Hey Sue,
I survived the trial run of the stimulator and all I can say is it was fantastic !!! Instead of pain there was just a tingling like when your hand goes to sleep of course with the remote you could take that sensation from that nice soft tigling al the way up to a train wreck that felt lke it was going to rattle the teeth out of your head. The weird part was while you would feel a very strong vibration at the higher ranges, there was no outward sign, you didn't shake, or your voice didn't break, it just felt like it should. After a few days of getting used to it and playing with the different settings on the remote I found that you could turn it down farther than you might think and still get relief. I am now waiting for the insurance approval for the permanent implant. They took the trial out on Tuesday and Wednesday was a major let down. It was like crashing after a major adrenaline rush. I hurt in places that I didn't know I had. But as the week has progressed that is leveling off to my "normal" level.
Thanks
Keep Kickin'AS
Chris
