Donna, I'll try to answer your questions: there were several reasons they didn't get it adjusted. One was I didn't complain. or we live 300 miles away and couldn't just jump in any time we wanted. Didn't know there was a "better" setting. The optimum setting actually causes a sharp shock in my right leg that disappears after a few seconds. I did fine at the other setting too but with slightly more tremor. They only fine tuned. That was the only adjustment that has been made except when I went to NIH>They tried several settings. I think they did 10 operations. 5 Paladotomy and 5 thallamotomy. Don't hesitate to ask questions. I wish I had had someone to ask when I had mine. > Jane, somehow I must of missed your post. I am surprised it took a year and >a half to get the stimulator correctly tuned. How were you during that period >of time? How often did they adjust the stimulator Do you know how many >operations they had done in Portland at that time? I would really appreciate >it if you would send me your story. I am hungry for all information positive >and negative.
