to me, especially if the ballasts are going bad or the lights are
going bad and they really begin to flicker. That's why I wear
sunglasses on my head all the time, even at nights.

Those things will either provoke a Migraine or Seizure or even
worse, a Migralepsy.


I've learned to look away or shut my eyes or look downwards
if those things begins to fire off.

Strobe Lights on the other hand ... is really weird with me,
sometimes it won't do anything, and sometimes it causes me
to tremble up where I beg them to turn it off, to a point where
I'm almost in tears. And within an hour or so, I get this huge
massive headache ... like what happened when I had my EEG
last Friday ...

But I never had any colorized light EEG


Hi Sharon,
I'm no Dr. but it sounds like you may be photosensitive like I am. The name of the e.e.g. is a photosensitive e.e.g. my epi ordered one done a few yrs. ago when I told him how strobe lights were causing sz. for me and florescent green was the worst color to trigger sz.
Before I started having any sz. I started having migraine headaches then the sz. started about one yr. later. If you use a cell phone take note if it bothers you and causes migraines or sz. because the frequency your in using cell phones can bother some people like lights can.
One thing I noticed is since I had my brain surgery the colors don't bother me as much as they used to. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
