Hormones can cause seizures in women, and if that is the case they
typically align in pattern with your cycle. Flickering lights can
causes seizures, and since the computer screen cycles, flickers, it can
for some people. Newer TV's cylce faster, but your brain can still see
it if it is sensitive to it. It is not a trigger for everyone, but for
some.
The best way to find out if you have triggers is to keep a log. It's a
pain, but if you can find a trigger it's worth it. Keep a log of how
much sleep you got, what you ate or drank (for some people there are
triggers, like caffeine) what activities you did during the day, if you
were sick, tired, felt normal, anything. Log when you have a seizure.
Sometimes a pattern shows up, for example getting less sleep the night
before.
The reality is there are numerous triggers for different people. The
most common are lack of sleep, stress, dehydration, light sensitivity,
missing meds, and caffeine.
