I got my VNS in 2008. My doctor recently recommended I get the newer VNS version since it does a lot more than the one I have now. Has anyone had the older version and recently go the newer one? How has it worked for you? Better, same or nothing changed?
I just had my vns replaced to the new version in May of 2019 so far nothing has changed they just told the battery life of the new vns is a longer battery life.
Vagus nerve stimulation is a device implanted in your chest by your heart to prevents seizures by sending regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brain by the vagus nerve. By a wire going up from the device is wound around the vagus nerve in the neck. If I feel or start having a seizure someone or myself holds the magnet over the device in my chest for a couple of seconds to send extra burst of shocks to my brain to stop the seizure.
