Zapping surges through head,

Hi, as some of you will already know i added a post recently with my concern in having surges through my head, it is now 4.00 in the morning i cant sleep, i went to bed and after lying there for a while everything seemed fine suddenly i was to jump right up and i mean i jumped up after i had this sudden like zapping surge shoot right through my head and in to both my ears with a very sudden loud beepy tone, this noise was only a very short time but was very loud, the surge was very fast but yes zappy like in nature, this really made me jump up also my wife jumped up beside me to ask if i was ok, i have had the experience of these before but not like this one with that loud bleepy tone noise in the ears, this was over in no time, what an experience, my head was aching afterwards

i carried on laying down thinking things would settle then i had atleast another three to follow this but even though they seemed like zappy surges they did not give me the loud ear thing and they seemed to be in different areas, another strange thought zappy yes, its a word i picked up from Quix and it seems to fit the experience, i was stuck for words to describe these earlier and you know what the strange thing is itn seems as though you can hear these zapping through feelings even when it doesnt seem as though it is in my ears very strange all this although i did have the lightest kinda strange high frequency noise in ma ears and as though my hearing was maybe quite not there but yet it was if ya kinda know what i mean, i aint good at  putting things in to words, bit of a problem with me im afraid but i do ma best

this might sound frightening etc but the strange thing is i am not frightened by this at all, concerned yes, think i was more so a little frightened the first time, hey i will just zap em back they dont call me the shooting star for nothing ya know, fastest slinger in outerspace

joking aside, yes a very strange experience indeed, i will discuss this with my doc later on, hurray i finally get to see my doc, i wonder what joy this will bring, what do you think about this and has anyone else experienced a similar kinda thingy, thankyou for taking the  time to read this post

David.

Hi Amyloo, thanks its nice to know that i aint the only one with this, i thought people would think i was bonkers telling them this and it is very hard to explain, i can explain most things but this is one of those ones thats just gets ya not so easy to say how it feels but its like how you said it does feel like a vibrating zapp thats the word i was maybe looking for thanks and it does only last say 3 seconds

when i was trying to explain about seems as though you can hear it think its more so the vibrating feel it that has helped me loads its not hard for me to get confused with things at the moment but it was the first time i had that real loud noise in ma ears thought it was gonna blow ma ear drums out lol

let you know what the doc says probably not be of much use but Quix says sounds like what a lot of people with ms report as brain zaps thanks for that Amyloo

take care luv David.

Hi David,  I have read your post before.  I get the vibrating zap through my head too.  It lasts about three seconds and sometimes I have to actually hold my head until it passes.  Most unnerving.  The first time it happened to me I was driving and my left eye went blind.  (This was about ten years ago, and only lasted about afew seconds.)  It's gross.  Let me know what your Dr. says.  God bless you, Amy
