I wanted to see if anyone has acitivity in this area, and if so - if you have that electric-shock type of seizures (while awake).
Any information would be great, I'm rather new to being shocked and it freaks me out. |

Hi Ellie,
I have both simple partial (aura) and complex partial sz. I have never had a electrical shock type sz. but when I have an aura sz. I start to see colors in my eyes, get a nervous feeling in my stomach, and sometimes I hear one word repeated over and over again like an echo. I'm totally conscience when this happens but often times it will lead into a cp sz. and I've noticed that if I have a hot cup of tea or coffee in my hand I always spill it or if I'm on the phone I stop talking to the person and hang up on them not realizing what I"ve done until after the sz. I know it may sound wierd but my neuro I had told me the moment I get an aura to tighten up all the muscles in my body and make my hands into tight fists for a few seconds by doing this it often stops the aura sz. from leading into a cp sz. or an absence sz. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You! Sue |

My scans showed a lesion in the left parieto-occipital region, and some of my SPs are like parietal and occipital szs. I hadn't thought about the shocks. I mostly get tingling, intense electrical tingling very localised in one spot. I have had shocks but just thought it was my nutty nervous system

Find the full article HERE. This is a good read for anyone who believed seizures didn't hurt but still felt pain. I don't know about you, but I felt a little less 'crazy' when I found out why I thought something was 'shocking' me. I am paralyzed during this, but I have around 30-45 minutes of tingling and numbness before the shocking starts. The shocking lasts an average of 15-20 minutes. I eventually pass out, fall asleep or something (I forget this part) and wake up 2-5 ish hours later and feel perfectly fine (most of the time). |
