ONS battery
For those of you who have ONS you will understand when I say I got my ERI message today
This means my Occiptal Nerve Stimulator Battery is coming to the end of its life! Hopefully at least it will last over Christmas. I have been very blessed with this as it has given me a much better quality of life and it has lasted 4 years!
Looking forward to getting a rechargeable

how do they recharge it? is it an op evry 4 years or done by a wifi recharging machine at the hospital?
Lol David I wish they did it by wifi at the hospital!! The battery implant I have at the moment will be useless shortly and will need to be surgically removed and replaced by a rechargeable battery. To recharge, as I understand it is with using a belt plugged in for a short while every now and then, which should last a lot longer than 4 years.
I am very fortunate that his has lasted as long as 4 years, I have a lot to be thankful for!
thanks i did not know they had to keep opening you up to change the battery, hope all goes well for your replacement.
Thank you David
