Hi Everyone,

This hasn't been a problem yet here on EDSkids but here goes the new rule.

As you may or not not know, Dysautonomia patients as well as other health conditions such as neuropathy have a great sensitivity to flashing lights etc. Flashing lights can cause seizures and make other health conditions "flare up" - or to become worse. They can also cause headaches, eye aches etc....

From here on, EDSkids will not allow flashing lights, sparkly, and fast moving objects from their signatures/avatars. This way everyone who has eye issues or are prone to seizures on this site feel safe and comfortable coming here for support and advice.


We're all friends here and are supportive of one another so this shouldn't be a problem!

Thanks for reading!!!

If you ever have any questions about this please let me know or any of the other moderators. If you would like to post a graphic with semi sparkly stuff, I MUST pre approve it. :] Thanks for the cooperation.

This rule is pretty important...I have visual problems as well as Dysautonomia and flashing lights trigger migraines and not such fun things for me...

Thanks for your cooperation y'all!
