Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / October 2004VNS finally doing something for me
Howdy! My vagus nerve stimulator appears to have either dramatically decreased or eleminated my complex partial seizures. I'm still having simple partials but, what the heck, I'm not gonna' kill myself in the kitchen due to a SP! It's probably due to the VNS, my current meds (Keppra & Triliptal) and getting a full night's sleep. (I'm using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea these days.)

Awesome to hear Dave!! I'm really thrilled (and Jealous, lol). Curious to know, how long have you had the VNS and why do you suppose it wasn't working before? Cheers and congrats. Darryl. > > Howdy! > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Dude, good news! Howdy Darryl! I don't know FOR A FACT that it is doing anything for me due to the fact that I live alone and have no confirmation about my CPs, just a definate maybe... Like I said -- it's probably due to the fact that I'm getting a full 9 hours of sleep every day and that I'm on a consistant sleep schedule (albeit a 2nd shift sleep schedule!)

When I saw your post, it was like so many other reports that I've seen by people with OSA who started using CPAP. You can be pretty certain that your improvement has nothing to do with the VNS and is due to using CPAP equipment. A good night's sleep is always helpful & welcome. :-) Bob > > Awesome to hear Dave!! > > I'm really thrilled (and Jealous, lol).
