Ditto from your fellow Okie!! You go girl, No I really mean, You go girl!!!!
This is one of the things I really love about this group. The ability to be completely candid and not feel like I am saying anything inappropriate. In all these years of TM I think I have only spoke the words "digital stimulation" oh, maybe five or six times and that was to medical personnel on a need to know basis. I don't know why I've guarded this secret so closely but I have. My family practice doctor was really surprised I had been doing this and he has been my doctor for at least 30 years. Well, enough of me, I am so happy for you Cora! Good luck and keep us up dated.
Love ya girl,

WHOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!Way to go Cora!HugsssssssssGilly
We switched the leads from the right lead to the left lead this morning.
I can scarcely believe the difference! I've only had enough leaking today
to change pads ONCE!
We all know that this TM/blasted syndrome-opathy affects us differently
from person to person-- but differently on different sides as well. I've
got a feeling they put me on the side that they thought was less likely to
give results first. I admit that I'd have been severely bummed if I had
good results then bad. We'll see how nights go.......... I usually just
put on a gob of pads and overnight diaper and try to sleep through.
I kept increasing the signal, as I became used to it , on side one, up to
about a 5 (halfway) Then I had some fever, dizzyness, didn't feel at all
good, and pretty much got over that, then when changing to the left lead,
I thought the "tolerance" that had built up might have some effect, but
no! I started at about .5 and haven't gone above 1 today, and can still
feel it. I'm pretty sure that its just about finding the setting that
works; on the side that works. I did ask, and was told they would use the
side that did the best.
And...I've had "normal" bowel movements since about the 4th day. I mean,
I used to have to use digital stimulation to achieve a bowel movement, and
considered it to be under control, but these are without stimulation
(except from the stimulator, of course)! Wow! This is what I was hoping
for.
They did say that us TMers have less success if our bladders retain rather
than leak.
If it works for me, it can work for others. Cora
