I called my VNS docs office today and he wants me come in tomorrow after I told em I'd gone down in 5 sz'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.

Hopefully an adjustment will give you some positive results.
 
As always, keeping you in my thoughts Belinda. I hope this "tune up" will decrease these seizures you've been having recently! :e:

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). :roflmao:

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) :D

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

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

Belinda -- I wish I could "really" go with you .... hold you hand and hold you steady - that sort of stuff. Since I can't because of the distance, please know that my heart will be with you. I hope andpray that you have a good, solid SUCCESSFUL visit.

Julie --- I laughed reading your post and you have no idea how much I needed a laugh tonight. THANKS!!

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!

:tup:
 
Belinda~
I hope your doctor visit turns out good. And the setting of your VNS helps you. Take care.
 
Nancy thanks for the nice reply.
a friend is taking me to the doctor.
I'll give her some money for gas.
I'm just bummed right nowand I need time with my neck still killing me.
thanks everyone for listening to me gripe.

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.

Goodluck Belinda!
I hope this setting works out for you. Keep us updated.:e:
