> Yes, it's quite possible there's a correlation between the shocks you received & your problems. I can't provide a link right now (it was something I'd read in a science journal) but people who have survived strong electrical shocks other than lightning have also had similar stories. Even if yours wasn't as powerful as others were, the fact that it was directly at your head may be enough. You may wish to read over the some of the info in the link I'd provided for Robin.

> Are you sure there was no lightning storm in the area? The charge can be transmitted from a lightning strike on the ground through the phone cables (most are underground now) to the person using a phone. This is why it's suggested to not use a phone unless absolutely necessary during storms. I've heard of a "ball of lightning" (best description for what it looked like) that rolled off a phone that was blasted from the wall due to a strike to someone's phone lines in their yard. It's also good to avoid using any plumbing, standing near open windows, & unplugging major (& expensive) appliances during lightning storms when they're nearby or severe.

Actually, there wasnt any storm when this happened. Come to find out, there was some sort of short in the phone that I was using, and as a result, I was shocked about 4 times in my head. But, I will go to the link you provided. Thanks alot!
