I don't have experience with VPS, but if you had uncontrolled seizures for about a year I don't see how you wouldn't be a candidate for VPS. Best wishes and hope all goes well.

Do you mean the VNS Therapy ? The VNS is different for everyone . I did the VNS and it didn’t reduce my seizures. I was still having my average amounts. I’m also in a similar boat as you. My Meds don’t control my Seizures 100% . I’ve been on many different medication combinations.

I had a VNS put in 3/16, I think that is the correct month. It has been a life changer for the good, won’t get into those. In general your insurance and their policy might be the first hurdle. Seeing a specialist I’ll assume you’ve read the VNS material and know the side effects that are possible. Once in, figuring out the “shock” timing and strength requires patience. I thought it would be a quicker fix for some reason. I hope you get it but don’t get in my frame of mind for quick fix.

All the best with finding out more information etc.

Keep us posted on what decision is made.

Are you asking or are you seeing another doctor? I asked and the doctor referred me over. The neurosurgeon appointment was just a formality to make sure I understood the VNS and that I knew the risk and that my questions were answered. I am now waiting for my surgery date. It is slowly coming.
