John
I have it implanted, had it done 6 months ago now and it is going well forme. Have had my ups and downs with it, but all in all it has been a positiveresult for me. I am no longer having generalized tonic clonics, have veryminimal Complex Partials (I used to have only those) last month only had 1 CPS,then now I only have the Simple Partials and Aura's and find that is great. Iswipe the magnet and it aborts the seizure in less than a 30 seconds and I haveno after effects of the seizure. No tiredness, or slurred speech. I have thedevice set at 3.25 miliamps going off every 3 minutes and it states on for 30seconds. The magent is set at 3.5 and when I have to use it it sets the deviceoff for 1 minute. So its a real blessing for me, I have been able to get mylife back on track again.
