Thanks for your reply. I have had this pump output increased more times than I can recall. It got so high that I was beginning to get dizzy along with a host of symptoms that I can't remember. I'm in the process of reducing the out put so I can have it removed. Yes, this doc added some kind of anesthetic, but it only made things worse. You name it, I've done it. I am hoping to get a trial of Boston Scientific's waverider SCS soon. In my current state, I can't do much...no walking much, no cycling. no working in my shop, no long didtance car rides.

I hear you, over the past several years I have had a lot of adjustments. don't drive anymore, my lack of mobility is a constant battle. Thank Gxx I have great friends that give me rides, visit, etc.
For the most part I am house bound; I was the epitome of independence previously. This process just keeps advancing, I'm learning to accept it, but I don't like it. Another thing that helps is a 12-step program that I have been a part of for over 40 years, some components consist of mediation that I practice, fellowship and prayer. Although it is not religious it provides me with me with spiritual guidance that puts my life in the framework of one day at a time. So, I live 24 hours at a time. I don't know if all this rambling has helped in any way, but I hope you find some relief. Good Luck.

I have the Boston scientific stimulator. Had it adjusted several times with minimal relief. Basically they have told me there's nothing else they can offer. Reactions to over 40 meds so not much else they can do.
