Default I need to talk to other people who have to deal with Primary reading epilepsy...

seizures resulting from reading are pretty scary .It isnt the most common type of epilepsy but it is what I have.

Im 20 years old and I am going to school to be a hair stylist (I dont have to read as much as a regular college student but I still have to read and I still enjoy reading books that have nothing to do with school)

anyways, heres my question/thoughts/feelings/concerns...you get it.

I wanted to know if anyone else has this.
when I read, I get these twitches in my jaw, which occasionally...if I continue to read, will turn into a seizure. It is especially bad if I am reading out loud. It sounds like I have a speech impediment. It really scares me when I get these twitches and I have to immediately stop reading when they start. It gives me anxiety and they need to stop. I wanted to know if anyone else has these twitches with their primary reading epilepsy or anything similar

I mean seriously, its not like I can avoid reading so I want to get all the information I can and see if anyone else understands or has experienced this.

thanks
