Wow what a relief its so nice to know that we are not alone a? and yes the other evening it was so bad i wanted to scream!!!! the bouncing ball (good way to describe it)went on for hours and it got so intense that it really freaked me out. i do have seizures when i am unconscious, jerky and on some occasions i wet myself ,just great a? I have mentioned the jumping sensations to my neuro but he just looks at me as if i am nuts ,then i get paranoid and think ,ok its a psychologist next.It is so hard to explain all the sensations in words , so i was so greatful to her i am not alone and we should keep intouch with neptune and share our experiences. it feels so good to here from you i am actually smiling thanks ,please do not think i have disappeared if i do not respond straight away but at the moment i am in and out of hospital due to my leukeamic cells are paying a visit at the moment so i cant alway respond as quickly as i would like too .keep smilling and thanks bevsxxx

- The only thing I have read so far that seems to come close is a Simple Partial seizure. What caught my eye on what I read was this:
These common seizures may include strange or unpleasant sensations in the stomach, chest, or head....
Here is the link:

Hope this helps. If I come across anything else, I'll let you know. Smiles!

I have the same thing but I keep saying it's like someone is bouncing a ball in my head. I even ask my wife to put her hands on my head to see if she can feel it. She can't!!! You know that last feeling that you get right before you go to sleep where your brain just crashes? Sometimes the jumping sensations feel like my brain is repeatedly trying to go to sleep. One time it felt as if someone hit me in the back of the head but from the inside. I let out a little scream and threw my arms in the air. It makes me think I am going crazy. Sometimes I get it with the electrical charge sometimes I don't. It always makes me tired afterwards. I also get seizures in my hands and feet that go up to my head and make it jump. Neptune? Is this what happens to you too? I don't get Gran Mals and I have only had one seizure where I coompletly blacked out but I have had had several where I felt like I was going to. I have been trying to describe these in this forum but so far you an Nrptune are the only ones that have responded that you have jumping sensations in your head. I don't feel so alone anymore. Those of us that feel these types of sz's need to all meet on the chat line at a certain time and talk. I think we all need to share our experiences. Sorry to go on so much but I really need to talk to people that experience what I do.
