This really is a shock. What happened ? Is this real? Yes a year and a half ago I got a series of brain zaps. They say the don't hurt you it's well known it occurs but you won't find it on a side affect list. 15 doctors and a psychiatrist later and going deaf having tubes put in my ears which made things worse a list of symptoms that are impossible to function in normal daily living and it's psychosomatic well all illness is psychosomatic I have been handed off like a hot potato. My ex wife left after the brain zaps my family wants to institutionalize me because I don't leave the house much. my life is meaningless.
