Greetings Bonnie

It's good to hear from you. How is the Lyrica working for you? You can take a

higher dose of necessary.

I am all to aware what it is like to live with chronic pain for 20+ years.

Your doctor will probably not remove the TENS unit because the leads become

imbeded into the spine. It wouldn't be wise to fiddle around with it, unless it

needed to be adjusted. Has that been considered? On some occasions they leads

will move, and this causes the decrease in affectiveness.

If they leads needed to be adjusted, then putting a new battery in your TENS

unit would be an excellent idea. You might find that it is affective again.

Take good care of yourself, and don't be a stranger.
