Apologies if this topic has been covered recently. Has anyone felt the feeling of electricity when increasing the amperage of your deep brain stimulator. If you wait a week or more does that sensation of electricity subside or not? amp = 4.40 thanks.

during my very first DBS programing session, I felt the feeling of electricity in my head and a sharp pull in my right eye every 25-30 seconds for about half an hour after turning on the stimulator. I dont remember the amp, but it was pretty low. Both sensations went away after a day.
