It has been a couple of months since my implant. The beginning was awesome...I felt as though the pain was gone and my trauma around urinating was no more. Shortly thereafter I got a blood infection..which I now know had nothing to do with the implant. Turns out I have some sort of inflammatory bowel thing. Some of my symptoms have returned and I am having difficulty again..urinating...with pain. I also have a uti that does not seem to want to go away. I don't regret anything. This is a bad disease and I am doing the best I know. I will continue to try and cope, and hopefully the bad stuff will go away. I just think people need to be careful about what they read, just because someone has a bad experience with the stim doe snot mean you will....don't let it scare you away. This is by far the best treatment for me....even though there may be some bugs... I would never self cath...and I would never ever have an instillation of any kind ever again. Interstim is not a monster, just a way to try and treat a bad disease ( even though it is not approved yet for IC)
