Ask him what trigglers his fits... not all epileptics are triggered by lights.
As for stress... dont think there is much you canchange there... he either will or wont be stressed! xx

huh i comented hours ago on this but it didnt post weird.
i have considered that too and mentioned it to them but all u get off them is i'll/he'll be fine dont worry so now im a bit like well if i have them and something happens ill be devestated but if i dont have them then they will get annoyed at me for not havin them cause he has epilepsy :/ x
hopefully by time disco lights start he'll be at home drunk in bed or asleep on a back rest somewhere drunk lol x
i think i might not have them and just let him be annoyed at me xx

My MIL2B has epilepsy and she cant go anywhere near any type of flashing light and stress does start it off aswel but only extreme stress. We are going to take her to speak to the venue/dj etc and discuss what type of party lights we can have etc xx

One of my bridesmaids is epileptic and she mat be dropping out as shes really really worried about fitting during the wedding and ruining my day bless her :-( She isn't affected by lights tho funnily enuf xx
CommentAuthorstressed to max b2b
ask her what triggers her fits?? and if she knows when shes about to have one.my dad knows when hes goin to have one so lucky makes in to a chair to sit down or when hes at home a bed,during the ceromony she should be fine if she takes her meds main concern would be reception cause there is sooooooo much goin off, but find out her triggers,she could still be one but instead of walking in with the rest maybe go in a few mins before so she can get sat down before it starts or maybe sit at the bac so if she needs the air and for someone to take her outside, i would hate for my dad not to come id rather him come and fit than not be there cause hes worried about fitting x

She has it really bad and they can last days at a time, shes has an experimental nerve implant and everything. Shes been in a coma for weeks a few times when its been really bad. And she never has any warning when a fit is coming and shes been really bad with it last couple of months again. I feel so sorry for her that shes worrying about it and have told her i want her there no matter what but she can't seem to shake the worry and i'm gonna need an answer one way or the other so i can start buying dresses and stuff.
CommentAuthorstressed to max b2b
first of all she needs to stop worryin about it cause the stress and worrry wont help her i think sit down and have a heart to heart with her tell her you dont want her worryin and u would love for her to be there on your day and that if u had to stop half way through the ceremony "if" she did have a fit then u would be glad to (if u would if not then obviousley use the tactical of well i dont want u stressin so if its gunna be easyier on u then lets just leave it for u to be a guest) hold the ceromony while someone sorted her out then u would carry on xx but u defo need a 1 on 1 chat with her to help her feel more at ease, my dad has to walk me down the isle but i am fully willing and prepared to carry him if i have to down the isle lol x

Yea well i live away from home now but im visiting next week so me and my MOH are planning on having that chat. Ive already said everything u just suggested there, about her not having to worry and i still want her there etc. My MOH and another bridesmaid have known this girl since we were 6 years old just like i have so they are more than prepared to deal with it if she did have a fit. So all i can do is reassure her but if she is still so concerned about it i will totally understand if she would rather back out. But whatever her decision i need it soon so im gona have to ask her to make her mind up even though it sounds mean of me x
CommentAuthorstressed to max b2b
good luck hun i hope she stops stressing long enough to calm down and to accept been one :-) if not then like u said at least you'll know and u can start dress hunting x
