" Sophia, I had the Vagaus Nerve Stimulator put in Jan 07. It helped alot. Not many insurances cover it. I highly recommened to everyone. However, recently I have become phsically ill, chronic pain, all of my body. They need to do a MRI, but due to the implant they can't. I will be seeing a Neurologist this week. If you are still interested in the VNS contact me. I wish you well "
