I have had the RNS system for about 5 years. Before I got it I had so many EEG’s, including a surgical one, where I didn’t have any big seizures so they were a waste. The RNS not only helps reduce seizures but it also records your brain information everyday. Whenever I have a seizure or aura someone touches my head with a magnet and that marks that spot important. Before I go to bed, every night, I turn on the RNS and place a wand on my head. It will take a minute or two for it to download any seizure information. When it’s finished downloading I hit “Send” and all of the information goes to my doctors. When I go see my neurologist and RNS squad they get out a monitor and can see everywhere I had a seizure or aura and everywhere we used the magnet. Most of the lines are level but when they go to a spot I had a seizure the lines get bouncy ———wwwww——-. They write down whatever information. Since I still have some seizures the doctors have risen the power many times. To do that they just place a wand on my head and make some adjustments on their computer. I never feel anything. I do still have seizures but I think they’ve decreased. I only have 1 or 2 seizures per month but if you have more seizures you’ll probably see a bigger decrease. So I’m happy I go the RNS.
