Hi all. I was surfing around trying to find some info for some work I'm doing in school, and in this forum (#1) I found an old post from 1999. I must have been very lucky 'casue I was bored and just picked one :)
He writes
"At the point between wake and sleep..just before I sleep.. half awake.. I can have a sort of sezure, I can feel my body convulsing violantly..or I get sort of shocks shooting through my brain..and I struggle to make it/them stop.. sometimes it scares the heck out of me that I might not make it stop.. on the odd times I havent then I simply pass out... The strange thing is that my wife says nothing happens.. I am not shaking ? just nothing. yet I feel it is?"
see this link: http://www.sleepnet.com/narco/messages/964.html

I get this too. When I get it I feel REALLY REALLY SCARED. And I really have to struggle to get to 'the surface' again. I don't feel it in my body, it's mostly my in brain and the right ear. But I can't move (or maybe I'm just to obsessed with getting out of it, that I don't think about it. I dare not try to let it go). It has never gone so far that I've passed out, but I know I will if I don't snap out of it. Sort of like I'm drowning.
I haven't heard anyone who has this exept this guy, so I'm wondering if anyone else feels like this?
