Title: To Get the VNS or not?
Description: Getting VNS implanted?


SAMIAM - November 23, 2007 02:05 PM (GMT)
:mellow: I'm considering getting a VNS. But I am not sure if it's what I want to do. My current situation is:

Complex Partial Seizures, at least 1-2 each week.
I'm currently on one med.

I've read that it is possible to remove the VNS is need be. But the nerve wires are left inside. Is this still the case? Have the VNS devices improved anymore? Are xray, MRI, or metal detectors still a problem for VNS devices? What are the possible problems associated with having a VNS implanted? Are there any good tips to keep it working properly?

Thx, for all your help.
