I have a Vagus Nerve Stimulator aka VNS for seizure control. I also have dealt with depersonalization and derealization. Turns out stimulating my vagus nerve not only stops my seizures. This also makes it possible to feel emotions and connections to life and people in it again. I sat on my sofa and drank myself half dead for 5 years just to numb my detachment issues. About a year after I was implanted with VNS I realized I was starting to feel emotions and connections to life and people in it again. So I got sober. Today I have over 13 years sober and I have a life beyond my wildest dreams.

@Sterling Cooley I can atest that stimulating our vagus nerve like mine is, stops any euphoric high you get from alcohol and or drugs. I have plenty of experience with this. My last drunk I git so drunk I fell into a piece of furniture. I kept drinking because I could not get the euphoric high. I had noticed it months before this though. I have had to take pain meds for surgery recovery. I never felt the euphoria you feel when taking pain meds. The only thing I can attribute it to is our vagus nerve calms us down. So some how stimulating this nerve like mine is my vagus nerve balancing out my equilibrium. It almost feels like our vagus nerve is what is spreading consciousness thtoughout our and bodies. Our vagus nerve goes through our gut. 90% of our serotonin originates in our girls. Serotonin is the feel good juice in our brains. Well if our vagus nerve is moving along smoothly through thyroid. Our vagus nerve is considered the "Superhighway" between our brain and our gut. If our gut is pleased it is telling our brain via our vagus nerve. They will be implanting VNS with people who chronically obese

I developed encephalitis in both temporal lobes and hippocampus of my brain. This left me with amnesia, seizures, dementia issues, and a nonstop state of depersonalization and derealization. Science discovered stimulating our vagus nerve can stop a seizure on the spot. Which is why I was implanted with my Vagus Nerve Stimulator aka VNS. Turns out stimulating my vagus nerve not only stops my seizures. This also makes it possible to feel emotions and connections to life and people in it again. I would have welcomed death at one point in my life. Today because of stimulating my vagus nerve I have a life beyond my wildest dreams. Our vagus nerve is where our love, empathy, and passion comes from.

I have a Vagus Vagus Nerve Stimulator aka VNS. My vagus nerve gets battery volts sent to it every 3 minutes in 30 seconds intervals and has been since the year of 2011. I am literally never hungry. Stimulating my vagus nerve is telling my stomach I am full. I eat to stay alive. My thyroid is in first gear too. I could just look at a cheeseburgerand start burning it off. I lost over 30 lbs. after installation of my VNS. I have mine for seizure control. For those who are not aware that science discovered stimulating our vagus nerve can stop a seizure on the spot. I also never had an athletic bone in my body before my VNS. Today I am running marathons and competing in triathlons. Are vagus nerve goes through our heart and lungs. This is assisting in regulating my heart rate and breath so I could run 26.2 miles. They will be implanting VNS with people who suffer with heart disease and asthma because of these reasons. They will be implanting VNS with people who are chronically obese because of these reasons. I also have dealt with depersonalization and derealization. Stimulating my vagus nerve not only stops my seizures. This also makes it possible to feel emotions and connections to life and people in it again. Our vagus nerve is where our love, empathy, and passion comes from. Our "fight or flight" nerve. I would have welcomed death at one point in my life. Today because of stimulating my vagus nerve I have a life beyond my wildest dreams. My VNS is implanted in my chest just underneath my left collar bone. There are wires attached to it that are pushed up my chest into my neck. They wrapped the wires around my entire vagus nerve. My VNS is battery powered. It powers up every 3 mins for 30 seconds. It can detect a seizure before I am aware I am about to have one. It will start up immediately and stop my seizures. Also I do not have tonic clonic seizures aka Grandmal Seizures. I have Simple Partial Complex seizures. They call them "Aura" seizures. You would not even know I am having one. I do not lose cause. Also our gut produces 90% of our serotonin. Serotonin is the feel good juice in our brains. Our vagus nerve is considered the "Superhighway" between our gut and our brain. So if our gut is not pleased it is telling our brain this via our vagus nerve.
