@jesfactsmon Hi Hank, I think my DRG is the Axion by ABBOTT. It has the longest battery life. I am getting scared because I just read here about a man @alh123 Alan, who's DRG just stopped being effective. God in heaven. But I don't know what else to do. Nothing is perfect, for sure. But his lost effectiveness after 7 months. It takes a few months to even heal. I don't know. I just don't know. I have to go through with this, I have to at least try. Just sad and scared today.......Lori

I feel for your situation..these decisions are hard . My axium was great when it was working ..well worth it esp if it had lasted ..it would have been fantastic. So , worth it to try . My whole journey has been marked by this kind of thing . Studies show 70% or so people get good relief ..some drop out like me but a lot don’t and their life is really helped . New programming in the device means lots more options in the type of signal used , so can try lots more options than mine from 2015 . So don’t use my example to put you off ..I would do same again and I paid out of my own pocket ! Good luck I’m sending positive vibes your way,
Alan

C'mon Lori, buck up! You know you have to move ahead on this Because you are doing your very best to do what is right FOR YOU. The results are not in your hands, you just have to take the plunge. Anyone in your shoes would be worried of course. That is why you leave it in God's hands and accept the result that he has in mind for you. Don't fret. You are going to be fine. Linda and I will toast your success next Thursday (just one week!). Hank
