I am sorry Kaye about the stim programming issues you have faced. That has to be VERY frustrating!! To lots of folks on here I will sound like the proverbial scratched record which plays one phrase over and over; however, as Coral Toe and I know, programming yourself may, emphasize may, be an alternative. She and I are the onliest folks I know to be allowed to program ourselves, and I have never needed a tweak or a help me out again session. I just haven't.....

So, you could ask about programming......
yourself,
prayin too,
