For some, the shopping mall glitz and wintry twinkle of the holiday season are hallmarks to bask in and enjoy. For Maralyn Allen, they can spark rushes to the emergency room.
Allen has epilepsy, the photosensitive kind where full-body grand mal seizures are triggered by flashing lights, like those strung about at Christmastime in shopping displays and out on the street.
As a result, she’s been hamstrung by the holidays for years.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
