VNS Update - Had a followup visit with the neurologist on Friday, 25 July...he asked me if i wanted more time off from work. As tempting as it was to say HELL YES, I refrained - so back to work I go on Monday! No seizures since I last saw him, so we made no adjustments to the settings - still 30 seconds at .75 every 5 minutes. I was half expecting him to tell me that something happened again with it not going off as much as it should, but it is going off (according to the computer) as it should - guess I've gotten used to it quickly. I'm sure that the relative ease in my getting used to the stimulation is from Dr. Mohan's philosophy of starting low and upping it if need be - sounds as tho the other patients on the Cyberonics website and such have side effects that are more intense because they're pulsing either stronger or more frequently right off the bat.

Work - eek! Part of me's ready to go back, part isn't. I just hope I'm not getting in over my head by going back full time.
