ATTENTION ALL epilepsy.com repliers,
Every single one of you who are having the “mind pulses, head zaps”, you are having a seizure. And yes, stress can be a good reason as to why you’re having them, along with sleep deprivation. This seizure is called a “simple partial seizure”, which is also commonly known as being “auras”. I’ve had them for 18 years now and nicknamed them jolts. People may have just one or maybe a group of these seizures clumped together. They vary from person to person and from day to day. For myself, I may have only one throughout a entire day, then a clump of them on the next day. The strength also varies.
To help answer JolieÂ’s question in message #9Â…having a brain tumor is just one of the reasons why people might have epilepsy. You posted your message on Feb 14, 2005, saying that youÂ’re scheduled for a MRI on Friday, which must have been Feb 18th. How did everything go and were there any results from it?
Got any more questions then please feel free to ask, because thatÂ’s what this support group is here for.

No, my bottom lip feels numb for a long time afterward. Novacaine numb but without feeling big.
