Hi I am looking for someone, anyone with IC and has has the Interstim put in about a yr ago it stopped working I started feeling shocks all over my body eventually I ended up with a sore throat which to this day I still have lymph nodes swelling passing out lost 45 pounds in 2 months without trying I’m nauseous 24/7 it doesn’t ever go away now my hands won’t grip things properly which makes it hard to drive and do my job I can feel something by my spine which I think is from the Interstim the site is sensitive but it also moves and makes it hard to sit I’m just wondering if all these symptoms may be from what is going on with the Interstim the drs won’t listen to me I keep telling them to feel the wire or whatever it is but they just keep saying it’s the battery it’s probably dead I know that’s not the issue so the schedule a surgery 3 months from now to replace the battery any advice would be great
