Seeing flashing lights in my vision
Fri, 06/04/2010 - 13:17Hi,
I was diagnosed in March with E. I am wondering if this has anything to do with E or if it's my eyes.
when I sit on my patio at night I will see a FLASH of light and it's not lightening. The other night the whole sky was vibrating when I looked at it.
Anyone with experience similar?

Hi Sammis,
I've had some of the same things happen to me. Within the past two months I have had two seizures after reading you message I realized that I experienced the same thing before each seizure buth the seizures occurred while I was asleep.

That is true. I was abruptly awoken out of my sleep seeing circular colors with a sucking like action of my tounge with a rythmic tremor like action of my arm. It lasted a few seconds then I fell immediately back to sleep.
