As you now venture into a return of the help that such a device has a good chance to do its job
And sure there are a those who have been there and it's outcome not work
As for others opinion of your posting
I for one having two failed multiple levels cervical area ACDF AND REPAIR PCDF both made it just so much worse
So
Like I said I write of my experience strength and hope
Why wouldn't I want to hear it from your words to my brain
It is what you have to offer us here who have had it done and it work
Who have had it done and it be a disaster
And who have had it done and wanted it removed as it did not work as well as it did during the trial period
And for the latter I have a personal opinion I won't share now but then there are those who wouldn't go there and that be me
How else is one going to get the feedback needed for people like myself that will wait and see

I have a child who is a epileptic
Had a occipital lobotomy
Permenant eye loss did not get to the very intricate surgery they found where it was coming from just to close to the surrounding lobes
Back to square one only now blind in right eye
Then has what is called a VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator)
It been a good number of years around six or seven
Not cutting it
She needs to wave a magnet over the VNS implant in the upper right chest where the nerve is that reaches the brain
So when a seizure starts the the wave and it is suppose to reboot the brain
It stops the seaziure from taking the entire brain
This isn't cutting it anymore
Now she is having yet another surgery
Removal of the VNS and have what is for short (S&N or S&F) not sure at the moment
Point
She hasn't given up hope that her seizures will not be in her life
And it's trial and error for many
And all the medications
She posted everything about her experience strength and hope
Your life wit us here is just as important as my daughters and all who have the desire to do so
Do keep it coming
You provide personal knowledge
Priceless
And as for you furry family
