my brother has photosensitive epilepsy
just because it doesn’t ALWAYS happen doesn’t mean they don’t exist and that it’s just a phoney myth.

i have photosensitive epilepsy, absence seizures, and grandma seizures. its very difficult to live with them because i dont remember one thing from my childhood because of memory loss from the brain damage

The eeg with the flashing light test showed no seizire activity for me... but they installed new led lights in my workplace and my epilepsy is now affecting me again after 5 years of my epilepsy being controlled.

Its different for everyone. For myself bright lights cause migraine to intensify and my thoughts scatter, it won't trigger a seizure right away but the stress from the migraine can trigger a seizure at least for myself

Even though I have Photosensitivity Epilepsy my Seizures were caused by a Tumor.

No one thinks everyone with epilepsy has photosensitive epilepsy.

My cousin has epilepsy and is EXTREMELY photo sensitive, so I'm classifying you as as a... FRAUD!☝️ Just because something may be rare that dosen't make it untrue.
