[epilepsy] Re: getting hot and seizures

 

Hi Michelle,

Just wondering, you mentioned your son has seizures around malls, are they indoors with air conditioning? If so, might it be the lights that trigger the seizures. Might the restaurants have sharp lights? Sharp bright lights can trigger seizures any place! The spicy foods, is it in a specific restaurant that just happens to have bright lights? Just a thought (smile)?

For instance, watching the Chicago Bears this season might bring on a seizure? Would it be because of the Bears having a terrible season, or might it be because of the stress watching them play poorly all season? Or maybe because of the flicking light from the TV? In all reality it might have been good going into a seizure the first game and ending after today's game (the end of the regular season). That way I would have missed the entire season (smile), eliminating stress (smile). Take care, keep a smile on your face!
