Unable to find correct setting for my problem
I am 81 years old (female) & I have worn the InterStim Bladder neurostimulator for many years. I have had numerous setting/stimulation changes, done both by medical personnel and by me at home. Most of them last for 'a while' and then lose functionality over time. I increase the stimulation and go through the same thing over again. My doctor just readjusts the stimulation & setting and sends me home. His practice is extremely busy and I feel he doesn't give me enough time because he is so very busy & his assistants just follow his instructions - which is adjustment only. My current device has 4 settings & I have tried them all. Today I am unable to control my leakage and at 81 am having difficulty using the device to obtain a setting that is more helpful than what I have found so far. If there are others who have experience with this problem, I would be happy to talk with them. Thank you for listening Barbara Titley Punta Gorda, FL
