For some of us it works well . Others like myself, didn’t have much change on my seizure activity.

My VNS battery lasted me for 5 years. If it would of worked well for me ( which it didn’t ) , I would of gone under, so they could replace it with the old to a new battery.. but my Dr agreed that it didn’t work well.

Sounds like your Dr. Wants to do an actual brain surgery. I have also added had that done too. I had good results with this . I still can’t control my seizures 100%. But they aren’t as sever as they were before my brain surgery. I have mild to moderate seizures , this present day.

Oh wow! Does it work for you? I’ve never heard of that, I was talking to my neurologist about brain surgery to remove scar tissue from my brain, but after my stroke I now have scar tissue on both sides of my brain, and seizures come from both sides
