This is great news, @tonyde! When you encounter flashing lights (a known trigger for certain types of epilepsy), do you typically experience only an aura, or does it progress to a complex partial seizure or even to tonic-clonic seizure? If the latter, you've likely prevented a more severe seizure by moving to another room, closing your eyes, and resting.
If you have a chance, I recommend watching one of the videos I shared with @jakedduck1 called "Stopping Seizures Before They Occur." It features someone with epilepsy who follows the Andrews-Reiter approach. Flashing lights are also one of his seizure triggers, and in the video, he explains his strategies for managing this trigger to prevent seizures.
Have a restful evening and night!
