Hi, My son is Derrick and he is 15 and has had the VNS for 2 years and
3 months now. Honestly the VNS has helped the seizures in some ways and not in others. It has shortened the postictal time, made the quality of his life a lot better. And he can know have times that he does go without having any seizrues. But there are times that he has many too. But I would say in a heartbeat that he would definately do it again. He is one that can and does use his own magnet. He teaches others how to use his magnet, and he is very happy to tell all about when and why he needs it. HE is very pleased they came up with this as a helper for medicines. He is still on 3 medicines, but not the same 3 he was on when he started this, and not the same dosages. Donna |
