Triggers

[dfwtexas]

I am blessed that I have a great neurologist that spends time talking with me about my concerns. I told him that I have a lot of photosensitive issues even though the EEG didn't show me as positive for that.
Doc told me that I shouldn't get caught up on why or if a trigger should make sense...he said I know my body and mind better than anyone or any medical text. If it bothers you, count it as a trigger and avoid it at all cost.
He told me he has had patients that had seizures trigger by a particular song. He said he actually had a patient that had seizures when he heard Mary Hart's voice on ET (I thought that only was a Seinfeld episode).

Well he's right about the particular songs. One for me is "Three" By Britany Spears. It always comes on the radio and I have to clamp my ears and hum or something instantly that I hear it. it even happens when I dont register that its playing, then I wake up on the floor, and Chad saying Britany Spears brought me down again. Not sure exaclty what it is about that song but it irks me on the worst level

Also I seem to have a few random triggers. like something like a car alarm can go off, and i have a tonic clonic, and then other times I can hear the car alarm and nothing happens. Did you know that american car horns beep in the tone of F. so that tone can affect people.

There are some crazy triggers out there huh..as long as the folks are aware of them then its all good I guess.

I would love the name of your Dr...I am undecided if I really like mine or not.
