[epilepsy] Seizures seeing from patterns/movements .

 

I have several questions. For the two most important questions, skip to the end and see the ones with the * by them.

I do know I need to talk to my doctor so please don't just say to do that. What I am asking for is similar experiences, suggestions on specific things to tell him, and things like that.

Seeing movements or patterns seems to trigger seizures. Is there a medicine that can lessen siezures specifically triggered by seeing patterns or movements? Lamictal doesn't have side effects for me-or so I thought. My sensitivity to light is increasing. Things seem bright and I notice things flicker more than I used to. My eye doctor once said that any medicine taken for something in the nervous system, will have an effect one one sense or another (hearing, sight, etc). I can't avoid seeing things like shadows flickering through trees, sign language, etc.

You know how you blink hard/suddenly if you are in a completely dark room and the lights are turned on unexpectedly? That is what the seizures in the car feel like. Or are they seizures?

*Is there a difference between NES and epileptic seizures that are increased by stress?
* Is there a medicine that can decrease seizures caused by seeing patterns of movements?

Thanks.
