I have VNS since 2001. My Apple Watch is better for me! I fall it sends signals to fire dept and my husband. I had life alert but when I had a status attack my watch noted my heart rate change and it contacted fire dept and husband! I returned the life alert for me. I had someone helping me then a friend from church. Still have someone 1/2 day! She gives me rides!

I have been using the VNS since 2008 and nothing of the type was mentioned or used. We did adjust and tweak settings as needed for the device. I remember wearing out the first device and moving onto having the Deep Brain Stimulator device implant done then things actually started to become more positive for me as the seizures became absence in some cases I had none

I am getting bubble packs of my medication from the pharmacy. It is labeled by date and morning, evening.. My phone has a Seizure Schedule on it, where I also enter if I took or missed my meds and if there were seizures. Fortunately, I do not unless I am overheated, have not been eating or sleeping well, or am stressed.

I need to put the button on a charger to keep it going. The company calls if the power is getting low.

Babs, I have the Lifeline Button. My Neurologist said it would not help with the seizures. If I fell down (and I did), the Emergency Contacts would be called. I also have a Rollator, a walker with a seat. My severe seizures would mean I had to sit down. The button would not cause a seizure.
