Re: [epilepsy] Some advice wanted on my seizure yesterday

 

Hi!

That sounds like my classic seizures. Sometimes I feel queasy, sometimes not. But I usually have some concentration issues, feel like something's off, etc... Light can also bother me (like filtering) and has triggered seizures. I would call your doctor and let him/her know what happened. It may just be a fluke, especially if you're not really stressed, you've gone to bed on time, etc.. But maybe you need a med change. I wouldn't totally discredit the light this time. If it keeps happening though, I agree--go see a doctor, which I assume you already do for your eyes.

Subject: [epilepsy] Some advice wanted on my seizure yesterday

Hi

Yesterday I had one of my regular epileptic storms, I felt
ok the day before but I have been thinking back and the
build up to this seizure have been obvious, stroppy,
irritable, impatient, and others. I lost concentration,
focus, and I had a muzzy head most of the day. I also felt
queasy most of the day which is unusual for me. Also, when
the sun comes round to my side of the house, it is very
bright and the bright lights seem to aggravate me. Not only
when I had the seizure but other times. I spoke with the
epilepsy action earlier on and they suggest that the bright
lights may be caused by something else. What do you guys
think about this? I am blind so I can't see but when I face
any bright or flashing lights such as when you are driving
along the road and you pass trees and the sun is flickering
between the trees, I can't look at the light. I just need to
know what this may be. My eyes work even though I am blind,
it is the brain that is damaged.

Regards

Adrien
