Update: the random jolts of pain lasted for 4 days and although I would occasionally have an hour or two without one, most of the time they were coming several times a minute, every minute of the day even while I slept (or tried to).
I still have no idea what caused it but I'm glad it stopped.

I shall keep my fingers crossed then that its "just" an MS thing then. I guess time will tell. :)

Unfortunately it can... the varicella virus lies dormant in your system after your initial bout with chicken pox. I have also had shingles and I hope that isn't the case cause honestly ... it's horrible.

Now theres a thought! Can shingles strike twice? I recall having them in my teens. Certainly I have enough stressful stuff going on to bring out an attack.

Watch of signs of a rash and or itching... could be shingles. I know I had pain before I broke out with rash and itching.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm still getting used to having another possibilty to consider when things go awry.
Now it's giving me random jolts of pain making me jerk my head to that side and squint one eye. I must look ever so slightly weird lol. It also hurts when I have a cold drink and the cold liquid passes that bit of my throat.
Guess I'll call the neuro first thing Monday if its still hapening, although I'm not sure what she'l do.
It sounds like an MS symptom to me. I've had this symptom before. I doubt it's the Rebif. I'd call your neurologist.
