We started programming again a couple of weeks after my third surgery. It started out like the last time by gradually bumping up the settings on the first contact. Each time it was turned up, nothing happened. Again and again, nothing happened.
Hmm, maybe that contact wasn’t in the sweet spot. We moved on the second contact and once again turn up the juice all the way up. It’s a good thing there are four contacts because some of them would be in the right spot. This time I experienced a metallic taste.
They sent me home to see if I gained any benefit. I gradually slowed down and felt extremely heavy. By that evening a pressure started building in my head. It was like a horrible sinus infection. The pressure kept building until I couldn’t think straight. I was nauseous and any movement made it worse.
I finally turned it off.
