let me point out that I find out about these earthquakes AFTER I note to myself about being ictal, or feeling ictal

there was an earthquake a few days ago that was 2 miles from my house - it was a 2.something so it was very minor, but during that time span, and prior to it, I noted feeling "off" and attributed it to a simple seizure span

I find myself attributing maybe too much to seizures thinking they are less clearly personally definable - that is, until I have episodes like yesterday/prior evening --->

yesterday I woke up having had bad bad sleep
I had blood in my mouth when I woke up
felt like crap all day and wound up having several simple seizure spans where I'd go off into a "ga ga ga ga" thing in my head, or out loud, notice myself doing something with my hands, but I wasn't there to notice much, or feel I needed to, or had to, or could, do anything about it.

aside:
sometimes it's sortof like feeling "good" isn't it? that feeling? it seems like it taps into the "reward" part of my brain and just tells me "ok chill out this won't be that long or that bad - or you won't know about it" and so I have a daze externally, but I have some mental processing going on still, but it's like being trapped in a daydream, ... so it's kindof "dreamy"... but then the entire world turns "dreamy", which isn't a good feeling - maybe sort of like the first few times his followers started seeing Manson in their dreams
and >no< I'm not a psychopath like Manson - I'm just saying it's an intrusive external/internal presence from a dream area of mental processing - maybe similar to brainwashing - I don't know - the only brainwashing I know of is me to myself to learn even better guitar

but back to the post -
so - two recent seizure periods - two coincidences with global earthquakes. One was two miles from me. One was across the globe, but 7.whatever in Indonesia

anyone else experience this type of coincidence?
I have so many other things I could attribute my seizures to I'd be difficult to really find this as cause, but who knows?
 
ya elizzza I've seen it -
frankly to me I'd never believe it unless I'd found coincidences of various phenomena - but I guess if I look at larger and larger groups of phenomena there'd be coincidences with everything :)
but seriously, my doubt has been caught off guard by some of the phenomena in the thread: GOES x-ray for one... not always consistent, but I've found that great leaps or dips in activity had a remarkable coincidence with what I consider spans of seizure activity
 
I believe it could be you are responding to the energy build up and release of the the quaukes. I get like that before a rain storm.

I'd wondered if it might be a response to a low-frequency wave that is released by the friction of the tectonic plates.
Who knows - weird.
