I have had the vns since I was 15 yrs old. And it has help me with some of my seizures but others seizures it hasn't

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , You will find mixed reviews of the VNS & such things on here since things can effect everyone differently but you can reach out to @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member being that he had the VNS for a short time but he felt it wasn’t helping as much & so he eventually got the RNS & though he still has seizures he’s said it helps some & after a seizure he puts a wand to his head to record the activity & send the information to his doctor. He can explain it better. Good luck & welcome to the site. Your friend in Texas, Becky

I've had the VNS since 2008 and doing well with the device. What are your questions?

Between 2005 - part of 2010 the the VNS was working before it died. The VNS didn’t work well for reducing my seizures. That doesn’t mean it won’t help reduce your seizures.
