deidra,
Call the doctor. I have never been blessed/cursed with the neck thing. The worst thing he can say is don't worry about it. But at least you can stop worrying. I feel it is very important to comminicate with the Doctor. They do work for us.

It's called L'hermitte's sign. It's an electric shock sensation. It was one of my most irritating symptoms. I had it constantly for about 3 months. It was IN my head though. weird. Let your doctor know for sure. I hope your keeping a journal of your symptoms. Good luck.

I have had that since I was very young late teens, have not been having it as much since dx and never thought about it till I read your post. I guess I have had symptoms since a child. I am going to talk to my doctor about it and you should as well just to give you a piece of mind.

I had that symptom for about two weeks then it went away. It sure is annoying isn't it? Tell your doc about it. Sherie is right. Keep a journal about all of this - even if it's lighter one day and stronger the next. That way you can sort of map what you were doing that day...maybe stress or heat or bad food is making the symptoms worse.

I rated mine on a scale from 1-10. That way the doctor would know how severe it would get. Sometimes all I would have do is move my eyes from left to right to get it started. It also happened alot at night when I would go to bed. I still get it, but not as often, thank goodness! I have NOT been dx'd with Ms though, my tests all came back negative.

I have had this, too. Not so much since rebif unless I don't get enough rest. My neuro told me to call if a symptom shows up or comes back and lasts for 24 hours.

Ah yes...the 'ole L'Hermitte sign. I think this was my 2nd symptom, after being diagnosed and before I started Rebig. Still have it from time to time when I look down. Mine just goes down the front of my legs. I think definitely something to talk to your doctor about :)

I have this as well. It has been with me pretty much non-stop since the middle of 05. It seemed to be classic from what I've read in my research (since july 07). Mine would/is stimulated by the chin to chest movement. My neurologist, who is self admittantly inexperienced with MS, (I gotta take who the VA assigns), looked befuddled when I 1st brought up this L'Hermitte's. I have been asked by this man to research and read as much as I can in order to make educated decisions. My c-spine MRI did mention a paracentral disc protrusion of the disc between c6-c7, but I feel this is an isolated case with the disc, considering the fact that I injured my neck years ago on the job. I had to have my left ear sewn back on from the same incident.
The Copaxone that I started in September seems to be helping this although that is not generally a recognized "advantage" of this drug. Good luck with yours. It's amazing what the human body can become used to.

Wow...do I agree with that statement, Paul, about your body becoming accustomed to things. I have a problem with explaining my pain scale to urgent care doctors since now it's not a big deal...I've dealt with unexplained pain for so long that it actually took a third gall bladder attack before it ruptured for me to pay attention to the pain. I'm used to intermittent sight...wow, imagine the distress on "normal" people if they had to deal with our abnormally normal daily living. XOXOXOXO

I HAD IT ONCE. WHEN I WOULD BEND MY HEAD FORWARD.IT WOULD SHOOT DOWN MY SPINE.ALMOST A BUZZING NOISE ALONG WITH IT.

I got the neck thing too. Sometimes I get like that too, no matter where I turn it I get the sensation. But mostly it happens when I look down.

I get this too...Mine comes and goes, the first time it stayed to annoy me for about a month. The shocking sensation goes down my neck and right through the left side of my body down to my toes. Sometimes it is very strong that I feel my leg will give out. It is very weird and annoying...good luck.
