Getting a mental image from a medical condition is syn, right?

When my doctor was talking to me about oxalate crystals (don't ask), I kept getting a mental image of yellow triangles. Neither word is yellow to me, and I don't usually picture crystals as being equalateral triangles.

Is it consistent and involuntary?  wink  ( love Oh, I've missed saying that!) Anyway, I know they are, because you wouldn't ask if they weren't. And I'd totally call that syn.

Didn't you also have an image up in the albums on the original nexus of white triangles on or over your ribcage...? I think I remember you put that in the  touch -> syn syn album, but I can't remember what the stimulus was for that, if it was a symptom of a medical condition (as opposed to the concept of one) or some other  touch -> syn stimulus altogether. For some reason your post made me remember that white-triangle-ribcage image.

That was when I got cramps in my ribs from dancing too hard. That was actual physical pain, though. This is more of a  concept -> syn  thing.
And yes, it is involuntary and consistant  wink .
