Anyone Heard Of Getting “pins And Needles” In Your Scalp As A Aura?

More than once post surgery. My scalp has felt that asleep feeling you get after the “pins and needles” feeling is gone.
I also read it could be psoriasis 🤔

Never had it in the scalp but I do get it in the hands and feet.

Oh for sure senses are so messed up from a seizure. Emotions are overwhelming- gotta remind self it will pass then we're fine. All have diff senses like our dreams. Glad we know why with meds to help it pass too.

It's dif per person, I get a little bit of that dif places, but mostly when the seizure occurs, my opinion

I had been rather busy, plus sluggish the last few days.
Could have been an aura. Definitely manageable but not ideal.

That can be an aura of a seizure. When I first came down with epilepsy I had an odd feeling that felt like tightening my scalp that started like a slight tightening then increased. Some times I did have seizures sometimes didn't. I had seizures when the tightening felt as if it was getting very tight. When it was slight I felt it decrease and the feeling faded I had no seizure. I guess it may be the same action I used to have. Not a guarantee just a suggestion or possibility!
