Do any of you have the VNS?

What is your thoughts on this?
Is it helping with sz control?
My VNS was turned off December 2004. Neuro pathway were created causeing this device to send "messages" down my left arm into my hand and fingers everytime it ramped up. This was quite painful and caused my arm to become numb and useless for the duration of the cycle.

I did not see any signifigant seizure reduction however it did shorten the post-ictal period considerably. Complex particals left me post-ictal for 3 days, but this time was reduced to less than a few hours.

There are several members on my site,http://www.vnsmessageboard.com that have excellent seizure control as well as others who experiance nothing but problems.
