I have the Vagus Nerve Stimulator and within the next year I, too, will be needing a battery change again. This will be my 2nd battery. I don't feel weird at all telling people about it. For me, having a TC seizure (or a CP, for that matter) is much more embarrassing than telling people about my my VNS and needing a new battery. Some friends jokingly call me the bionic woman.
I feel so weird telling people that. It's so embarrassing. I feel like a robot because I have the Neurostimulator implant and it's time for a battery change. Is that weird telling people that?
