The discussion seems to include me let me say I would never try to discourage anyone the feeling of freedom that I had these past three years. It was like a dream. As most of you know I had experimental DBS surgery three years ago that my insurance company refused to pay for. My insurance company was the ONLY insurance company to deny payment. I believe the other patients were covered by medicare. Several years ago a social security judge declared that I wasn't fully disabled when I quit working and I was denied my Social Security rights so I don't have medicare. Now I have a dead battery on my right side. They want to take my left battery and place it on the other side so I would get possibly get a couple of more years out of it and would disable my left side which since the surgery has almost stabilized even when turned off. I have put off calling them to see where I stand with my insurance company but Monday I must face reality. I will call. This has turned into a nightmare for me, It is like giving a child an ice cream cone then just when they find out how good it is, take it away. I want my stimulator back! jjjane http://www.geocities.com/soho/village/6263/pienet/people/hithross.html
