Who Is Eligible For VNS?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

What kind of seizures does VNS help reduce? What "requirements" must you meet to have it? I see my neurologist next week and I'm going to ask him about it. I thought I would get your opinions first.

Is Anyone Else Having The Same Problem Of Not Being Able To See All Of The New Messages?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am still told how many new messages there are each day, but I only have access in the list of a portion of those new messages. For example, right now it indicates that I have 11 more notifications, but there are not any in the new messages box for me to click on. This started a few weeks ago. And I have already contacted the managers of the site (and I was not the first to tell them) and their techs are working on the problem.

Does Anyone Have Nocturnal Seizures In Their REM Sleep?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

98% of my seizures happen during my REM sleep usually after 3am or later in the morning. I'm pretty much on a two week cycle. I have been on numerous AEDs and nothing seems to break the cycle. Was wondering if anyone has these types of seizures and have they found a treatment that has help reduce these type of seizure activity?

Are You Willing To Do Whatever Is Necessary To Help New Members Feel Comfortable And Quickly Have A Team Of Many?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I ask this because the site owners and techs are not able to provide an additional search option to search for New Members. And there have been too many New Members over the years who have come once or a few times and gotten frustrated and left because they do not get the true benefit of being embraced by a large enough team to not only make them feel welcome but also be able to provide answers and often personal experience regarding any related to seizures (types, symptoms, auras, side… read more
