electrical shock in head?

Mon, 07/18/2005 - 00:37
Last night I was laying in bed with my eyes closed and all of a sudden on the left side of my brain it felt just like an electrical shock.I jumped and there was a tingling sensation down my right arm.Didn't last very long.A few seconds later same thing but not quite as intense.Has anyone ever had this happen to them?Or am I just going crazy?

OMG! I get those too! That light ticklish tingly feeling - I actually love those better than all of the other symptoms I get. Mine don't hurt. Mine just feel as if I have someone tickling the right side of my scalp and then I get a tingly feeling in my neck and shoulders...and then it's gone. The ones I DON'T LIKE is when I am in a meeting at work, and I get those sensations, and I know that it's an aura, because I CAN'T WRITE! Those are the freaky ones....

Mine hurt! It only last for a split second! Not really long enough for me to even say anything but it leaves me kind of dizzy. A little off you know. My fingers get numb. I am thankful that they don't last longer because if they did I don't think I could handle it.
