Hello everybody!

Question to ask- I'm in Week 5 post rads and just this week my tongue has been doing something different. My native tongue will all of a sudden get a zing and electric type shock feeling to it. It's quite uncomfortable pain wise and it always makes me pop open my eyes when it happens. This is the really weird thing though- it only happens when I'm falling asleep. It's so frustrating to be right there on the edge of rest and the spontaneous zing gets you. I find that it doesn't matter if I'm on my back, left or right side.

I called my RO and he thinks its the nerves regenerating post radiation.

Any thoughts or suggestions?!

TY!
