   WILL PROBABLY PISS YOU OFF.

   this is so lame. kinda freaked out. finding nothing on webMD and my Doctor isn't in his office yet

   there is something wrong with me.. physically or in my head.. and if i had ingested some kinda chemical to make me feel this way it wouldn't be so scary

   so in May i was outside smoking a cigarette and felt an intense sharp pain in my foot.. followed by this wave the spread up and throughout my entire body.. this sensation was so odd... it felt like diseased electricity.. i begin to think that a spider bit me... have trouble making it up the porch steps to get into the house... i'm sweating, heart doesn't seem to be beating right... i feel hot and cold at the same time and i'm trembling so hard that i couldn't use my smart phone to dial or anything... i remove my shoe and swear i see where i was bitten... i squeeze the area on the top of my foot, thinking it will help push poison out.. and an even more intense wave of diseased electricity spikes and courses through my body again

   my wife wasn't ever able to see any bite.. i'm feeling like i'm dying and should probably go to the hospital... all the symptoms pass and we both agree it must have been a panic attack or flashback or something all in my head

   but then a weak ago... i felt a sharp stabbing/popping pain in my side.. followed by the wave of diseased electricity feeling, simultaneously hot and cold... the diseased electricity felt less powerful this time but sustained throughout my body... i thought.. this would probably feel cool... if i knew what drugs i took that were doing it.. but i'm sober.. so did my appendix just burst? i didn't get the hardcore shaking this time but my breathing and heart rate were shallow and odd... realizing that if my appendix had actually ruptured i would be in too much pain to think i calm down and all symptoms subside

   then last night at my brother's house.. i get quick intense but tiny prick of pain in my right forearm followed by a few fleeting feeling of the diseased electricity.. slightly dizzy.. feeling a little hot and cold but no where near as intense as before.. heart and breathing barely change but change a little

   are these panic attacks? i fucking hope so.. it would suck if something were physically causing this.. if its just a panic attack.. i think identifying it as such will probably help me... since the symptoms have lessened as the idea of it just being in my head has solidified

   anyway.. if you have some advice or just want to laugh at me (i laugh at myself too and think its beneficial) i'm all ears

   hmm. i do smoke but my diet has always mostly consisted of fruits and vegetables. born and raised vegetarian but i do like meat but eat mostly fish... but i also thought strokes.. and a bunch of other things.

   my doctor is in Co. skiing. reading about stroke @ webMD and i don't think that is it

   Well I hope it's not a stroke. we need you bro.

   It makes sense that it's a mental problem. I think everyone on sideline has mental problems.

   ps I immediately thought of nucleus's raptured gland (from constipation) and floppy skin and deteriorating eyesight when I saw this. And I lol'd

   pps your smoking can easily negate those effects of veggies. do you exercise?

   The symptom of the electricity feeling points very strongly to something nerve related.You also have symptoms like losing feeling or numbness in parts of your body, or not being able to move certain parts?

   Anyway, its most probably nerve related, It could be something harmless, but it could also be something very serious (it is one of the possible symptoms or multiple sclerosis for instance). So i would go see a doctor about this. You can wait till he is back. It's probably not life threatening.

   haven't gotten any numbness or inability to move anything

   the cigarettes are on their way out.. and i vaporize pot, which may exacerbate this problem

   from my morning research.. comparing what i'm going through with what others have described on the internet.. i think they are just panic attacks.. and now believing that is what they are i'm interested in what my reaction will be next time

   i believe this last episode was so diminished because i've started to believe it was all in my head... so if they are only panic attack i feel like i can deal with them completely, without medication

   still gonna see my Dr. in case i have something like corn flakes disease

   Damn Josh- it sounds a bit like a pinched nerve coupled with a panic attack. I have them occasionally from my job [the nerve] and they can make a whole side of your body numb and tingly. I have had that bite feeling in my foot. That "diseased electricity", thing too. Is there any part of your body that is difficult to move? That may be where the nerve was first irritated. The shit is crippling.

   BTW "Diseased Electricity", is a great title for something.

   I don't think side-line is the best place to get medical advice but I'd say it's a panic attack.

   My wife suffers from those all the time. If she doesn't have Clonazepam with her at all times she feels pains that are not there and she thinks she's dying all the time.

   If those are really panic attacks the hardest thing would be to find the triggers. There are some obvious stuff like caffeine, taurine, MDMA, Meth and so on that could obviously trigger a panic attack but more subtle things are difficult to identify.

