Anyone with Questions about the VNS
Fri, 01/14/2005 - 19:22In a few days I will be attending a patient education program for people with seizure disorders and their families. Feature topic: Treatment-Resistant Epilepsy.
To Find out:
* What treatment-resistant epilepsy is,
* What treatment options are available,
* About VNS Therapy – Hear from a healthcare provider and a VNS Therapy patient about their experience.
If anyone has some old or new questions to ask, please let me know ASAP and I'll try to ask them during this program, then relay the answers back here, if and/or when I get them.
