I have never been so happy to find a forum that has posts that relate to me in so many ways in which I feel like I've been in the dark about. Last year I was living in a small town in IL and the weather was warm which was around May or June. I started getting hives daily which would return the next day when I woke up even though I started taking anti-histamines. I always thought it was just allergies to a certain food categories but after I had singled everything out there was no allergy and I was left not knowing what this might be. I went to all different doctors who had no idea on what it might be and left no answers for me, so I just continued to take medicine to make the hives go away. I remember a lot of Neuro-psychiatric signs and also a very strange feeling that is rather hard to describe. At first it begins at the top of my head and goes all the way down to my feet and then disappears. It is something that feels so good and just tingles all the way down and feels like it just washes right over me. It lasts very briefly but can keep repeating itself several times. One thing that I've noticed is that it doesn't matter where I am but more when I'm sitting or in a laying position. It feels like an electric sensation but rarely hurts. It causes my eyes to roll in the back in of my head and some times causes a seizure like activity in which I have gone to the ER and they say it's not because I'm fully aware of whats going around me most of the time but I can't seem to respond to what is around me. My face twitches and lately instead of this seizure like activity it only affects my head with massive sensations only in that area with a paralysis in the face and I go somewhere else even though I'm aware of my surroundings through sound and the understanding of words but am not able to comply to the others talking to me or trying to get my attention. I get Cold sweats while feeling like I'm burning up at the same which doesn't matter to the room temperature. After this happens I feel extremely tired and start to fall asleep instantly but tend to go back into that state. I have lots of issues falling asleep at night and have weird symptoms of TMJ and muscle stiffness. Going back to the hives earlier in this; they did go away after a certain time period of a few months but have recently come back as well as the seizure like activities but extremely worse with me with a lot of confusion, weight loss, odd burst of anger and tons of sleeping issues. I hope I have covered everything here but if you would like to post i would very much like that and will reply to give more info if needed. TY
