Epliepsy

[jchiu]

Hi,

I was wondering what is there on TV, computers, or video games that I should avoid. Is it better to do something else that does not involve light flickering? Should I do sports more then during my breaks?

I was diagnosed with epilepsy several months ago and hve found that riding in a car and watcing tv both appear as triggers for epsodes. My husband feels that the 'PIXEL' changes on the tv screen may explain this. Of course he is not a doctor so I muself have questions about this.

Having epilepsy for over 69 years now; I would feel that "you have to come to realize what may trigger your seizures and what may help relax you by a trial and error method."

I'd begin with a computer game of solitare, to understand if the color changes and speed of the cards affect you.  Also, I'd realize that "doing something as simple as this can help you better your reflexes and comprehension abilities, while taking your mind off of your problems."

Another computer game that I find interesting and relaxing is on www.pogo.com

They've got bingo, solitare, checkers, and many other games and they are free.
