You could ask if you are a canidate for RNS (responsive nuerostimulator). It stimulates without needed a magnet to trigger it. It is based off of eeg monitoring from electrodes in your brain. I have one and it has helped a lot!

They want me to have VNS because no medication works for me. One question o would like to ask of anyone can help is if I was on my own and had a seizure want would happen with the VNS. I was told that if there was no one was there to put magnet over they said the VNS would kick in automatically. Can anyone help with this please
