? Relationship.: Thalidomide has neurological side effects but is not commonly thought to cause seizures. In fact, early studies suggested thalidomide might have anti-seizure activity. Myeloma does not commonly cause seizures either, although it might contribute to seizures if it causes electrolyte abnormalities or a skull tumor involves the surface of the brain. Work with your doc to evaluate and treat seizure
