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?

Hello,
My son has Epelipsy. He was diagnosed at the age of 4yrs. He is experiencing flashing lights. As he weined off of Keppra to Depakote he was seeing only white flashes. Now that he is on Depakote only, he is now experiencing colored flashing lights. He is on his 4th medication trial. Anybody experiencing this?

I have migraine with aura. My aura for the migraine is a colorful, flashing light that lasts for 1-2 minutes. Therefore, not all auras for migraines are black and white.
