Default Big Brother made me realise I was epileptic!
I never knew I was epileptic uptin BB8 last year, right in the middle of the series when someone was evicted... I suddenly had an epeleptic fit. Freaked the life out of me it did!

According to my doctor it's quite mild but I still have to take a tablet every day.

Makes me chuckle every time I watch BB now

Lol you lot are so much more scared than me!

No because the doctor said it's not strong, it's only a mild case, and as long as i take my pill there's only like 0.1% chance of me having a fit.

It's going to take more than that to stop me watching bb lol

I have a very mild form of epilepsy (absence attacks), but it doesn't get provoked by flashing lights. I just have to take a tablet every day too.

You can't say something offensive than palm it off as 'no offence'.

Seriously, being ditzy isn't 'funny' when you come out with something offensive.

'****' is short for spastic, which is a word used against disabled people. Read up. It helps you not be an offensive imbecile.

Are you for real? Not only is it offensive buts its also widely incorrect and you're way off the mark. A '**** attack' as you call it is, as Lauren said, to do with disabled people. An epileptic fit caused by flashing lights etc cause the brain to switch itself off then restart itself because it can't handle the electric activity. Epilepsy is not a disability.

Its nothing to joke about - when you know people who suffer with it it greatly affects your life as well, not just theirs. It seems a terrible thing to live with, I couldn't imagine being in so much fear.

Think before you post.
