dubliner - the cervical stim was not meant to treat my migraines, it was actually implanted for RSD pain in my hands and arms. One of the programs I have will stimulate up the back of my head, but I do not find that it helps my headaches. The thoracic one was implanted for RSD pain in my legs.

Mark56 - unfortunately, I have to keep the thoracic stim pretty low, sometimes it is WAY low because of the pressure/pain it is causing in my back! At times I have to do it with the cervical one, but I really hate turning that one down, especially during the day. I need it up so I can get through work (I do finance work). If it is off or too low, the pain is unbearable. Like when I drive, I am in agony since they are both turned off.

Maybe I could try a lower stimulation on the cervical one when I get home from work and see what results I get from it. I will do that from today until I see my doc & St Jude rep on the 16th.

Also, my family doc who I saw yesterday wanted to increase my Topamax to see if that would help. It has decreased my migraines drastically (prior to this last surgery), so she wanted to start there.

Thanks for the tips and input, as always. I love that I found this place. You guys rock!!!
