Does anyone have this but it feels more like its going up into the brain rather than down from head?

    I had to look that word up, you're not encouraged to 'know' or use terminology in uk. I've had electric shock sensations on many occasions the worst was a few months ago, but not down my spine, down my arms and into my fingers. Also quick sharp ones all over I have now and often part of my skull thst really hurts and accompanies other ms symptoms and also what my Dr thought was head/brain spasms.

    I have this sign as well, but I try not to think about it going into the brain--actually when it happens, I react so quickly raising my chin up so as to no longer feel it.  (it scares me because it feels like an electric shock).
