 Hope it works for you, Hon.

I sure hope the nerve stimulator works wonders for you! I know it's helped a person I used to work with. It was a godsend to her and cut her seizures by about 95%...amazing! Glad the surgery went well for you!  sabby |

Its also used to treat severe depression. I was approved for the implant 2 years ago, but couldn't find a local surgeon willing to implant the device. Hope it works well for you!

yeppers. you can definitely call me a bionic woman. it is similar to a pacemaker. it is hooked up to the vagus nerve in the neck, which runs into area of the brain that needs stimulation to help with treatment-resistant depression.

There is a lot of research going on for this type of thing, and what this nerve can do for and against us (so to speak) and I have much good wishes for your success!!!

((((((((((wickedwings))))))))))))  we hope the result of the surgery is all you wish for that vagus nerve is like the Jesus nut on a helicopter  (hey, no blasphemy intended, we don't know another name for that bit of a helicopter, but there probably is one, lol)

OT Ok ok...my son flies a Chinook... no offense taken. (It's just a main nut that holds the rotor on, you know?) It's name is taken from the last words a pilot will say when and if it comes off...
