There's a VNS Message Board online that I've know about. I went to it and noticed that it doesn't have all of the loaded postings and replies like before. I just registered it and awaiting for approval. I have no idea if everything is still on it, but do know that it was loaded with postings from those who have it, someone they know who has it and those who are curious about the VNS.
Ok, I just received approval via email and the VNS Message Board is still loaded with postings and replies. But everyone must register.
Home page for it is at http://s4.invisionfree.com/VNS_Message_Board/index.php?act=idx

hello linda i've had seizures since the age of seven i've tried medication that was fda appoved and some meds that weren't approved. In 1998 I was implanted and had a baatery change in 2001 and due soon for a third battery change. I have become somewhat of a expert of all the side effects of this implant.The battery has no effect when stimulation is not in effect.What my biggest concern are the coils in your neck they could NEVER be removed even if the implant is taken out.I wish I could just live on meds but in my case the vns has stopped all daytime seizures.Now I can do alot with my kids then before so everything with seizures has a postive and negative.We all hope for cure but for now live laugh and make the most out of life. Hope I helped out with the battery question
