i only made it at work for a couple hours. even the lab manager said ya you're no looking 100%".
anyway, the brain zaps for me were like feeling an electrical "charge". so it wasn't really pain for me, not like a zap so much.
i dont know if anyones ever actually gotten shocked before. my grandparents had a farm and some areas had electric fence to keep cows in. of course as a kid your dared to touch the fence. (ps dont EVER grab the fence line with your hand it will naturally curl and you will end up grabbing the fence line and get a really bad shock) but i put my foot on it. will Never forget that feeling. not so much pain but i felt this ...this charge that shot through my body.thats actually what it felt like in my head...a sort of electrical shock, a charge that quickly felt inside my head, and at the same time my eyes would sort of maybe zoom in and out, or ....shift? somehow.
i dont know what got me on this but i'd really like to explain how it felt so bare with me.so i felt that 'charge' and the eye thing at the same time. when that would happen its almost like i lost some time. even if it was a few seconds? not sure, but after it...dissapated? i felt not quite aware of things. my level of awareness slowly came back.
However the one great thing that came of this is i came up with a Great research idea for maybe identifying the efficacy of medication.
im going to try to write it up and present it to my boss to see if he would give it a try.
it would mean branching out into the psychology field and my boss is close to retirement so i'm not sure he's would agree. but he may be able to point me to someone who would. The thing is...i dont have a PhD so i cant initiate this on my own. Need phd to get grant funds. HOWEVER on the other hand NIH is really into collaborative grant funds, and joining up the the field of psychology is a Great....GREAT concept.The research idea that i have may even be up to a 10 year study, with many follow up studies(ive though of at least 8 already), lasting who knows how long.
i wish i could team up with Dr.Bob. I hope that whomever might pick this idea up would be willing to allow me to be second author on any publications. but thats a pipe dream. i'm just the grunt. However, id give that up if someone would take ths study on and allow me to be involved, as my concept is quite complex.
sorry went on tangent.
thanks
