Lizzie2--How 'Bout an Update?

So Carrie--how's the implant working for you?  Hope things have significantly improved on that front.

I know you have a lot going on right now, but I'd sure like to hear whether the surgery has made a difference for you.

Best,

George

Thanks George,

It definitely has made a difference!  It's hard because it's still early, and I'm working on developing a log that I can keep daily on how it's going, but I have definitely seen some good things.

For example, with the 1st cluster I had after surgery (maybe a week after surgery), it felt like someone had snuck up on me and slammed an anvil into the side of my head all the sudden - came on very quickly.  I didn't have the remote sitting right next to me, but I went upstairs and got it, turned the stimulator up, and the headache went away.  It's worked that way for other CH's I've had as well.  I have to map out whether I'm having fewer attacks overall.

Like I said, I still need to log the results to really determine how it's working, but I do think it's helping.  I think the programs still need a little adjusting in order to make sure all areas of pain are covered, but on the whole, I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for asking!

Hugz,
Carrie Smiley

Wonderful start!  Hope it gets only better, and helps with the meegraines too! Cheesy
