My son has the VNS but he is 16, one of the biggest things with the
VNS, is that you go in with the attitude that what you get out of
it is better than you had.

Derrick has done many things he couldn't before. And his quality of life
has improved. He still has many seizures. But the magnet does stop
the seizures and helps with the amount of time he needs to recover.

I would suggest you get ahold of cyberonics, and ask to be put in contact
with some of their ambassadors too.

Also please go to the epilepsy forum here and ask questions.
