I have the RNS cut my seizures in half and the ones I have are not as bad. Sean 100% correct on everything else about it.

Sure thing. If you’d ever like to more just ask. By the way if you’re somewhere without the magnet and have a seizure, that won’t matter. They’ll still find the seizure.

I had a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) for 5 or 6 years and never saw any improvements in my seizures. I had another surgery getting it removed. Now I have a Neurostimulator (RNS). I do still have seizures but I think they have decreased. Not only that but if you get the RNS you can send your doctors seizure information everyday. The RNS records my brain activity and each night I get on the machine and put a wand on my head. It downloads brain activity and I hit send. If you’d like to know more about the RNS let me know.
