Photosensitive Epilepsy
If I look into the sun, or a light, what happens is that my brain doesn't work and I can't talk or even think about what I want to say. Has anyone else had this happen and if so has the same thing happened to you?
I see a Neuro-Epilpsy doctor that I see once a year. I also keep in touch with the Epilepsy Foundation. I wear dark blue sunglasses to prevent me from have the seizure. Thanks for responding
You need an evaluation at a center specialising in epilepsy. They have a machine that can produce various wavelengths of light and flicker frequencies while you are wired up and observed. Your diagnosis is quite common. There are varying degrees of this disorder.
