Last night while I was in bed I had the worst feeling. It felt like someone took an electical shock to my left side of my head above my ear and i was hearing the zapping sound like an electical shock. This morning I can still feel where it happened because it is sore. Has anyone EVER felt this before?? HELP am I going crazy??

No, you're not going crazy! I'm not a doctor, and I don't know what happened to you. But I once felt something similar - I once had a seizure similar to what you described. I never felt any residual pain from it, though. But auditory hallucinations are common during seizures. As for the feeling of electrocution, it happened to me once just before I went into a T/C (grand mal) seizure. Go to your doctor, right away. Rest assured that you're not alone in this, and you're not crazy. Honest.

Kazzzza, It must have been scary. Don't stress, from what I know seizures have a habit to change around on us, so maybe this is happening. ------------------------------ Peace, Love, Mung Beans
