Title: They Okayed the stimulator
Post by Unsolved on Jan 2nd, 2004, 8:09pm
The process has started. I'm in Chelsea hospital now. Dr. Saper, Dr. Rozen, and Dr. Rogers has all agreed that the next step is to try the stimulator. I think it's the one from Medtronics (http://www.medtronicpain.com).

Wish me luck and i'll post more later

Got my toes crossed fer ya.

Is this similar/identical to the one the Italians have had success with?

If not...how is it different?

I wish we could access more first hand reports from Clusterguinea pigs that are involved in these radical procedures.

Please keep us updated with the specifics.

I haven't found out anything new yet. The stimulator I'll be getting is even newer than the one from AdvancedBionics. It is experimental and will be given to me free of charge. I won't know when it will be put in til at least Monday.

Thanks for all your support and I will post as much info about it as I can.

Not4Hire ~ send me some shrooms and I'll eat them. Otherwise ... I'm getting hit too hard and too frequent to try and grow my own. Back in the day, I could probably make a call and get some...Not now. (I've been trying). Too bad we can't just get the doc to write us out a script of shrooms, huh ?!  ;;D

Unsolved

Hoping all went well and that we hear news soon.

Sorry being ignorant here, is this the ONSI procedure?
Have you talked to anyone who has had it as I know someone who has who doesn't post here, but I'm sure would be happy to talk to you privately.
