Neurostimulator update
« on: November 04, 2010, 10:53:07 am »
I just got approval from my insurance company to have the trial and full  implant done.  It may be several weeks before I have the trial just because of scheduling issues.  I'll post on the results.

Good for you, Poz!  Keep us posted.  My new pain doc gave me a list of options for my headaches and this was among them.

Can't wait to see how your headaches respond to the implant.  Congrats!

Good for you.  My neurologist said I should do it too, but I still want to wait.
