Has Anyone Used The Whole Amount Of Charge In Their Vns Instead Of Having The Battery Changed For Safety Purposes?

Mine just died yesterday and I was having weak auras and one strong aura.

They already scheduled for me to have it replaced.

When I had VNS completely turned off I didn’t notice any differences

I understand. I’ve had it replaced once and it wasn’t helping as much until they took me off one of my meds.

I've had 2 replacements so far and the VNS was changed when my battery level was about 35% and I experienced more seizures.
