Another Type of Funny Feeling...do You Get It? Posted: 02-04-04 21:18pm
I have a lot of the same symptoms that
many of you do...The metal taste,
numbness, hard to explain weird feelings,
etc.
Pretty much all day long every day I have
my head feel like it is going wah wah
wah...Kind of my brain feeling like it is
pulsating very slowly. Like it is being
squeezed and not squeezed by a vice.
But it really doesn't hurt. I get a
mild headache sometimes...Well more like
daily now. However, I can ignore mild.
Although, since I have a high pain
tolerance, I don't know if it is a really
bad headache until it is like a migraine.
But at the same time it feels like my
brain is numb.
Also, I feel like I am not close to noises
around me...But I can hear them well.
My ears ring alot. I have read that
others on this bb have said that there
ears ring sometimes too.
Am I just weird?

The ringing in the ears that you're
experiencing might be tinnitus. I know
that it can be a side effect of tegretol.
I don't know about the other aed's.

Hi my name is jamie,
did your siezures come from your right
frontal lobe? Where did you have your
surgery? I had surgery 6 2002 at u.C.
Davis, mine came from my right frontal
lobe. Still having a few gran-mals not as
many as before, still having the auras
around my menstral. I know when I don't
get my sleep, get stressed, or don't eat
correctly. I get messed up.
I've been reading your respones, you seem
to know alot about this disease. My doc.
Just took me off of keppra, my memory
loss was short, so now he is increasing
topamax to 400 a day from 300. Anyway
i'll talk to later on the board. Jamie

My seizures are from the left temporal
lobe. I had surgery in 1988 at the
university of chicago. I also have an
increase in seizures before and the first
few days of my menstrual period.
(these are also known as "catamenial
seizures"). I notice an increase when I
sleep poorly and when i'm overly stressed
or upset as well.
I'm also on topamax. It has side effects
that concern me (like irritability and
problems with memory). I'd like to try
monotherapy with tegretol. I'm not sure
if my doctor would go for this. Besides,
I just had a job interview yesterday. If
I start a brand new job soon, I don't want
to experimenting with my meds.
Keep in touch.
A.I.W.L.

I get all of those feeling one time or
another. Especially the ringing in my
ears. I have been through the horrible
taste in your mouth, the deja vu, all of
it I think. I have been known to get
headaches (migraines) at least 3 times a
weak. So in other words no way do I
think you rae weird
