Anyone ever have anything like this??

[LIZARD]

I have recently started having a strange (completely void of pain) issue when fatigued or while heading into sleep. The only way I can describe it is an air-popping sensation on the right side of my head. It's inside my head and near the ear but is not an "ear-popping" thing. It will be random during that time and has no "beat," so it's not connected to pulse. It can happen once or a dozen times in quick succession.

Curiously, this is the side that had the shunt infection more than 35 years ago. That may have nothing to do with it. (My current shunt is on the left side, as all others [three] have been since then.) Hubby wondered whether or not it could be minor seizure activity. There is no motor component to it, and I have no sensations that indicate any of my "normal" simple partial activity.

Any takers?? :)

Hey, Kezz. :)

Thanks bunches, hon'. :) Do you still get it? If not, any idea what made it stop? I'm not actually worried, but it caught my attention. ;) It's just reassuring to know someone else has some clue about it and that (as I figgered) it's not serious. :)

Hey, Kezz. :)

I meant to mention that it's only on the right side of my head, and my shunt is on the left. :confused: I did have shunts on the right--a LONG time ago--and though I think they're still there, they haven't been active since my infection at 4 yo. (I'm 40 comin' up in a week and a half.) Makin' even less sense, huh?? :o



LIZARD, still scratchin' my big head...:o
