Re: Medtronic stimulator

Jeremy,
Feel free to contact me at amazinginfluence@yahoo.com. I
have a Medtronic SCS too. I have had several problems that
I am trying to work through with Medtronics. I doubt at
this time that they will be resolved, but I can tell you
what I am doing to work my way up the ladder. I refuse to
sit back and let things happen. There has to be
consequences and there product costs a LOT of $$$$ for it
not to work properly!

I hope you're feeling better! Please feel free to email me
and we can converse in a private setting.

JuLeen.
