I just saw Alice in Wonderland in 3-D and I was afraid to do so, but my daughter and I talked about seeing it before I was diagnosed. I took the glasses off a few times during parts with alot of movement such as falling.
I did pretty well, but everyone is different.

Sammis, good to hear that you went to see a 3D movie - many non epilepsy sufferers will experience "funny sensations" during a long 3D movie, the brain is being tricked into seeing something it is not used to.
Hopefully this gives you the confidence to watch more 3D movies without trepidation.
cheers, Mike

Well Mike, if you're not trying to berate me or my comments, then stop assuming I don't know about seizures and epilepsy, and stop posting your comments like these...
"...maybe you might do a little "broader" research before making certain statements."
"...maybe take a deep breath before reacting / responding."
What I say in my postings might not meet your satisfaction, but it meets my satisfaction. I've learned a lot about seizures and epilepsy, and it's not just because I have epilepsy myself.
