I didn't know they fit the description of one type of seizure or another. I've had plenty of migraines with the pain, more than enough for any one lifetime. Lately I've been having what I can only describe as " buzzzzing. " It's a sound I hear in my head, as well as a feeling of electrical shock in my head, neck, shoulders, arms, and once as far " south " as my left knee. When this buzzzzz happens, if I'm talking I stutter or stop talking. If I'm walking, I have to stop and grab hold of something. Sometimes it's light and easy, sometimes quite painful. Sometimes it lasts a fraction of a second, sometimes it happens over and over again for up to 3-4 seconds, non stop. My doctor said if I was having seizures, I'd know it. I don't think that's true. My daughter recently had a grand mal seizure, and knew nothing about it until her husband told her. If she had been home alone, she would have never known. My ex-husband had epilepsy, and had petit mal seizures. The only thing is, I know when these " bzzzzzzzz " are happening, I'm not unaware of them as my husband was unaware of his petit mal seizures. So, I have no answer to your question, just more questions of my own. Sorry!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Nancie, This is Rose, Mike's fiancee. I have had seizures since I was 17 having been diagnosed with them in 1974. Some people have " auras " which can manifest themselves in different ways. Mine are usually strange smells or visual problems like flashing lights(dots in front of my eyes) Sounds like the buzzing may be an " aura " for you. Please feel free to contact me at wolflady_1957@... anytime.
