Do any of you have the VNS?
What is your thoughts on this? Is it helping with sz control? |

from our experience...it's usually people who dont educate themselves BEFORE being implanted, who have the most problems. the ones who chose to try one drug before opting for the surgery.

Can I ask what that is? Do you have the VNS or a loved one? Is this an adult or a child? Is it helping sz control? How many meds did this person try before getting implant? |

My VNS isn't perfect but it has helped some. It has made my sz's less severe & happening less often.

Howdy Linnie!
Gee... I was just gonna' say that too! BTW: The site title is: The VNS From A Patient's Point Of View It can be directly accessed from a button on my site. At this time I have better control than I ever had before. In all honesty I must say that I'm not sure whether it's due to the VNS, diagnosis & treatment for sleep apnea or a combination of the two.
