For some people whose epilepsy can’t be controlled with medicine, surgically removing a small piece of the brain can reduce seizures.
Unfortunately, Ryan Diettrich isn’t one of those people. So in October, Ryan, 24, joined a small group of epilepsy patients who has chosen the RNS system, made by the company NeuroPace, in order to manage his seizures.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
