It affects your throat with a tingling or sore sensation right before it goes off. You will get hoarse for those 30 seconds it is on, and will return to normal for the 5 minutes it is off.

I feel now the same as you did last month as I am scheduled for the first appt. for the VNS surg. Also, for the past 7 months I have been prescribed 6 different drug combinations and the changes have only been for the worse. I hope everything went well and you can advise. Also, if anyone could advise how this affects the feeling in your throat and your voice? I would greatly appreciate. Thanks & good luck all...stay positive.
