I am in so much pain in my lower stomach

[Katherine]

I went from going every ten minutes to six to eight times a day. I am in so much pain and the urologist keeps reprograming it but it is not working. I know it is a flare and it is a bad one the only difference is this time it just pain and not frequence and wetting.
what do I do?

Try to get a second opinion. It may be the pulse, the frequency or where it sends. My first VNS doctor prgramsed the VNS in a way that I had terrible side affects that could have been avoided if my current doctor had been the one doing the programming. I hope things improve.

For the 18 months that mine worked I was still way up there on the pain level but it was much easier to cope with "just" one thing~

Sending many many gentle hugs Katherine
