@absentsenior - I moved your post here to this discussion so that you could talk with others who have chatted about responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and its surgical implantation for epilepsy:

- Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) as an epilepsy treatment? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/rns/

Hoping members such as @barbj7 @caseybach @heal33 @bonton can speak to how they and their doctor decided to proceed or not proceed with this option for themselves or for a loved one. If they did do the surgical implantation of the RNS, I'm hoping they can talk about how the surgery and recovery went, and how it has worked since then. @santosha @brjudevo79 @grammy82 and @jakedduck1 also may have some thoughts to share about RNS.

Has your neurologist or epileptologist recommended temporal lobe RNS surgery for you, absentsenior? How do you feel about this option?
