Curious about photosensitivity

I had epilepsy as a child and think it may have returned!
Could I be having seizures/
Could my seizures be drug side-effects?

Curious about photosensitivity

Postby synritical on Wed Aug 27, 2008 9:53 am

Hi there,

I'm a little curious - I've only ever had 2 seizures in my entire life, and both have been induced by looking at older TVs too closely - I get an aura, then if I fail to look away, I go into a seizure.

My EEG was normal, as was my MRI, and have been completely seizure free for 4 years (due to avoiding TVs...)

My question is - will I randomly have a seizure, or must it be induced by the TV?

Thanks!
