The vns does NOT have FDA approval for under the age of 12 for epilepsy and 18 for depression. If your child has a problem, develops any life long disorder listed in the Physician's Manual (the Patient manual only lists about 1/2 of the problems) or God forbid, dies, it will be considered user error. Cyberonic$ will not be responsible in any way and you won't be able to sue them even when they are caught lying. (read the history of HOW vns is approved by the FDA. )
Make ALL promised results be in writing. Tell the Reps to SHOW you proof of their claims. the numbers in the studies.
Remember the saying, "If it sounds too good to be true than it probably is." fits the vns.
While almost 33% have some type of improvement, that leaves over 66% who experience otherwise. Want to know the side effects? Talk to those who have been there. Google is your friend.
Dennis had his vns for several years before it damn near killed him and had his parents not been there, his death certificate would have read SUDEP.
Surgery should be the very LAST thing tried. Once you cut into the body it will be forever changed and scar tissue makes removal of the electrodes impossible.
Have you tried the ketogenic diet?
