What would one do if they recieved an ons and didn't know it till a few years latter.
Back in 2006 i recieved an ONS unknowingly, it was only mentioned to me by and MRI tech in 2008 and again recently shown to me between pictures during a head x-ray. How would i go about getting the doctor to recognize me and help me. I am suffering quite a bit of abuse through it and cannot get the doctor to help me or even call me in to explain things. It has helped me a great deal since being turned on in 08, i am acctually able to function again. But there are so many other draw backs due to other circumstances that it kind of negates it.
Hi toboe25,
Were you in a clinical trial? How did you "unknowingly" get the ONS? Do you mean the doctor who implanted it isn't calling you back? That is totally unacceptable. If you were in a trial, weren't there follow up proceedures to do?
I would go right to the doctors office since they haven't been returning your calls. Or you could call and speak with the office manager, telling him/her what is going on. If none of those options work, you may have to try another doctor.
Let us know what happens ok?
Nancy
