Hi Brandy:
Welcome to the IC board!!!!
I have had the InterStim Implant for over two and half years, I am the moderator on the Nerve Stimulations boards on this board..
That is another name for the InterStim ok!!

I am doing just wonderful with the InterStim!!
You could go to the web site on the InterStim at www.interstim.com
You can read all about it ok..

Just find out if you doctor has had lots of experience in doing this procedure and ask to talk to one of his patient that had the InterStim done ok..
Gets lots of information about the InterStim ok..
I did all kinds of treatments and had taken lots of medications and this was my last resort to do the InterStim...
It does not help with pain , but is does help your frequency and urgency...
You could private email by looking at the top of where it is say posted on the date, you will see a little picture of a letter click there and you can private e-mail me ok..
If you have anymore questions please posted on the Nerve Stimulation: Undergoing Trials or Surgery ok, or go read some of the posting on it ok..
Good luck on what you decide to do ok!!
