Physical info: 27 year old white male,
6'1, 160 pounds, non-smoking,
non-drinking, with no previous serious
health issues.
For about five months I've been having the
following symptoms:
1. Tremoring/shaking muscles upon
exertion. When resting they occasionally
twitch, without being strong enough to
actually my limbs. Walking down stairs has
become uncomfortable as my thighs tremor
when my muscles fully engage.
2. violent head shocks/zaps that have left
me awake for 36 hours at a time. They
occur the moment I am about to "cross
over" into sleep. Sometimes sharp noises
trigger them (wood, plastic cracking), but
it only happens when I'm sleepy,
accompanied by my vision going from black
to bright gold.
3. Constant ringing in my right ear for
about a month and a half.
The tremors started occurring about one
month before the ringing. About two days
after the ringing started the head zaps
began. They occur on average of 2-3 days a
week. During the worst episodes I cannot
sleep for 36 hours, and one time for 48. I
only pass out from sheer exhaustion.
4. My short term memory and concentration
have been slowly fading.
5. Upper neck pain. It varies day to day
from uncomfortable to extremely painful.
Here is a copy of my MRI (Head/IACs, with
and without contrast) in the original
DICOM format. Taken July 2nd 2007:
