I May Have Said This Before!

Soooo - I have learned that passing magnets, or being close to magnets should not cause "Buzz" (sounds like BuuZZ) to literaly buzz more!  I have always been very sensitive to the type of stimulation that a neurostimulator sends out --- and I swear it buzzed more!

I have had intense leg pain for almost a week.  I know it comes from my back - but I don't feel any back pain.  This makes it hard to judge where it is coming from -- but I am fairly certain my leg is not the origination point.  I have stayed with program #1, however I have to set it fairly high in order to get relief.  While this helps my leg pain, it is fairly annoying to other areas!  Perhaps it is time for a change of programs.  I accidently came across an option on program #1 that allows me to make changes.  I am headed towards program #3 today, hoping it has this same option.

Buzz (my name for my St Jude Neurostimulator) has allowed me many happy hours that I would not have had.  I did a 2 day garage sale, enjoyed my family immensely, and went out several times.  I even helped with breakfast on Sunday - set the table!  It was nice to be in the kitchen again - even for a short time.  The black cloud of pain, disappointment, and depression has lifted, and I feel life.

Report to follow!
