HOPE someone can help me with this....

I have been lurking and watching for something similar that is happening to me. But I haven't seen a similar problem with anyone.

For several months I have had a jumpy nerve or pulse around the back of my head, toward the top. It's so hard to describe it. I have it sometimes when I am awake during the day, but the most annoying is when I am awakened with it. It's like a contracting of a muscle, or the beating of a slow pulse, seeming to be on my scalp, not deep in my head. The pulsing is not regular, it can come and go. It does sometimes wake me out of a sound sleep. It is getting me crazy, because when it wakes me, it is usually towards 4:30 or 5 a.m., and I cannot get back to sleep, because it is there, on and off.

Does anyone have anything similar that has been diagnosed, or does anyone have any suggestions as to what this could be? My doctor asked if it was a headache, and I said no, which it isn't. I have dry eye syndrome, but don't know if it could be related to that. I usually put something in my eyes if I awaken, but it doesn't always relieve it.

If anyone has any ideas, please respond.

Re: HOPE someone can help me with this....

Huff,

This one is odd -- I just did searches for twitch and jump and skull and "back of head" -- nuttin'....

A couple of ideas for you: keep a diary of when it happens and what you are doing just before and while it happens to see if there are any consistencies.

Also -- it may be muscular, or it may be a nerve? See if your doctor will refer you to a neuro (not surgeon) to see if a neurologist can help you.

Good luck! Let us know what it is when you find out!

Thanks so much for the reply. I guess I'll have to start somewhere, so will do the neuro. If anyone out there has this problem, please respond.

Huff,

One other thought.... look through some of the other boards here on HealthBoards and see if you can find anything about twitches or pulsing -- regardless of body location -- and post your question there. Someone might have a suggestion for you.
