Patient Stories

Rick, Vivistim user

The difference between now and before is, to me, is still a miracle. That you can cut your own food. I don't have to cut your food for you anymore. That, I don't have to worry about going out to the shop and leaving you inside the house - you have gained a lot of independence that you didn't have before we started Paired VNS Therapy.
