Hi @jaderm
Great to know that the VNS is working well for you :-).
I am also not familiar with thyroid problems and if this can cause fainting. I believe it is a good idea to check if the fainting you have been experiencing is related to your thyroid with a doctor of hormones. As Jake wrote, please let us know what the doctor has said.
Curiosity, have you had any changes in your life in those past 8 months, bringing more stress and anxiety into it in? Is stress one of your seizure triggers?
All the best!

Thank you for reaching out.yes mam I called my epileptolgist and told him I have to be referred to a endocrinologist. Stress is definitely a trigger but I usually just have seizures around menstrual. I haven’t had any changes in my life stress related. Just finding out about my thyroid. As I had my hormones checked cause I thought I was going through pre menopause. I was having severe night sweats. Sometimes I would be freezing now I’m hot all the time
