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?

hi maggie, i always call them brainstorms, i used to call them fireworks but i like fireworks so i changed the name. its like a big eletric storm over my whole brain. doesnt last long but very uncomfortable. mine doesnt go into any part of my body though. i always just figure it happens when the seizure activity has gone a bit bonkers since i have it all the time. but it doesntget to a point of a t/c. hugs, banffgirl

I usually have the "head shocks" a few hours before it's time for me to take my meds at night. I don't know if they're seizures for me though. I take other meds and I think it could be a mixture of meds that are causing it. Then again, I could be having partial seizures. Who's to know? Lisa "I have Epilepsy. But it does NOT have me!!!!"
