This board is for the discussion of complications. Patients who post on this board are having problems and they need support for their problems. Please offer them support and encouragement. Please DO NOT defend Interstim as a therapy. Please DO NOT tout it's successes. We already know it's available. We already know that there ARE real successes. This board isn't about that. It's just to be there for people who are having problems.
Similarly, our Neuromodulation Success Board is for people who have great stories to tell about their therapy. For that board, patients should be sharing their success. Patients needing support for complications should not be posting there.
Let's keep these two topics seperate AND remember that we're NOT debating Interstim as a therapy. I admit that it's a viable option for SOME patients. We're are here to encourage each other and to help those who are feeling bad, feel better.
One last thought: Let's just remind each other, yet again, that none of us has the right to JUDGE anyone else in this forum, nor should we ever question their experience. We don't live in their shoes. We haven't carried their burdens. We haven't sat in those doctors offices with them. Thus, we have no role nor responsibility nor right to question anyone elses experience. Please give everyone the space to discuss their failures... without making them feel like they have to justify it. WE can't justify accidents... nor can we justify a device or surgery that doesn't work as it was intended.
