Hi Susan,

I dont have too much info on the VNS - from what I have heard, it works
for some and doesnt for some. There is alot of info on the internet - a
good search to try is : www.google.ca if you go to that and type in
vagas nerve stimulation you will get a bunch of sites to check out.

My son is on the keto diet and we have seen great results with that
altho he isnt totally seizure free his seizures are greatly reduced from
prediet AND he is on less meds than before! To me that is a big plus! I
hate the way the meds make him feel and act.

What is your son's diagnosis? What meds is he on? When did he start
seizuring? What types of seizures does he have? Sorry hope I am not
being too nosey.
