Hi Vicky - My daughter Rebecca, began having tonic clonic seizures at the age of 14. She is 18 now.
Welcome to CWE. I hope you find it a place of comfort and support.
 
Hi Vicki, welcome to the forum. :hello:

i was probably suffering absence seizures since childhood, and my seizures don't seem to habe any relation to that. i'm triggered by light flashes
 
Hi :)! I know sometimes at a young age it can seem so frustrating to have to deal with this but coming to this forum helps you realize you are not alone and all of us understand to a degree what is happening. Hope you enjoy it here!
 
Hi, hello

and how do you do? It's very nice to meet you!

Yup, being photosensitive (triggered by light) is something that a lot of E patients deal with. Some have found that using specific glare screens for their computers will help, and that glasses with a polarized blue tint in them help also.

Check out all the different nooks and crannies here....I'm sure you're going to find plenty of friends, and information. We're a fun bunch, and the dinner party is great. :) Mr B has built us an AWESOME home here. :)

Take care!
