Wow, I've almost had one in a car too for the same reason, fast tree shadows moving over the car.
Also what gets me is a light shining through a ceiling fan... in a restaurant making flashes on the table, and even in my doctor's waiting room. (?!) Why people don't have the good sense to install those stupid lights under the fan is beyond me. I just turn those fans off-- I'm not even polite about it anymore. I used to apologize to the people around me, but I guess it's more like a pet peeve now. Sigh.
Seeing Saving Private Ryan sent me running for the door, stranding my date. When I came back, a man in the theater had passed out and they had to stop the movie. Later, they issued a warning to people with seizure disorders that the movie had flashing lights ...I think this was a huge oversight because I know there's a computer program broadcasters can use to screen out harmful flashes on TV shows.
Thanks for the information about your medicine! I'm going to research it to see if it's something I could take. Best,
