New Device for Treating Seizures--AspireSR

I apologize for not writing lately.  I have been having a challenging time with my Vagus Nerve Stimulator.  I will have to check about modifying the stimulation level with my doctor.

That being said, there is a new version of the Vagus Nerve Stimulator called the AspireSR.  It provides stimulation in response to increased heart rate, which is known to cause seizures and sudden death in epilepsy.

There have been anecdotal success stories with it already, which is promising.  You can read about it here:
