Variation in light and sound cause epilepsy

[Tyler Robinson]

My last epilepsy episode was during childhood. 

Variations in light or sound trigger my episodes sometimes. 

And sometimes over stimulation. So games like poker can trigger it. 

Reading and writing tends to soothe it. 

I am not on meds. It just healed on its own. I never had a full episode but I'm prone to seizures under extreme stress or fright.

What's the point of this thread, exactly?

I have epilepsy but it only got worse over the years.

I wanted to know if anyone had similar experiences, whether they take meds or if they are using any coping strategies. 

I used to have it bad.. But it got better over the years and I don't think I will have another episode. 

But I am just trying to be cautious.

I just take medication cause I wasn't able to find any specific trigger tbh. I was having almost multiple daily episodes.

I heard of people who got cured without doing anything. Good for them. But I think mine won't go away any time soon.

If you want to be sure, just don't hit your head,avoid severe illnessess and COVID.

I got Covid @Espaim I got Covid twice this year. But I recovered well. But I did suffer a seizure which caused the left side of my face to become non responsive.

After a month it became alright. Now my face is back to normal. 

I try to avoid extremely bright lights.

Epilepsy is weird.

My mom didn't have a seizure for like 10 years or something, and then she got a seizure again.

Yup I have heard of such.
