've been a member since 2009, so you probably already know this, but just in case, I wanted to make sure you knew there is a forum here for SS Disability.....here's the link..
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/fo...aysprune=&f=28

There are some very knowledged folks there who can really help you in this area.....
Also, there's a forum here specific to SCS's.....in the main menu, it's listed as a subforum in the "Medications & Treatments" section....

Feel free to come on over there and you will probably get some good feedback regarding the SCS....

Caring!
