If you (or your loved one) have had a vagus nerve stimulator implanted, what happened after it?
(Note: You must log in or register to participate in this poll.)
People with epilepsy commonly report having problems with their memory. Some describe having trouble remembering names that they once knew. Others forget appointments or are unable to remember to take their medications. Many others feel that they can recall things from the distant past, but cannot recollect events that happened in the past week. In fact, memory difficulties can have such a tremendous impact on people living with epilepsy that it may significantly hinder their functioning at work, in school, and at home.
In this section we will explore in-depth the relationship between epilepsy, thinking, and memory as well as diagnostic and treatment issues.
