Last night was the 5th or 6th night I had a dream and in it I was being Electrocuted. In my dream its as painful as heck-----It starts in my feet and works up-----As most times in the dream I am on duty and there is a broken wire causing part of the floor to be live--When I realize its to late----I am really thinking that these are seizures now----My dream-Its just explaining the pain to me----My dreams do this for most of my night ills, for some strange reason----

I googled sleeping seizures and did not find anything to match.....

Both arms still feel odd and shaky--and I thru my neck out.......

Any ideas?

sorry for asking tantas preguntas (so many questions)

THANKS

You really are having a rough time of it Pete.

I dont have any answers but wanted to send my best. Are you going
to the Hospital??? How is the headache???? I hope your new year
will be the one where you get the answers and the help that you need.
Hang in there.

Electric shocks can be caused by neve pain/lesions on the spine too, I get them from my head all the way down to my butt, it is almost a pulsating shocking sensation, so may not be seizures at all but nerve dysfunction. And since it starts in your feet it almost sounds like some sort of neuropathy.

I have had a similar feeling, but it goes on in the back of my skull. It may be related to L'hirmettes (sp) for me ... although it does not travel down my body, but seems to occur within my brain. It only happens when I am sleeping too, and I have wondered if it is some kind of seizure.

It only happens once in a blue moon, maybe 2 - 3 times over a week, then I don't get it for months or years. I have never been tested because I figure if it was a seizure, it would keep happening.

I would mention this to the doc if I was you.

Cherie

I would definitely mention this to your doctor. Does your wife notice any unusual shaking at night when your sleeping? I always feel Jim's spasms and such because we sleep in the same bed. It's not unusual to have seizures with ms but only a doctor and additional testing can diagnose that. I would also not google symptoms if I were you and bring that to the doctor. Look on sites that doctors use such as the New England Journal, etc. Jim's doc wont even consider something unless I looked on reputable sites.

She probably notices less and less---

Pete

I agree with everyone else--go to the ER and get yourself checked out, please!!

Lordy I feel like a crazy man----Just a question---do you think I am losing it. My mind?

Maybe I can talk my wife into bringing me late at night or very early in the morning---Like a fishing trip, only different--This time I am the fish and the bait---The doc well he is fishing me of course----

Honest opinions are welcomed since you all have walked this turf well before I

Crazy? Well define crazy....



The stuff you are saying is all stuff I have said, in so many words. I saw so many docs that did not a dang thing to help me. If I had seen them on fire, I would not have pee'd on them to put the fire out.




So how can you go through that and not feel a little crazy? It's not a normal situation.

I do not get my hopes up that the next doc IS going to help, but yet, I HAVE to keep going because it still hurts. I have to keep trying.

All of them are not sadists, although a lot of them seem to be. Odds are you have to run itno a decent doc sooner or later, one who can do something for you.

Mine is a pain doc - those are THE only ones in Ohio who will rx any pain meds at all these days. All the docs are so afraid the feds are watching what they rx they won't give you anything.


The only ones who get screwed are people like us.



I really hope you get some help.

Ok I told u I was gonna PM this but I'm gonna post it here case anyone can add to something I forgot. For when you go to the neuro on Tues........

Take a written or typed timeline of your symptoms short to the point, dates they began, are they still ongoing?

Doctors have a short period of time to digest alot of info and try to diagnose you, Give him the paper and let HIM do the talking..question asking.

take a list of your current medications and how many you are taking include if that medication works for you or not.

I already told u this but....Do NOT NOT talk about how incompetent all your other doctors are or have been.

If you have CD's, other tests results take those too.

Be patient, stay calm, and keep an open mind!

When the neuro asks you what you are there for give him a BRIEF synopsis of why and hand him the paper. Remember the more u talk, the less time he has to actually try to figure out the problem.
