I'm sorry you both have had such bad luck with the VNS, I hope you start
to feel better soon.

Nikko,

My Derrick has the VNS for epilepsy.

And his magnet is one of the strongest that was ever made, it isn't used
anymore. But its the only one that will activate his. I've had trouble locating
more.

And luckily it works for him.
