She posted the following about her experience since her VNS was put in yesterday:

VNS Put In Yesterday
Is it normal to have your uvula ( the thing that hangs in the back of your throat) to hang down and to touch the back of my tongue? It was not like this yesterday. I don't know if it is just swollen or what.

Seizures And Imagination
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
