I have been experiencing some of the same symptoms as Benign Rolandic Epilepsy. I think that's what it was called. Can adults have this? It says it usually only appears in children. For the past year to year and a half, I keep waking up with a severe pain in my tongue. My tongue will also be stiff and hard to move. I nearly always bite my tongue as well and create deep words along one of both sides. It only lasts for a brief time then it's over. Recently I have discovered i don't have to be completely asleep now do I have to bite my tongue. The pain has also seemed to move into the back of my throat a little and I sometimes have difficulty speaking in the morning because my tongue is stiff feeling. I have also started finding that I am drooling afterwards and sometimes around my mouth and lower cheek will be tingly. It usually is on my left side but can happen on the right. I can't figure out what is going on except maybe an epileptic seizure but it only seems to happen when I'm asleep. Kim matthews
