Are they lasting longer than five years now?

[@sjordan7085]

Depends how one's body works with it, but mine is supposed to last for 15years, and I was told to have the battery checked yearly.

My bladder is already over stimulated and this thing that I am getting is gone over stimulated over again!? It is counter intuitive but trying no matter what.

I think it can be 'sorta' compared to a pacemaker. It shocks the muscles into contracting 'correctly' and not just spastically.

I got the Axionics and it helps some, less than 50% but the recharging is more than problematic, it’s a bitch pure and simple. Supposedly when the ‘cake’ is steady green u can charge? Most of the time it takes 1 1/2 h. Sometimes it goes from steady to blinking back to steady so u wait anyways. place it where u hear the signal that it made contact and u wait for the signal it’s charged. Right? Wrong! It does not always signal! And it does not always signal when u move and loose contract. U don’t know if the cake is 100% charged or if u are 100% charged. My remote turns orange every other day! I have it on highest setting too!

I don't want any part that.. I've already had 2 operations together for my colon and bladder. I'm not Gary Sims. I'm Brenda Self
