Thank you for the feedback Eva & Mark.

Fortunately my specialist has been keen to get things sorted a he will be away for a couple of weeks from tomorrow. My Nevro rep made it quite clear she was unhappy about having the programming sessions, but none th less checked my lead placement & unit functionality. As all was good she lowered my output for all 3 levels to see if overstimulation was the issue. I've been told to keep cycling through my programs for 48 hrs each to see if there is any change and she will review at the end of the month. I don't think it helps my original rep who did my trial has since left so my current rep is covering 2 areas along with training someone new :-s

My doctor wants me to persist with the Lyrica for another week and a half to see if the side effects become more manageable and if I see any improvement. He has also insisted no work for at least another 2 weeks so I cn rest and have no added stress. He has always been good at helping me be more realistic!

Johanna, I've sat down and logged everything I can remember so far and am trying to keep it up, thanks for the tip!

I was also wondering how long it takes for the lead inscision to settle down? On the surface mine looks like a scratch on a raised rectangular lump, however it's very hard to find a position where it doesn't get by pressure. I find the longer I'm out if bed it even starts to become quite painful. My specialist has explained that is it swallow as they stich the wires in place to hold them while the sca tissue form, but that help much getting comfortable :-)
