Help me out?

Tue, 07/06/2004 - 10:32
IM a dj who lives in essex and have been holding my own events for four years or so, I have found out that a few of my friends/family have had epilepsy for years and i never knew of this fact. I had a person come up to me asking if i could hold an event for epilepsy people and to be honest i want to give it ago, But i do admit the only thing holding me up on this project is that i know very little about this, If anyone could help me with some facts about epilepsy and loud music/lights or anything else i should know then please get in touch with me

DJ,I don't have any links, or info..but will share with you, that certain specific sounds throw me into seizures. Of course, I can't remember the tone quality, if I could, I would avoid them! It happened today in the car...it was terrifying, as I usually get an aura beforehand, and can somewhat prepare for the 'worst', but this time, there was no aura.BEst of luck to you, and be safe...always.classy

One thing that I will tell you is that I think it would be great for you to do the event!

Something that happened to me at my best friends wedding was that they used alot of disco like lighting... and I was thrown into a seizure... not good - the dj was fabulous though and we are using him for our own wedding with a few changes - instead of inside with all of the lights outside in a park during the day with a lot of fresh air to breathe and room to move about... just a suggestion...
