Hi Haley,
Welcome to the forum! I'm no Dr. but I've had seizures for 37 yrs. and my neuro found that I was photosensitive which means certain colors will trigger seizures for me. Also certain sounds can trigger seizures sometimes. This is also known as audio and visual epilepsy. You need to speak to your neuro and have a special e.e.g. done where they will flash different color strobe lights one at a time to see if certain colors will trigger the seizure. I found flourscent green, amber, and bright white trigger seizures for me. The next time you start to get these feeling tighten up all the muscles in your body and make your hands into tight fists this will stop the seizure if you catch it in time. I learned about it back in the 1970's from my neuro and it has stopped many seizure. Also try taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg. a day, vitamin B12 will help calm the nerves down. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
