Hi
I have a son who is 28. He has had seizures since he was 6 months old.
We tried many many drugs with not much success. He had several seizures a
day some that lasted up to 45 min. We heard about the vns and decided to try it.
It has not stopped his seizures completely, but it have improved
greatly. He may have one siezure a week, and they don't last 5 min. I hope
you will consider the vns, it might make a difference for you.
Good Luck
Rose Homuth
