Hello, I have had my second neurostimulator for two years for my occipital neuritis. My first stimulator worked for two years but developed an infection and had to be removed.The second stimulator has been working well for two years. However, during the past three months, it does not shut off as it should. If I turn it on at all, it stays on for 9-10 hours causing extreme agitation and pain with the nerve. Niether my Dr. nor the tech. from ANS has ever heard of stimulation lasting this long. Does anyone out there have experience with stimulators? I am afraid to use mine because of this new development. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am new to the site and I hope I am looking in the right place. Thank you. MK
