I had an ANS stimulator and now have a Boston Scientific
stimulator. One day out of the blue the ANS stimulator
started to go haywire on me sending electric jolts through
me and I was unable to turn it off, it was horrible. It
took some time to figure out the problem, but the little I
know is that the leads corroded, after only 2 years of
being implanted. The doctor requested that I go with a
Boston Scientific implant, during the replacement surgery.
I was never told what actually malfunctuened and ANS was
not present during the surgery. What I will say is it was
the worst 1.5 months waiting for the replacement, using a
walker again, being in horrible pain, and being fearful of
being electricuted from the inside, so scarry. I don't
know how ANS just walks away from things like this.
