Need some advice
Tue, 12/12/2006 - 15:15Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
Hi!
My daughter Shelbie has had a few seizures since Aug. Her last one was 2 weeks ago. Before she had this seizure she was playing her gameboy in the dark. We are not sure if that is what caused the seizure or not. She has been playing her gameboy since than, but it is only with the lights on. So far no seizures. She would like more games for christmas, but my husband is worried that her seizure was caused by the gameboy. I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced something like this, and what do you think about buying gameboy games?
Thanks!

I just wanted to add, that my 10 year old daughter has petit mal daily seizures and she is sensitive to lights...she seems to have more seizures while watching her brother play ps2 game system. Although I want her to feel as normal as possible, we do limit her game viewing.. Good luck to you!!
