Anyone Have The Neuropace Implant??
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I recently had my Neuropace implant surgery done. The device was recently "turned on". Is there anyone else out there who has this device?? How is it working for you??

Yes, I agree with you, I am thankful too, I also have lots of seizures, Have the implant too, had seizures since age9. Had surgery for implant in 2013-14, am having less but girl issues also play a role with me, am having less but certain times a month can have more. I am thankful it was put in .

I have an NeuroPace (VNS wasn't for me due to the loci of the seizures) that was implanted last July, 2016. It was turned on in October, 2016. I've had seizures for 37+ years.
Prior to surgery, medications did not do enough to stop the seizures which, at one time, were 40-50 per week in my younger days. My doctor says I am still having seizures but the NeuroPace is "zapping" them. That being said, there have been times that I have thought I had a seizure (had a few moments of fog afterward) but nothing in comparison to what I used to experience. I am grateful for the NeuroPace, my surgeons, and epileptologist for being there.
