My doc was amazed that I have never turned the stim off, even sleeping with it on. I do not get the run over effect with it, so when its off, like the couple of times its discharged, pain is within a couple of hours. So I leave it on constantly, charge once a week.
Very, very pleased I chose to have the trial and eventually the final implant. 6years without medication is an awesome result.
