Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say hello. I am new here and am about to have the VNS implanted in a couple of weeks. Hope everyone is doing fine.

Hi back to you,
Welcome to the best forum this side of Never Neverland.

I do not know much about VNS, but I hope that it will bring you a sense of well being.
Are you excited, nervous, ______ (your adj)?

My daughter (age 15 ) has been having seizures for a year.

Hi ialdridge : Welcome to the board ,nice meeting you.
Wishing you the best of luck with your vns inplant. I had it inplanted in NYC and it was inplanted on and worked immedialty for me,to everyones surprise. My Dr in NYC was so
happy with me , he decided to wean me off my meds totally and I ended up breaking my leads . I never got it fixed thou it worked great for a year.

Instead I left NYC and moved to Portland Or and went on homeopathy and than added the Gard diet to get rid of my last of my anti-epileptic drugs. I am going on 2 years on homeopathy
and its almost 3 months I am on the Gard diet. Very happy with both, looking forward to getting to know you.

Howdy neighbor! Welcome to the forum.

I hope you did your due diligence on the VNS before making the decision to go for it. There are a lot of options which you can explore before going under the knife as a last resort (the VNS can have permanent consequences whether it works or makes things worse).

Welcome to CWE! Glad you found Birdy's
other Birdhouse! (*snickers*)

And like she says, this place is loaded,
or should I say "Operation Overload?"
