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
