My question about the RNS device and using the RNS magnet. Can the RNS device and the magnet record a TIA or Stroke as the TIA or stroke is happening. I understand that the device is used for seizures

The reason why I am asking is because I used my RNS magnet on May 9th and then I Used my RNS magnet again on June 11th that’s when I used it about 3 times I felt different I know it wasn’t a seizure was having stroke like symptoms or like TIA symptoms a friend that is a retired nurse saw what was going on I couldn’t talk numbness the whole right side from my face all the way down to my foot I couldn’t even move my hand fingers no feeling nothing. I have had TIA’s in the past. I was told that ECG was abnormal along with enlarged heart lots of other things found the Dr’s didn’t tell me everything

I have the RNS device. It’s a device that’s implanted near the brain and you use a special computer to transfer information that the device records it has a magnet that have to use just in case. The magnet helps record information it sends some information to the neurologist
