@soohart I've worked with a number of different WOCNs when I lived in Arizona. It took me about 2 years to find an appliance that worked well for me. I probably worked with five(?) different people.

How long ago was your experience with a WOCN? Did you work with more than one?

What sorts of problems are you having with your current appliance, and have you tried anything new since you started having problems?

@susanf8 this is useful to know. I’ve only worked with one nurse so far as that was the name given by my doctor. I have worked over the phone with a few people tied to the vendors to see whether their products would work. Basically I’ve been trying various appliances for nearly three years, think I have found something only to find after a few weeks that it is not so secure. I’ll just keep trying.
