[epilepsy] Fireworks show



I thought I was done with the seizures. I am fourty-one and was diagnosed this year with epilepsy. I take keppra. I was at an A's baseball game and attended the fireworks show afterward. During the show I realized something was happening to me, it felt like a panick attack. I relocated myself out of the stadium and tried to breathe calmly. Things got worse, I was crying and hyperventilating. Then came the seizure.

I have noticed my warning signs this week (sensitivity to loud noise, feeling spacie and my dog warning me too) Is there a time frame from when the warnings begin to the onset of a seizure? or Do the warning signs signal that I may be easily triggered into a seizure?

I am angry that I can not control this thing that takes over my body. \\
I took the train back home that nignt and the movement of the train pulling away from the platform and the light of cars on the freeway freaked me out.

I do not think I should go to Las Vegas on vacation.

I am afraid that I am loosing my mind and that I am making these things happen?
