Default Intermittent or cycling SCS?

After several years experiencing Failed Back Surgery pain, I sought a pain doc who recommended SCS. I've had a Medtronic Restore Ultra with a 5-6-5 paddle at T10 for about two years. The first day it was on, everything was exactly like the trial, with constant stimulation. The day after it was turned on, stimulation started to cycle with my pulse. When the pulse occurs, the stimulation disappears, then returns. This happens, obviously, at my pulse rate. Nothing that the Medtronic reps can do -- in the way of electrode selection or adjustable electrical parameters -- changes the situation.

Additionally, I can be absolutely motionless and have the stim change dramatically.

The Medtronic reps say that they have never heard of this before.

Has anyone else experienced it?
