VNS
Mon, 10/28/2013 - 17:53hi,
I am not new to epilepsy just this baird.
I walked off about 4 years ago for personal reasons.
I got my VNS because I was rea;;y s;iding down hill and almost died.
I was just wondering if anyone else has a vns and what your setting was on it nad if you are in Hawaii.
My VNS iwas set to 5 minutes OFF aand 20 seconds ON. now it has been adjustrd to 1.8 minutes OFF and 21 seconds ON.
I started responding to the VNS at 3 months. I can use that magnet and am able to stop the oncoming sz and the aura. although sometimes I will miss.
I got it on sept 20 of 07 replaced on august 25 of 10,

Hi Nancy, Just saw your post and glad to hear the VNS is working. Stop on by and visit. I think you'll find many people with VNS to share experiences.
