know all about it. When I was around 3 years old(1956) I would raise my right hand over my right eye and sort of lose consciousness for 2 seconds. Then back to the real world. This could happen many times when the sun was out. Local doctors didn't know what to think of it, so they sent me through the Mayo Clinic. They didn't know either. Gave me some pills but I only got diarrhea out of that. Never thought an 8 year old could smell that bad!! Lol!!
It developed into epilepsy when I got older. Still can't handle the light and snow in winter.
