People With A VNS Noticed Any Seizures While Using A Microwave?
2 days running I had seizures after standing by a microwave oven while it was on.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, thanks for your support 🙏 ,I have noticed since I stopped standing in front of mine my seizures have calmed down alot, It shows that we are all different. 🌻
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, Thanks for your advice and support 🙏, since I have started standing further away from the microwave while using, my seizures have calmed down.
I’ve had VNS implant for at least 15 yrs and microwave never messed with mine.
Hi, MellissaWest2, Thanks for your support 🙏 I am very grateful for your advice 🌷
I received my VNS 11 years ago and must say, before the surgery, that was my number one concern.. I was worried that I couldn't go near a microwave when in use. The neurosurgeon reassured me that microwaves emit a different type of radiation, one which isn't a significant health risk. It's still a good idea never to stand directly in front one when in use. I always leave about 6 feet clearance when using one.
