Brain Shocks

Does anyone experience brain shocks? I've been experiencing them for over 10 years now, usually right before I go to sleep, but sometimes not. Is this a sign of MS? I'm just putting the dots together now. I have been diagnosed with FMS and I do fall into most of those categories, but the past I would say--sixth months have really taken a toll on my health--from shaking hands (only occasionally) to tingling and numb limbs, to slow and slurry speech or speech that I just can't seem to get out of my mouth, etc. I think I have MS and my bloodwork all came back negative for anything out of the ordinary, like type II Diabetes that can also cause neuropathy.

I kinda know what your talking about, I too get shocks as you say to me it be like knife stabbing in my head, will stop me and pain enough to just squint my eyes and bare it till it goes away, sometime comes in intervals, it is in my brain stem where they found allot of demylin. can't spell!
Have you had a MRI?

I don't know if what your describing is what i have, but i've been getting them for years. It's never very consistent, but when it comes, it practically knocks me over. Mine usually start in my temple and it feels like an electric shock, sorta, running through my head. I don't know if it's MS related or not, since i have yet to be dxed, but it would be good to know what it causing them!

I have these too! It feels like electrical shocks shooting through my head. They come here and there and are never followed by a headache or anything. I have no clue what it is.

Gosh! And I thought I was going nuts! I've had this for several years. Maybe twice a year but when it comes, look out! Now that I have been diagnosed with MS, this makes sense when it did not make sense before.

OMG I was dx when I was in mid-40's with only one episode of dbl vision about 8yrs prior no other noted symptoms. But I have had those since teen years, docs thought I was nuts, it now makes sense to me! It is wild that now since dx I have not had one in years.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
