Epileptic attack

[#26985]

I had my first epileptic attack in the last Rave I went to, and I'm not even epileptic. It was fucking awful; all of a sudden
towards the end of the Rave the lights started flashing unbelievable fast and I started twitching uncontrollably every time they flashed. I heard that another girl also had an attack. I've read that Ecstasy can trigger first time epileptic attacks, but I was wondering if this damage is now permanent...as in, if the lights start flashing at that speed again will I get another attack. I'm hoping this was just a one off as I think I was just a little too fucked at the time. Plus, I was waving the glow sticks around in front of me (figure 8's, etc..) and kinda being hypnotised by them...and then the lights kicked in. I think that was just the icing on the cake, really..

Anyways, after had the attack, the friends I was with brought me into the next room, sat me down and gave me some water and 2 min later I was fine again, and went dancing.

Anybody else had this happen to them?
