My nurse today said that from the sounds of my tingling and numbness feelings Ive been experiencing Jacksonian Seizures.
Looking these up, I found they are:

Jacksonian seizure also known as Jacksonian march is a specific form of epilepsy. This form of brain disorder involves a movement or progression of the seizure location in the brain, which further results in marching of motor representation of seizure symptoms. This disorder involves brief changes in movements, sensation or nervous function which is caused by abnormal electrical activity in a small area of the brain.
Jacksonian seizures are started with abnormal electrical activity within the primary motor cortex. They have a unique characteristic which makes them travel through the primary motor cortex in quick progression affecting all the corresponding muscles. They many a times begin with fingers.
Symptoms of Jacksonian Seizure
Symptoms start in one part of the body, then spread to another.
Abnormal movements may occur in the hand or foot
They move up the limb as activity moves ahead in the brain.
People can remember all the things which are occurring during the attach of seizure.
Head turning
Eye movements
Lip smacking
Mouth movements
Drooling
Rhythmic muscle contractions in a part of the body
Abnormal numbness
Tingling
Crawling sensation over the skin
I have all the symptoms that are in BOLD, along with the Motor Running Feeling through out my whole body.
I just wondered if anyone here has experienced these too?
