I was wondering who else out there has a VNS implant?
I wanted to see if you react to it in the same ways that I do? I've had mine for about 4 years now.
When I think I might be having a seizure and I use it I'll get a tickle in my throught. When I use it and I am having a seizure that tickle won't be there until I come out of it.
Normally when i have a seizure I blank out during it and alot of times I don't use it because the seizure just hits me and I don't know it was coming on. Other people who are with me will use it on me however when I am in the seizure.
Recently I've been having little seizures where I'm not blacking out. I'll just get dizzy, things in the room won't seem right or I'll get confused. That's when I'll know to use it and I assume I'm not feeling the tickle because that is a seizure coming on. I'll notice that after a few minutes I'll feel the tickle and I'm back to normal.
How does anyone else react with theirs?
