#nerve test

If you can ever avoid it, do it.

It was not the most painful thing I've experienced. More like- extremely uncomfortable.

W and Nerve Stimulation Testing

Went through nerve stimulation at the doctors today. Had to lay on a table and have electrical impulses go through my neck. I asked W if he wanted to feel what it felt like since he had mentioned being interested in the electrical nerve stimulation before. He declined at first. I got the sense that he didn’t want to go through nerve pain or feel like he was being springlocked again. But he hovered close and was using a clipboard to take notes (clearly interested) so I offered the idea of him channeling through just enough to observe it, not necessarily to feel it. He liked that, so I brought him partially through.

After cautiously testing the waters, he stepped through more once he realized there was no pain. In fact, he sort of “tsked” and muttered something about the fact that it wasn’t nearly as strong as he suspected it would be. He experienced the stimulation test enough to have some thoughts about how he could use the technology, ultimately deciding that he would rather design something where a tool could be inserted directly into the skin in order to stimulate the nerves from underneath. He enjoys the idea of being able to control a person from far away, with the specific requirement of the person being fully aware that he’s doing it.

I have a theory that he is somewhat fixated with nerve pain and having items shoved into the body due to his physical trauma.

Nurse: He wants you to come back for an EMG.

Me: What's that?

Nurse: A nerve test.

Me: What does it entail?

Nurse: It looks at your nerves.

Cool.
