Epilepsy and Tanning Beds?

If you have epilepsy, can you go to tanning beds?

Tanning beds shouldn't be used for epileptic people. All people with epilepsy have different things that cause seizures. Sun, stress, depression, and a tanning bed can be on. I personally wouldn't take a chance to just look pretty. Hope that helps. God bless.

My friend has epilepsy and was told he can do anything except work heavy machinery and drive.

He says though, some things he doesn't feel comfortable with, so he wont do them.

My opinion, it depends. Is the epilepsy light triggered? Not all epilepsy is. And do you feel comfortable with going to a tanning bed? I think your best bet would be to see your doctor and talk it through with him/her, as he'd know what type of epilepsy you have and would be able to assist ya more with being able to see your notes.

My granddaughter has epilepsy and because of the lights, you cannot use a tanning bed. Even though you put eye covers on, you can still have seizure. The doctor told her never use a tanning bed
