WHOO HOOOOOOOOOO!! Way to go Cora!
Hugsssssssss Gilly We switched the leads from the right lead to the left lead this morning. I can scarcely believe the difference! I've only had enough leaking today to change pads ONCE! We all know that this TM/blasted syndrome-opathy affects us differently from person to person-- but differently on different sides as well. I've got a feeling they put me on the side that they thought was less likely to give results first. I admit that I'd have been severely bummed if I had good results then bad. We'll see how nights go.......... I usually just put on a gob of pads and overnight diaper and try to sleep through. I kept increasing the signal, as I became used to it , on side one, up to about a 5 (halfway) Then I had some fever, dizzyness, didn't feel at all good, and pretty much got over that, then when changing to the left lead, I thought the "tolerance" that had built up might have some effect, but no! I started at about .5 and haven't gone above 1 today, and can still feel it. I'm pretty sure that its just about finding the setting that works; on the side that works. I did ask, and was told they would use the side that did the best. And...I've had "normal" bowel movements since about the 4th day. I mean, I used to have to use digital stimulation to achieve a bowel movement, and considered it to be under control, but these are without stimulation (except from the stimulator, of course)! Wow! This is what I was hoping for. They did say that us TMers have less success if our bladders retain rather than leak. If it works for me, it can work for others. Cora
