Hi Sean_P, if you would do us the favor and post this on a separate thread, that would be great. Many people won't respond because your story has little to do with the information on research articles. Hope to see you around, Lulu
For a while I have been getting very mild sensations to my left shoulder, going up my neck. It usually happened about 1-2 times a week. Nothing serious. But then this morning I went to my P.E class and we play some indoor basketball. Towards the end I have the ball and take a shot...and that's when things seemed to get really BAD. Right as I took the shot I felt the same thing as what I just told you but easily 1000x worse. All of a sudden I felt like I had to sit beside the wall because of how bad it felt. Once I did, then I noticed that the left side of my tongue went numb. Then this reminded me of something I've heard before, where people get strokes on one side of their body, and I panicked somehow without getting my blood pressure soaring to figure out what to do. Then 1-2 minutes later, the pain and numness subsided, but I still felt a throb in my head.
I'm getting a little worried if this is going to change my life. I'm a freshman in high-school and I want to know if I can play sports with this 'condition'.
P.S.- I've looked at some other threads/forums and found out that it might of happened when the shoulder blades press up against your main nerves system. They say your body is trying to tell you your nerves are damaged. Also I found out that most of the electricity that the human body conducts is put into your back. This might explain why people always feel like they've been 'shocked' bacause maybe we're conducting electricity differently than others.
Also I should add that before my heart-surgery in 3rd grade, I would be able to tell exactly when a light was about to flicker. I remember one day in 2nd grade when word got around my classroom that my 'skill' seemed legit. There was this light in the classroom that would turn off and back on every 5-60 seconds, and I was able to tell my classmates 1/2 a second before eack time it would flicker. My classmates were amazed and I did the same thing in the cafeteria a week later. Although a seemed to loose alot of qualities by my 3rd grade sergury, it seems some of them are coming back to me. (I just wanted to add this because other posts seemed to tell something similar
Anything will be apreciated.
Anybody else have any suggestions on this?
If you actually want to read articles, you might check out PubMed Central, which has only full-text content: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/

Sho, I LOVE those guys! ProfG, and the MouseDoctor are my latest faves! I echo the other suggestions given here, though I have nothing to add :(
Tingle T, and Kwaren! I've never visited those, and look forward to doing so!
Keep em coming folks!
These are excellent sources. Have visted them myself, and I double and triple and quadruple Sho's recommendation to use them!
Thank you so much for sharing these, Sho!!!!
My research facility of choice is the MS Research Center of NY. It's the research side of my MS Day Spa :-) They about to begin an autologous stem cell study aimed at repair and regeneration in patients with progressive MS.

Hi Sho,
Amazing amount of resources presented. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
I like the Pubmed information and, in my opinion, the best guy to bring all the research together I've discovered is here:
