My partner (45yo) has epilepsy which is not well controlled with medication. He has been offered VNS by King’s College Hospital (London). We are looking for personal experiences with the operation/procedure. Has anybody on here had it done or know more about it? Where can I find people who has tried it?

If you've tried all the meds and ruled out surgery, then it's worth a shot. Get as many reputable neurosurgeon's opinions as you can. Find who's performed the most sucessful surgeries.

Not what you're looking for?
