Can anyone tell me, does Lhermitte's sign have to be felt down your spine ?
I have had numerous neurological symptoms over the last 5 months. My family doc suspects MS but the neurologist thought I was a puzzling case. I've had several blood tests, brain and spinal MRI's, Evoked Potential & EEG. I am waiting for follow-up on all these tests with the neurologist the end of Sept (ahhh the waiting game!!!!).
Most recently I had electrical shocks down my torso (like a lightning bolt). One shock was down my right FRONT side and the other time more in the centre near my heart (separate occasions). Wondering if this is Lhermitte or just another electrical shock (I also get them in my arms and legs periodically). There was no pain afterwards. Like most of my symptoms, they seem to be momentary.
I also experienced a couple electrical shocks on my face. Is this Trigeminal Neuralgia? Again, no after pain... just a momentary shock.
Thanks, I appreciate the comments. The internet is an amazing source of information. But nothing beats experience/advice from real people!!!!
