I have never heard of the phrase "memory foam seizure" before... (I have temporal lobe epilepsy here)... But something about that phrase seems so... Right... during partial seizures I've noticed that they were accompanied by certain thoughts... tho for the life of me I couldn't tell if the seizure was causing the thought, or the thought was causing the seizure...

But it makes so much sense that a thought can cause a seizure... when in the hospital after I had my initial grand mal, when a technician was wiring me up for an EEG, she asked me what I remembered leading up to the seizure. So I started describing it... Up to the point of remembering a very weird feeling. And sorta added "kind off like I'm feeling right nowwww...." trailing off... And... Then I was in a hospital room... not quite realizing I was missing some time.. like where the hell did the technician go? Or the room I was in for that matter? Eventually having it explained to me that I had another seizure.

I've been convinced for years that the action of trying to recall what the start of the seizure felt like actually caused the second one.

I have since been on anticonvulsants, so I've never really been able to test that theory. (Not that it would be a good idea to do so).

My auras have been both deja vu and it's opposite, jamis vu. Things that should have been familiar to me lost the aura of familiarity. Feelings that I woulda associate w a panic attack... Then triggered "memories" that seem like they sold make sense... But don't... like fast flashing images of old hanna barberea cartoons. Very, very disconcerting... Fortunately been years since the last aura (none since my current combo of meds).

Of course, since you came up with the memory foam term (and not the doc).... Still nothing conclusive about thinking of a seizure triggers one, or seizures just cause those specific thoughts and feelings...

Alfonso! Did you get to keep any breakin' and poppin' kits?
