I turned off my SCS for the month of March and felt no increase in pain. When I turned it back on a month later, there was no observable change. I turned it off another time for an MRI, and realized weeks later that I'd forgotten to turn it back on. Obviously, it's doing nothing at all for me. I leave it on, even though I know it's not treating my pain.

My wife was considering a drg unit before Lori did hers. After hearing everyone's experiences she has decided to do nothing at this point. She is managing her pain (PN in feet & ankles) through lifestyle mostly. Also carefully selected supplements (I estimate we spend about $300/mo. on supps) as well as kratom and Mary Jane. She is currently trying PALMITOYLETHANOLAMIDE (PEA) as well as Theracurmin (suggested by @jeba ) and she applies Penetrex nightly before bedtime. That's the thumbnail on her approach. Best, Hank
