I have made a decision

[discouraged Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close discouraged]

I have gotten a lot of feedback on all of your experiences, and it has helped me make a decision. I have decided that I am going to go ahead and go forward with the Interstim trials. I will decide on the perminent one after the trials. After all, they can't do the surgery without my consent right. I have heard of some of the negative experiences with this gadget and they are scary. I guess I am desperate enouph to try anything. Thanks guys for your help. Johnna [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

I wish you all of the best with the trial! I have had my implant since August 2000. It has helped. Just like medications I have tried there were some trade off's (side effects) like a sore back etc. My bladder enlarged its capacity from 50 ml to 120 mls. Not that large I guess but I am glad it gave me some improvement. It has made my life easier.
Best wishes and keep us posted. We can answer any questions you might have about the procedure.
