Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi All, I am having a bit of a relapse, my right forearm has went a bit numb and I keep getting shooting pains on my right temple and just above it, I’m told this is due to the nerve switching on and off. It wasn’t to bad at first, as it was only happening now and then, but it is now happening when I’m sleeping, and consequently it is waking me up. Has anyone else experienced the shooting pains in their head, if so did they do anything to help it? Thanks in advance Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each spot would do this for several weeks at a time. They disappear later just as mysteriously as they appear. I've always thought since I've been on LDN for 2 1/2 years that maybe these are electrical signals from the brain that were blocked before and maybe the LDN is unblocking the nerve pathways gradually. I know I have not progressed one tiny bit but I do have these quirks from time to time. Annoyances YES, for me progression NO and I have not progressed with these quirks any at all. I just ride them out or take massager to the areas that I can massage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I use to have that and it got so bad that I went to the ER and told them I had fainted. I never fainted to begin with but fabricated the story so I would be admitted to the hospital for 3 days of very thorough testing to exclude the possibility of brain tumor or stroke. They kept telling me prior to the fabrication I had anxiety disorder. HA!!!!! Calcium EAP injections made the electrical shocks go away. It was also on the right parietal radiata of the temporal lobe. Are you taking LDN? That should help in time.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Iain, Since starting the ldn a month ago, I get occasional burning pain in my right temple which is quite severe, I would almost call it surface pain. I can't say that it's a shooting pain, however. There are times where it is very bothersome, but I am finding as the weeks go by, I have it less and less. I hope this helps. > > Hi All, > > I am having a bit of a relapse, my right forearm has went a bit numb and I > keep getting shooting pains on my right temple and just above it, I'm told > this is due to the nerve switching on and off.
