Re: [epilepsy] Re: VNS - vagus nerve stimulation

I had a VNS put in a couple of months ago. It seems to be doing pretty
good. I am still working on getting it adjusted. I have the left temporal
lobe seizures; I had the LTL surgery done years ago and that helped a lot,
but not completely. My neurologist suggested the VNS. It only took a couple
of hours to have it put in, I went home the same day. It can be removed if
you don't get results out of it. Hope it works for you, if you decide to
have it done. TC.
