Creeping feeling in your head?????

[Holly]

Oh! Boy here I go...

Sometimes when I am sitting down, or even anytime I feel I need to scratch my head. I feel like a "sensation" on/in my head, I immediately run fingers through my hair, if I'm with people!!! This seems to stop it, probably doesn't but I need to do something.

Or if I'm at home, or on my own I scratch my head! Blimey how daft do I sound? But I wondered if any of you experience this queer sensation. ha! It seems to be a reminder to me what has happened, or am I just being silly???

Golly! I am sane really, heee!

I thought it was just me going mad.

Thanks Laura, I felt silly mentioning it, but I know it's there, and I'm not imagining the feeling.

I feel that if I saw someone scratching their head I'd think........what have they got?.....Lice...na!

But, seriously when I need to......scratch......I gingerly...scratch! ha!

Hi Holly

Its not just you I also get that feeling at times. Mines my scar line which can't be seen because its covered by hair but it does feel pretty creepy at times.

Hey Holly

You are most definitely not on your own - I get it a hell of a lot. I'm just sat there minding my own beeswax and it feels like there is something crawling down my head - I run my hand through my hair and then scratch - it's like a tickling feeling - but I know its on the inside not the outside. I used to get it all the time just after my SAH and my Neuro guy couldn't explain it - he thought it might be my brain reabsorbing the blood from the clot around the anni - but 20 months on I would have thought that it would have all gone by now - but you just never know do you?

So there you go - you're not going mad hun

No, definitely not going mad - I too get the 'creeping', tickling, trickling feeling and can be seen to be frantically scratching at times - rather like being in the ape house at the zoo!

Me too! I also checked for head lice becasue my son got a notice from school.

And just today I got a new wierd sensation. I scratched my head and it felt like I was tickling my cheek. Very wierd. It kind of felt like th sensation when you get your mouth frozen at the dentist.

Hi Holly

Yes, I get all sorts of weird sensations in my head, also on the scalp and sometimes like someone is applying pressure to my left ear. If I scratch the scalp though on the itchy spot it really hurts as if there is a buried spot or something underneath.
