My little brother who is 19 years old has had two episodes of sezures (epilepsy) during his lifetime; once...? |
... once when he was only a few months old and I don't know what triggered it (I'm assuming from a blunt impact/trauma to the head but I'm not positive) and once when he was wrestling my other (older) brother and hit his head on the ground really hard (so definitely triggered by a blunt hit on the head) around the age of 10 or so. If you have never had a seizure caused by flashing lights before (and if he has been to places with strobe lighting and stuff) then it is highly unlikely for him to have a seizure caused by the lighting. I wouldn't want to take the risk! I know he's an adult and so are you so make a responsilbe one and don't do the drugs and play roulette or gamble with having another seizure. Are you ready to make the decision that it may be his last one ever? So many quaility positive things to do with him out there, please try them instead. actually if he is diagnosed with epilepsy, he should not be near flashing lights, strobe lights or anything blinking. talk to his doctor about it. maybe ex wouldnt be such a good idea, but who knows ask a doc. i would think the ex would be fine but the flashing lights and stuff at the raves might trip him out. dont go til u ask his doc yet! It might sound stupid but I'd test him with a strobe light before you go. Drugs could trigger his seizures too. I'd "test" everything in a safer environment BEFORE you go to the actual rave, the last thing you want is this kid having a seizure at a rave - YIKES! |
