Strong L'Hermittes?

[karilann]

I have a mild L'Hermittes when I do the head down to chest move.  Nothing major, just a small short shock down my neck.
Last week I had to deal with the death of my mom.  I was up for 3 days and nights with her. Then I had to make all the arrangements while fighting a nasty sore throat.

What bothers me is during this "72" hours awake straight, I began getting what felt like an electric shock but it never left my skull.  It was scarey. I would grab my head in both hands.  My hearing would become really muffled.  Then I would immediately stumble.  I had a couple of these since, but none since the funeral (Jan 26).  I faxed the info over to my nuero and told her I was informing but did not want to come in unless it does not go away. (She practices a bit away and my insurance does not pay office calls).  Anyway, the only thing since the 26th is a stabbing, shooting pain straight into my ear.  Lasts a second and gone.
Was this really strong L'Hermittes?  Like I said, I have had it before but not like that.  Would it have been a flare?

I will throw this into the mix.....since all this I began talking in my sleep....a lot.  Its as though every thought in my head comes out my mouth.  It can even wake me up.  I have caught myself really talking my thoughts out  without even knowing it.  Comments?

Hi Karilann - Welcome!

You still here with us?

Did you make a call to the Dr at all about this?

Sending along a hello, and my condolences to you for the loss of mother.

I hope you got some much needed rest.

I have not posted in a long while, and we have not met.

I am really sorry for your loss.  It is something that everybody knows that will happen some day, but when it actually comes, nobody is prepared for it.  I lost mine three years ago, and I still mourn for her.

When mine passed away, I had just come out of a relapse and thought that I was having another one.  I called my neuro and saw her.  She told me that my loss and all the hard work that is done during this times may trigger some symptoms that we have and others that we only have occasionally.

Like Heather said, I will keep a log and if they get too much to handle I would call my doctor.

Now that all of the arrangements have been done, I would encourage you to rest for a while (I know is not easy) and try to remember that your mother would always want you to feel well and up on the go.  Mothers, even if they are in Heaven, do not like their children to suffer.

Take care and hope everything gets better in a short while.

Oh honey, I am SO sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.  The shock of losing a loved one can play havoc with your body.  

I understand about your L'Hermittes, but from what you described since the passing of your precious mother, it may be a kind of migraine what my Neuro calls mini-migraines that feel like an ice pick is being driven into your head.  She also said it can be caused by clinching your jaw tightly.  You may be doing this without realizing it, due to the stress that you are currently under.

I would keep tabs on what you are feeling and if things get worse, I would definitely let your doctor know.  

Again I am so sorry about the loss of your mother.
