I know what it is like to chew your tongue, that blood taste good. Then when it hurts to eat, you got to love it. When I was younger I experienced G.M. and Complex Partial seizures. My epilepsy has taken a new path I started having nocturnal seizures and falling out of the bed. That is what hurt my shoulder, cervical and lumbar disc. I had a shoulder operation for repair and it worked, but I am not comparing my shoulder injury to yours. The herniated cervical disc causing me to have earaches, which was the most painful thing I have been through. Now I am able to catch my earaches when they start and don't ignore them. Having an earache for 30 days teaches a lesson. More painful than the 2 brain surgeries. I experienced real problems with the herniated lumbar disc twice. That is being barely able to walk and I mean barely. I wised up (hard to believe) and stared sleeping on the correct side of the bed so I do not fall out. Good Luck, NaBox

=( After repeated "shudders" yesterday and the day before, my right shoulder and my neck on the right side are very stiff and sore. It feels like I've been headbanging at a concert. But only the right side is sore (when I twitch, I move to the right). I hope I don't have anymore shudders today. My neck is very tender and I have a headache from the muscle soreness.
