I was dx with simple partial (due to olfactory hallucinations of ammonia smell). I've been put on Lamictal and have a follow up on Wed. I had an EEG which was normal, even though I had arm jerks during the strobe light portion. Lately, I have to be careful with anything I watch on TV with rapidly moving lights. America's Got Talent with the dancers with light effects, the movie last night of Interstellar, to name a few. It seems to be getting worse :/ I'm getting worried its going to progress.
 
Yeah I feel you...it does suck...big time...I've been having these panic-like dizzy spells a lot lately with an occasional upset stomach feeling like I can't breathe and annoying muscle contractions/trembling...my body sometimes seems to be more sensitive at certain times especially when I eat...???

but yeah I have to be careful with these damn flashing lights/repetitive patterns too...hang in there :hugs:
 
For some people sunglasses/polarized lenses can help with light sensitivity. Might be a worth a try. See: http://irlen.com/

Yup got some myself...a pair of badass Nike's 8) (I love sports apparel...I.E. Adidas, Nike, Under Armour etc....)

The aviators look sexy on hot women though :D (and so does leather hehe)
