Hi!
My name is Vicki! I am new to this site and going through the process of having a VNS implanted.
Short Version of my history:
I have had 2 brain tumor/craniotomies in 1994 and 2005.
Last surgery left me seizure condition with partial paralysis of left leg. I walk with cane. I am lucky. I have seizures 2 times a month. When they hit they hit hard. The have made my R. leg weaker in the process and that is also the problem. We have tried all the meds out there. I am currently on Lyrica, Lamictol and Tegretol. My husband is not home...he knows the dosages.
Like many of you I have had to quit my job. I pretty much am at home unless my husband is off....Any words of wisdom regarding the VNS would be greatly appreciated!
