It doesn't matter how much I try paying attention to the conversation. I couldn't tell you everything word for word even if it's just happened. It's like it goes in one ear and out the other. Like following instructions if I've been given 3/4 things to do if I've not written down I would be able to remember 3 & 4 but not 1 & 2

I'm going to have the RNS implant in March. And all I want to know is has anyone else had it done and dose it work . I go in March to Vanderbilt medical center in Nashville Tennessee.

When I try do some tasks some of my family members will say "are you sure you should be doing that? I will be having surgery soon for an RNS and I know it will really happen during my recovery and after. So I am wondering if anyone has delt with this and hoe you deal with it?
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, yeah that is one of my bad habits too.
Anyone have a trick to recovering mentally faster after a seizure? It usually takes me 3-4 days to feel “normal” or myseld again.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member and @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , in my opinion, NORMAL is almost like saying, we’re PERFECT . Nobody is normal. We all have a flaw . Someone maybe healthy and in good shape… read more
