I have a medtronic neurostimulator. I had it implanted in April 08. It has cut my headaches down about 50%, thought I might get 60-75% but I'll take anything. It's nice to be able to do somethings again. I usually just have the thing always on and when I do get a headache I turn it up, if that doesn't work then I go for the meds.
I just had my battery pack moved from my back to my stomach as it was giving me problems but for the most part i'm glad that I went through with the surgery.

Well done report.
Adds a lot to our base of knowledge.

A few brave souls must go first. Thanks Michael.
