How did I get turned off?

Somehow both of my stimulators (DBS) were turned off on saturday (I think) and I had a miserable 4 days before the doc turned me back on. The thing is I don't know how this happened after 7 years . I didn't leave the house . Very bizzare and scary to see how sick I really am

hey rick the same thing happened to me late last year and i didn't notice it either..the doctor replaced my magnets with the controler so you can check them your self.

Great answers/questions!

I also have DBS, but i typically feel lousy within moments of shut-off.

You'll want your own controller(s) fer sure!
