I have had epilepsy for 52 years. The doctor was supposed to put a battery in my VNS. I haven't seen the doctor since. I haven't wanted the VNS or seen any benefits of it now.

Good afternoon,
I was curious how long you had the VNS?
do you have any side effects from it like coughing, voice changes, problems swallowing, sleeping. Have you asked your doctor about your headaches being caused by the VNS because that is a side effect of VNS?
Some say the longer you have it the more effective they become.
Take care,
Jake
