Has anyone have any serious issues with VNS surgery. I already had a previous RNS type of surgery but this time they offered VNS and worried. I actual started working a second full time job to keep a reason to delay. What do you think?
Happy holidays to everyone and your loved ones!
That is something I'm not familiar with. I wish you the best regardless of what you decide.
A full fridge!
Thank you Irene
Has anyone had VNS surgery and how long does it take to slow down your seizures or even stop them. I am planning to get that surgery but afraid if it doesn't help it will still be on the biggest nerve of my body. I workout, jog and have jobs I have to pick up heavy things. Can anyone please help. Spring is coming in the Northeast ☀️ Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your response!
I love that picture
I have two full-time jobs and I am always around a lot of people. I work in the Boston Garden on weekends and planning to star in a movie documentary. I had a small seizure in front of a lot people, I was walking around in different directions and even jump over a table. I never wanted to talk about it but, this website and group got me ask about it. I am little scared to go back in front a lot of people to focus in on a movie, do you think people will look at me weird when I go back?
Thank you for the hug.

Her seizures would be triggered by fatigue or lack of food/glucose.

I’m pretty worried about the prep before the procedure because as you know you have to… read more
Hi Arj, as I separately posted, recently lived through similar. Whilst taking the solution to clear colon, resistance that medications provide to a seizure is significantly reduced. This is because… read more
