Spiz,
where are you feeling the bad pain or hurting feelings? If itÂ’s through out your body it might be just because of the muscles tensing up when youÂ’re having a seizure. Please tell me more about what youÂ’re feeling and where itÂ’s at.
Hope19,
Concerning the Zaps. I have them, only when I have them the whole left side of my body dose not work at all. I droll and bite my tongue and hit people who try to help me. When I come out of it I am crying and donÂ’t have a clue were I am. I can not drive and I am really confused can anyone help me??? What are they???
Hope19, biting your tongue matches the seizures called tonic clonic seizures. Commonly and popularly known as grand mals. And those youÂ’re experiencing with trying to hit other people and not having a clue where youÂ’re at, may fit into the complex partial seizure type. IÂ’m not for certain about the first one you described, about the left side of your body not working, but might be in the simple partial category type. I will say that because this is happening on the left side of you body, it probably has something to do in the right side of your brain.
Have some questions for you though Hope19. Are you aware or unaware of whatÂ’s happening when youÂ’re having any of the seizures? And if so, tell us, which oneÂ’s are which. More detailed information is very helpful for diagnosing the seizure types. This is something you doctor will need to know about.
Let us know and we'll see if we can help you both with more useful information.

It's Tracey,,& I agree with what you've said,,,& to top it off,,,I had '2-Surgeries' done in 'London-Ontario-Hospital'(Best place to go) & they told me,,that these 'Feelings' we get,,generally are 'like friction' between the 'Left & Right-Sides' of our 'Brain'. When they aren't 'Co-operating' or (as they phrase it) Arguing,,they cause 'buzzy feelings,head zaps etc',,
I hope this helped of some Kind,,I love talking in here to everyone,,,It's Great knowing other's out there know how I feel/& feel some-what the same,,,
