I recetly moved across Canada to Ottawa where my brother lives. Since my stuff hadn't arrived yet my brother gave me an X-box that used to be our moms. I finally learned how to play sudoku on it so I had fun playing but it seemed to provoke seizures. I didn't have any but I would start to feel spaced out & sort of hypnotized as I sometimes do before one. A couple of times I actually had to stop & focus to stop a seizure from starting.
I assumed I was being photosensitive to the X-box so I bought a sudoku book so that I could play. Oddly enough I started to feel that same hypnotized type of feeling. I rarely have more than one seizure a day & I'd had one that morn but when playing sudoku I had a 2nd, 3rd & 4th seizure all within an hour. The next day I played a few games again & got a few twinges but not as bad, the 3rd day it didn't really seem to effect my seizures (if at all) & the 4 day the sudoku seemed to have no effect on my E.
Has anyone had any similar experience with mental activity triggering seizures? I'd love to hear about it. So far My only theory is that creating new neural pathways by doing new types of mental activity is what triggered my seizures but I intend to do more research once I'm unpacked.
