The day I had my first big grand mal, MSNBC changed its home page. Now
I can't stand to go there. I've tried several times. It makes me feel
weird. Not quite aura-ish, but I've gotten so paranoid about having
another one, I can't stand even almost maybe feeling that way.

It's been over a month now. Eventually, I'll stop worrying about this
and live life like a normal person again, right?

I can understand avoiding anything a person thinks might have contributed
to a seizure.  Heck, I've done that myself.  I just visited the site you
mentioned and I didn't see anything moving or blinking.  The colors on the
page seem to be normal colors (no florescent or shocking colors).  What
color is your desktop and frames for your browser?  I have mine set to
neutrals because I can't deal with all the color mishmash.  I can't use
desktop patterns because it drives me nuts.  I'm assuming you know about
monitor resolution and possible problems from that.

Oh, also look at what you were doing before you got on the computer
because maybe you were ready to have a seizure and it was just coincident
that it happened while you were on the computer.

You know, that fear, paranoia, aversion or whatever is what we folks with
simple partial and complex partial seizures can experience.  For myself,
that fear thing was constant and did not get better until I was put on
medication.  Other people, I guess, only have those things (the fear
factor and its variations) near the seizure.  I wonder if you are
experiencing some symptoms from another type of seizure activity.  I mean,
with these simple and complex seizures, you don't necessarily have to have
an active seizure to experience some of the related symptoms.

I used to have seizures that were like panic attacks.  This all started
after I had a seizure at the university basketball arena.  I had to lay
down in the hall and the paramedics came to help me.  I didn't have a
tonic clonic seizure, but I felt like I was about to have one.  After that
incident I had my husband take me several times to the same place.  Some
times I would start to get a strange feeling in my gut as we were on our
way to the arena.  I kept trying to overcome this, and the doctor
increased my medication to a therapeutic level.  Eventually these strange
panic attacks or seizures stopped.

Take care,
Julie
