Hi dmurphy:
I really hope that you see this post since this is from last year. I would like to know if you have found the results of this experience. I had an experience earlier this year and I believe that I suffered from shock, however it has been a year and I am experiencing some of the symptoms that you talk about in this post. The shakiness in the head, I have trouble sleeping, the smell of something burnin, hearing sparks, and even sounds like something cracking in mymouth. Not sure what it is though. I would really like to hear back from you.

I experienced a 'Complex' seizure in '96 while driving, and 'blacked out' and crashed my car into a house. Luckily, I was not seriously injured!! Since then, I have Simple Partial Seizures, but typically only at night while sleeping. These all last a matter of a couple of seconds and wake me up, with a feeling of 'doom' (like what I would think would be a heart attack). Each time, I would describe these as if someone were applying a 1000 volt shock to my brain!! I fear that I may continue with these, with little hope that my personal doctor can help me, but worst...that a qualified neurologist can diagnose what's going on. The last neurologist I went to was 'little help' and charged be a ridiculous amount of money for seeing him. I'll only go 'so far' as far as the 'cost factor'.
