Re: [epilepsy] Fireworks show



Julie

Welcome to our group.

It sounds like you have had szs before. Is that correct?.

Everything is different with each person. Depends on what
meds you are on and what it is that triggers your sz. It
sounds like maybe flashing lights is a trigger for you.
These feeling are called auras and they tell you it is
time to sit or lay down.

I've had EP for 47 years. When I was diagnosed when I was
30 I had 3 daughters 2, 4, and 6 years.

I suggest you read all our letter . There are 25 different
kinds of szs and about that many kinds of meds. I'm glad
you joined us.

Join the club when you say you are angry that you can't
control your szs. That is the life of a person who has EP.

I've had EP for 47 years. I'm glad you joined us. Read all the
letters
