photosensitivity and noise sensitivity
Sun, 01/04/2009 - 09:05Any adult with epilepsy out there have the experience of having photosensitivity and noise sensitivity?
I have had epilepsy for 35 + yrs and this past June 2 months before giving birth I started having photosensitivity and noise sensitivit which triggered seizures. I NEVER had these symptoms/experiences before. before these problems began, I lived a very independent life and worked, drove, etc...now I am much more limited.
I am curious if anyone else has had this experience and how it was diagnosed and what they did to resolve these problems. Especially women who went from nearly seizure-free during pregnancy to having multiple daily seizures. Particularly, if they had photosensitivity and noise sensitivity. Did it go away? For me, these symptoms arrived spontaneously with no warning, no history. Thanks.
