14 year old

My 14 year old daughter. Started about a year ago with episodes of saying things looked different. she doesnt know how to explain it other than Mom I know im in your bedroom but it doesnt look like your bedroom. Ive googled many different sights and came acros epilepsy. simple partial seizures and jamais vu? she had an EEG and had an episode during the flashing light but nothing registered. currently waiting for an MRI to be scheduled. The smartboards at school, flashing or flourescent lights , stress, lack of sleep,  and movies tend to trigger this? Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you Tracy
