Follow a case study of a patient dealing with intractible Epilepsy. Faced with intolerable side effects from ever-increasing dosages of anti-seizure medications, she struggles with the possibility of implantation of a novel new non-medicinal device. Vagus Nerve Stimulation, with a battery powered device implanted in the neck, might be the ultimate solution. But what if it fails? What if there never is an answer? Her research, her uncertainty, and her ultimate decision are chronicled here in a heart-warming tribute to a brave woman. The author, involved on a very personal level, spends countless hours researching Epilepsy, searching for answers. He feels helpless, as the patient, his beautiful wife, gains over seventy pounds, develops a very noticeable and worrisome tremor, wakes at night to hallucinations, and loses her self-esteem. The one possible answer seems to be VNS.
