@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, never heard of that. I see then how RNS wouldn’t help. Any solutions to yours? Surgery? And what kind of seizures do you have?

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, really? I’ve heard good things about it. I hope I’m not wasting my time talking about it with my dr.
What is it that may be causing your seizures?

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I was wondering the same thing, I thought the RNS purpose was to stop the seizures from happening.
