Anyone seen this clothing with considerations for those w/ seizures?

Posted by royanthony @royanthony, Jan 6 5:33pm

Researching for after Christmas sales, I found a made in the USA clothing retailer that includes considerations for people who have seizures. Never seen anything like this in almost 30 years with epilepsy! They provide a number of options to select to do your shopping on-line. One actually addresses flashing lights and certain colors if you turn this option on. Has anyone else seen something like this for on-line purchases?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Epilepsy & Seizures Support Group.

I am also interesting in knowing the name of the company, it's surprising they wouldn't jump on the opportunity for referrals.

I use dark glasses and look away when around emergency vehicles to avoid the flashing lights. Looking away from emergency vehicles might not be the safest thing to do but it's necessary for me to avoid a seizure.

Hey everyone, I believe it's because of the same old thing. Seeking approval for use requires my educating the company in just a few written sentences about epilepsy. You know the lack of public education, in general people don't want to be associated with epilepsy. I'm just going to call the company directly and hopefully they will respond positively. I'll let you know their response.

Called the company as promised. It's name is the Vermont Flannel Co. Go to their website link. On the home page, on the right side at the bottom is a blue circle with what looks to be a person in the middle. Click on that. This is not a Chat link. You'll see a list of items. The 1st line references their epilepsy considerations. All their clothes are manufactured in the U.S. So, for us who can't drive and are under house arrest, their clothes can keep you warm on cold days. You can order their garments on line. DM me you should you have other questions.

Thanks so much @royanthony!
I've even noticed they have flannel leggings. Perfect for staying warm during winter yoga practices! 🙂
