Hi there, the neuropace device, are they talking about the Responsive NeuroStimulator (RNS)? If so let me know, I've had it for 4 years, and I can give you some pretty good info on it.
How is the Vimpat working for you? I have a friend that has severe epilepsy just like me, and for the past 20 years this is the first med that has ever made her seizure free for over a year now. So I'm going to ask my epi about starting it, and hope and pray it will help me like it has her.

I'm also looking into having more brain surgery done. I had a veeg done this past April and now they have found 3 different areas that are triggering sz. for me so the only type of surgery that might work in reducing or stopping my sz. is a neuropace device that will stop the sz. in 2 areas of my brain. I have to see my neurosurgeon and get things going and hopefully I will be able to have surgery soon. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
