Vagus Nerve Stimulator Surgery
Has anyone ever has this surgery? I just had it June 3rd of this year. I did a search, but came up with nothing in Epilepsy forums.
If you had the VNS & can't find it here, well someone's gotta do it. ;0
Have you even had it started yet? Heard (read) it may just sit for awhile before turning it on.
I was advised numorous times it could go either way. Good or bad.
Keep us informed how it & you are coming along!
