Hi everyone 🙂 I know I haven’t been updating as often as I promised my health hasn’t been the best lately. I have been having more seizures, ups and downs with medication toxicity, hospital visits and recuperating from a recent VNS surgery. For those of you who don’t know what VNS stands for it stands for Vagus Nerve Stimulator. a Vagus Nerve Stimulator is like a little pacemaker but instead of being for your heart, it’s for your brain. It goes under your skin and has a wire that runs up the vagus nerve. To be clear the vagus nerve goes into the brain not the wire. It sends small bursts of electrical impulses for 30 seconds every five minutes. Every week I have go go back to Massachusetts General Hospital to get the electrical impulses intensified. With the Vagus Nerve Stimulator implant, I’m hopeful it will reduce my seizures and 2020 will be the year I finally get my epilepsy under control.
