My seizures are from my anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumor and nerve damage had surgery 1999,... 33 rounds of radiation and that 15 rounds of chemo been a long journey.. so far radiation has aged my brain 30yrs so I get to experience old age I'm 56 with an 86 Year old brain having to admit I'm disabled and giving up driving was the hardest thing
Oh god my son just got the vns in Dec 2023 I hope I didn’t make a mistake for him after reading this he’s physically 31 but mentally 4 with autism too and I swear that device doesn’t help him either
I had VNS put in place then wore it out due to all of the extreme settings that were needed. My seizures taking place were four to five every day so the neurosurgeon and I moved forward after much discussion. As of June 2011 I had a Deep Brain Stimulator device put in place to manage my epilepsy.
