That proved him wrong. Suggest seek care from a neurologist at an academic center where there is always confirmation of your unusual diagnosis and possible solutions will be available. Have dark sun glasses in your pockets to avoid such an episode Good luck

It is typical that uncontrolled epilepsy is triggered by numerous stimuli, and depending upon the frequency of the flashing lights, seizures can occur. There are numerous anti-epileptic drugs, and a search for efficacy should not be abandoned. Consideration for a Vagal Nerve Stimulator device should be an important decision. Would suggest a second opinion regarding all of this.
