    My question is, did you charge at night while sleeping, or
    during your favorite tv show? Since you have the implant
    already this info might not be helpful. Boston scientific has
    a hidden portion only for physicians.however, I am getting the
    implant at the cleveland clinic in october 2011.the
    information on this site is priceless. Here is the web
    page:www.controlyourpain.com/dfu This page has pdf files
    that gives uou info not found by non medical personel. Hope it
    helps.
