Red face What does the SCS feel like

I've looked at all of the information they gave me in the packet but nowhere does it address the question of what kind of sensation does the SCS send through the spinal cord and body...

Is it a electric pulse sensation like a TENS Unit?
Is it a constant electric sensation?
Is it a vibrating sensation?

I ask because I can feel the smallest of electrical sensations. Electric blankets and heating pads drive me crazy---OUCH!!!

I can even feel the electricity just before the motor to the furnace or air conditioner kicks on.... OUCH!!!

If I go into a building where a machine is vibrating.... I can not stand it!!! It sends the vibrations right through my shoes and into my body---OUCH!!


I'm sorry for asking so many questions...
Thanks,
Abbie
