Hobbies. What Hobbies Can I Introduce To My, Almost 18 Year Old Sister? That Doesn't Involve Going To Pubs And Club?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My sister has epilepsy, she's currently not on medication. She's been awaiting an appointment for some time for medication.

If she really enjoys concerts go for it Have someone go along with her ( especially if there's a lift going.)I don't have photosensitive Epilepsy but flashing lights annoy me so I close & cover my eyes.A lot of theatre venues & our news over here ,advise you if they're going to use strobe lighting etc

Usually if you’re out of the medication you need in the bottle says no refills you can always call the doctor and ask them if they can refill you until you get the appointment to meet with the doctor also everybody has different triggers If you’re worried that the lights will affect your sister going to concerts just go with caution and have a plan in place if she ends up having a seizure while she’s at a concert it’s always good to have a plan in place in case a episode Occurs while out and not home

Hello there, a while back I picked up a hobby for my spare time. I enjoy making hemp jewelry. I purchased some books that tought me how to do it, I now have a great time making rings, bracelets, necklaces, bags, pretty much whatever I want to make. Just buy the strand, or twine & beads, some people even put in their requests. Good luck!
