The 2 round spots on my head feels like hard mounds . I joke a lot, that my Devil Horns were removed.
What does your head feel like now? can you feel bumps on your head that you didn’t have before?
How many times have you gotten your DBS adjusted? Thanks for responding to my questions
I have theDBS . I never noticed any side effects after the procedure. Unlike the VNS , there were a lot after effects from it.
There is no magnet that is use. It’s a little more high tech. There is a cellphone like device ( but not a cell phone,) that has programs to set the stimulators level settings. But before the cellphone can do that , there’s another device that is placed over the stimulator. That’s like the main reader to transfer information to the cell phone device..
Ever since I had the DBS put in , my seizures reduced by a lot. I used to have 30 seizures a month or one seizure a day on average. Today I have reported up to nine seizures or less a month.
Down below shows where the leads ( wires) were inserted. A joke around Saying my devil horns are gone.
Before beforedoing the DBS the doctor might do a few tests.
Neuropsych test
InpatientEEG
MRI
