Musicogenic Epilepsy

I use to be intimidated by flashing lights.  When I was younger strobe lights, seem to do it to me.    A very gentle friend of the family told me the fear is controlling you.  I thought in one way she was right.  I worked at a high school and dances were once a month and they would have a strobe light in the gym and I never went in there.   I thought I could ride my bike home.  When a siren w/ lights would go by, I would be on the ground!  It got me mad when I realized I had a seizure.  The fire dept. that would pick me up  and they told me that sirens would make me fall asleep!  When I was in high school certain classical tones of music I would listen to and off I would go into a seizure and I would fall asleep. When I was in a seizure monitoring unit,  I was fighting an aura while listening to some classical music.  The nurse walked into the room for something else and I told her I am not feeling right.  I could not talk right.  I could not communicate at all. at one point and went to sleep.  They told me I had a group of seizures and have given me medication to stop it. Sound, light can cause seizures. I have had trouble w/ it but I never knew until now that that was the cause.  I love music!  Reading was a problem when I was younger.  It took me a while to understand and read the print. We all have challenges I will admit. They effect us differently.
