Tingling of the brain

Occassionaly, but not very often, either the left or right side of my head (my shoulder and arm might also be slightly affected) will get kind of a tingly or numb feeling for a few seconds. It doesn''t hurt, it just feels weird. It seems to happen randomly as far as I can see. I looked up symptoms for brain cancer and tumors, but none of them fit me. Does this happen to others? Anyone have an idea of what it could be?

Any twitching of the eyes or other vision-related symptoms? Have you ever had a concussion?

I agree with capn_midnight that it''s nothing to worry about. I find it highly unlikely that a serious brain malady would manifest itself as a tingling sensation in the general area of your brain. Nevertheless, you should take note of any other irregularities in the event that the problem persists or even worsens.

Maybe try a less potent blend of crack?

Stress, or siting in the same position for long periods of time can do that....

um, my friend, your brain tingling is perfectly normal.
i actually thoroughly enjoy that tingling feeling.

there are two ways to initiate such wonderful feelings in your brain.

1) have somebody do something for you; such as tying your shoes, doing your homework for you in front of you, or brushing your hair for you, massaging you...etc.

2) the second way is a little deeper than that...requires a bit o mental exercise....

mental exercise: in the middle of your brain there is a small lobe. this lobe, when stimulated, gives you that tingling feeling. to stimulate it, simply imagine a switch in the very center of your brain...and simply flip that switch forward! if you flipped that switch - you''ve just clicked your amyglia (the lobe).

Enjoy!

It''s just the skin of your head. I can do it on demand, but then it doens''t feel so good as someone causes it(By brushing my hair, and some other stuff). Ofcourse, my meditation sessions have tought me great things about my body. I can make me legs so heavy and numb that I don''t feel them anymore, on command.

Just an advice:

N E V E R search internet aiming to autodiagnose

If you are worried about something, go to the doctor.

That''s sensation was nearly the manifestation of your very first thought! I bet it disappeared after you read the lounge?

I thought the brain itself couldn''t really feel anything?

Here''s an idea: solicit medical advice from kiddie gamers on the internet!

Or...go visit your doctor...
