I have had Epilepsy most of my life. I was in a Car accident when I was 5 years old and I suffered a Head Injury. I always believed that was the cause of my Seizures but last year I got a Second opinion from another Doctor and she said that I was born with them. I noticed that when I was growing up I would stare off a lot but I didn't think anything was wrong with me and neither did my parents. It wasn't till 17 that I had my 1st Gran Mal Seizure and after that it became a weekly thing. I was on so much Medication and it wasn't helping me I was still having Seizures. I was so afraid of what was going to happen to me so my Doctor suggested the Vegal Nerve Stimulator. It took awhile for me to get it to get approved and all that but I finally had the Surgery in March 2005. I still have problems with my Seizures but I am doing so much better than I was before I am so thankful for the Implant it really changed my life.
