Brain I go see my VNS doc tomorrow.


I called my VNS docs office today and he wants me come in tomorrow after I told em I'd gone down in 5 seizure's this month.
They wanted know why I hadn't called earlier;and I was only talking to the receptionist. I've been going to this guy for quite awhile.
I thought it was time i got my VNS turned up I'm on on 2.0.And I'd going to talk to him about the other settings also.
My head cant take much more.
Belinda

As always, keeping you in my thoughts Belinda. I hope this "tune up" will decrease these seizures you've been having recently!

My neurologist checks my VNS every visit. When she swipes that scanner over my chest, I always feel like I'm being "scanned" for a price check (like an extra large bag of dog food at Wal-Mart).

Hee hee. Ain't life grand? One time, my VNS magnet clung me to a BMW outside the grocery store. Another time, my magnet stuck me to a filing cabnit at work. And then there's the time I "magically" pulled someone elses grocery cart towards me while at the checkout (they watched wide-eyed as their cart slowly rolled toward me)

Take care and make sure you get plenty of rest. Remember, we are survivors! -Julie

Edited to add: PM me if you need to, ok? Hugs.

Hope it all works out and everything gets tuned up
properly! It all sounds like you've been making quite
a progress on your end!

I hope your doctor visit turns out good. And the setting of your VNS helps you. Take care.

Talking I saw my VNS doc today


He set it so it goes off every 1 minute to go off.
he's hoping this will decrease my seizures and I will go back in 2 months to see him again.
