How to tell when an attack is over?

[conansmom]

What pennstater said.
I had the shocking and severe pain. I would scream.
I thought I was dying.
When the shocking and severe neck pain and headaches went away I realized I wasn't going to die.
I lost close to 50lbs.
Between the shock, hug, spasticity, pain, numbness, and fear, I found the shock and hug the absolute worse. And nothing worked for the pain but time.

Just a little more information about Lhermitte's sign:

This symptom is due to cervical spinal cord lesions. Brain lesions do not cause Lhermitte's sign. If the symptoms are lasting more that a few seconds it's not Lhermitte's sign. There can be other causes for Lhermitte's sign and is not exclusive to this disease. Hope that helps anyone interested in Lhermitte's sign
