Crawling sensation on side of head

[EDCCS]

So I noticed like...a month ago that I had this strange tingling sensation on the left side of my head. It felt like there were bugs crawling there (there aren't!) and then it went away for a bit. Now it's back again, and I'm worried. Twice at random intervals, I had a sharp pain over there, but I don't know what it could be. Anyone able to help?

So Weird to find this posting,
This happened to my mom, at the time was sixty six years of age in 2003. She was suffering a major depression over a severe bereavment, isolated and slept alot. This was the first experience she articulated to me,.. Then after began having paranoid delusion type dreams; someone comming to take her away, another harm was happening to me, and alot of alarming thoughts. Only thing I was confused about was that mom had slight medium abilities her whole life; and a family member insisted she attend a evangelical service, They pulled to the stage and place their hand on her head to pray, Not sure if something occured spiritually or medically but she slept alot afterwards and had crawling feelings inside the side of her head. She been on medications for Alzheimers now five years. Doctors finding were based on family history alone to make the Diagnosis. But this alway remained with me noted it down on an old sticky; and here I am. anyone have any other light shedding info, ***@****

I've had that too.  Tetracycline caused me major anxiety.  What helped me with the head crawlies was an over the counter allergy med called chlorpheniramine maleate.  Sounds weird, I know, but it really helped.  I have my own opinion on what causes it but it's kind of "out there".

I have this feeling when I'm thinking about my passed on loved ones or spirits being near me like some sort of psychic thing. I'm guessing your thoughts about it are somewhat similar. Let me know if it is because I've heard other people having this because of similar reasons.I

Today, it started in my ears; like an amplification feeling of a speaker without sound. hat my best description. I felt like my brain was literally downloading something. Then the sensation of something crawling all over my head. My backstory though; I've had 6 seizures in my sleep from June till Sept. I passed all eeg and ct scans and don't appear to have epilepsy. I take keppra once a day before I sleep because I don't want my kids scared. But ever since this began; I continue to Lucid dream every single night, sometimes leaving my body to walk around my house. It sounds crazy but it is so true. I've done research and have come to conclude that we are definitely energy enforced beings. Some of us are just amplified more then other ei. psychics, mediums... I still don't understand it though. I started taking Lionsmane mushrooms daily to heal the cells in my brain. I'm no Doctor either, but I am searching for an answer I don't think many can answer. My body is healthy, my blood pressure is that of a person who ran marathons. I've been scanned head to toe to look for cancer and tumors since it caused me so much anxiety when it was happening. I'm finally open to receive because I feel like I'm not even of this world even though the person next door would call my crazy... You're not alone.

What about antibiotics, specifically tetracycline? I've been on that for the past month or so for an infection

I take no medicine at all, and i recently got crowling feeling on my head. I attribute it to sudenly working a lot in a yard, overheating, being stressed and on top of it I once pulled my neck a bit.
Probably neurological. I hope it will pass. Japanese plum, lawquat is blooming right now, so may be also an allergy?

Don't let your neck injury go, thinking it will just pass.  When it effects the nerves on your scalp...get this checked out right away!!!  Neurologist should be able to help.  Ask them about Occipital Nerves.  It usually starts from the C2-C3 spine.  If goes unchecked, you'll kick yourself because it gets worse and no turning it back.

also some meds can cause this especially antihestimines and antidepressants !!
