Has anyone had the RNS implant? If so, how is it working for you?

is that the same as VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation)? We did a lot of research.

No its different than the VNS. My daughter had the VNS years ago and it had to be taken out. It didn't work for her. My daughter is 36 and has epilepsy, she is married and has a little boy. She sees a Dr at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She has had a surgery to help with seizures. She still has seizures about every 3 weeks. She is looking into the RNS now.
