Mine were called Absence, now Partial Awareness. Where I live there is no Liability Insurance, so they call 911. I would not trust anyone to administer anything. I now wear a Lifeline button. I had a fall because I had not eaten due to a tooth being pulled, and was in the ER.

Light Sensitivity .
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Diagnosed epilepsy 2017 after two seizures two years apart. Lamotrgine has kept seizures away. Have always been a bit light sensitive but Increasingly in recent months… If I’ve seen a very bright flash of light or spend more than an hour on PC, within 24hr i get a fuzzy headache in one area of head, right centre.. lasts for four or five days and then clears… it’s a fairly recent development for it to be happening so frequently and am a bit concerned. Any advice please?