   For my wife for example THC triggers panic attacks which sucks really bad cause she used to love pot but had to completely stop because of her panic disorder.

   its probably foolish.. but if they are panic attacks.. i think my very heavy use of psychedelics will help me deal with them... i've had crippling dread while tripping.. and once i remembered that i intentionally took something to make me feel like this.. i was able to calm down and have fun

   now.. i don't think any fun will be involved.. but i hope that the fact that i KNOW i am able to respond to and steer my experience depending upon perception... that these panic attacks wont ever turn into panic disorder

   if a pinched nerve is involved.. i wonder how i did it. i don't do any aerobic exercise but lots of stuff with free weights and my own body.. but i've been doing it for years so seems like a pinched nerve would only come from pushing to hard or lack of proper form.. both of which i doubt are the case

    Hmm. It actually DOES sound like a panic attack in a lot of ways. The fact that it started with a weird feeling like a bite is a bit odd though. I agree with the rest of them that it could be something nerve-related. In fact it could be both; it could be that the weird nerve related feeling of a bite or a pinch feeling startled you into panic mode. Panic attacks don't usually start gradually or anything. They just come out of nowhere. I'm sure you know that.

    I would say your appendix did not burst though; that is EXTREMELY painful - almost unbearable - causes a very high fever and makes you very sick. You would have had to go to the emergency room immediately if that happened. So don't worry about it being that. You MAY have been bitten by something, I guess. Just because you don't see a bite doesn't necessarily mean anything. It also sounds like it could be hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. I have that and if I don't eat, I get symptoms very much like what you have described. I get shaky, sweaty (hot and cold like waves), sometimes pukey or lightheaded and my body feels "wired".

    I hope you get it sorted out, though and I think you SHOULD go to the Dr. That shit is no fun and very scary, even if it's something minor. But it's always better to know.

    I have a completely different theory which is also valid because it's on Side-Line. Here goes :

    You were actually bitten by a radioactive spider and soon you will mutate into a super hero. Mutation is stressful, hence why there might be panic attacks.

    If you get a call from a guy that calls himself Charles X don't trust a word he says, he wants to rule the world with care bear like mutants and will prevent you from using your powers for the evil deeds that super heroes sometimes have to perform in order for justice to reign.

    haha.. i've joked about the voodoo shit too.. its thick down here

    a better question is who haven't i pissed off?

    DarkTexas has shown me the light though. I'm not going to be a dick anymore... so whom ever is pricking the voodoo doll... lesson learned, i'll be a good boy from now on.

    from all my reading... i would believe it were panic attacks... except that there is a sharp fucking pain immediately before the other symptoms. hmmm... just typing this i realized something... the pain has been in my right foot... the right side of my abdomen... and my right forearm.

    definitely weird... i've always tried to maintain good health with the exception of shit that probably totally negated good eating and decent exercise habbits. hopefully the Doc can find out what the fuck is going on

    All on one side? That speaks strongly of something nerve-related. I hope you get it taken care of, man. Let us know what they say.

    I second the "Diseased Electricity".

    Seriously though, the onset of this was in May and you still haven't seen a doctor? I hate to be blunt but these are the early symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. My aunt had it and my Grandpa's neighbor Gus got it last year. What you are describing sounds exactly like what they told me. Please go see someone as soon as possible.

    well fuck.. Eric... that scared the shit out of me

    may was stressful so i just chocked it up as my first panic attack.. the next 2 events were a week a part.. the last of which was 2 days ago

    i'm definitely going to see the doc

    but after being scared shitless (my aunt had MS) and reading the symptoms.. i think and hope it isn't MS

    fucking hope its just panic attacks... no offense to those with panic attacks that are anything but "just" but i feel like i can deal with panic

    Really sorry to tell you that. What you described struck a nerve so to speak. Thats exactly what both of them said about it though... weird electricity. Its very common up here in the N.W. People seem to think its caused by lack of sunlight which creates a Vitamin D deficiency. This is why I make sure our whole family gets plenty of sun every summer. We all build up really dark tans during our 3 month summer. Just out of curiousity do you ever get any sun or do you avoid it? Do you take supplements and drink fortified milk?

    Also from the way you describe it this is not "panic attacks". First you get the "diseased electricity" which then results in your change in mood so its more like cause and effect. Panic attacks manifest themselves more in relation to your surroundings and situations rather than actual physical sensations. Please see a doctor right away man and let us know how you are doing. Hopefully I'm wrong.
